There are three things to remember about favorite weapons:

1)  They are always well suited to your style.

2)  They are *NOT* always well suited to your stats.  Just because your lunger
starts out with a 7 DF doesn't mean he/she won't get the epee for a favorite
weapon (also, just because your wall of steel is SZ 3 doesn't mean his
favorite won't be the GreatSword).

3)  When you find your warrior's favorite weapon, he will tend to do more
critical (i.e. flashy) attacks, as well as more damage with his weapon (i.e.
more extra-damage attacks).  This doesn't mean that his very first swing
will be a crit, though, so a good amount of time to give each weapon is
2-3 minutes of _offensive_ work, meaning that a TP going 1-1-1-Parry with
his favorite might not look like a cuisinart with it.
