One important note for Trouble:<br/><br/>Brawl only deals non-lethal damage, which has no effect unless you deal enogh to force a massive damage save; This rule sucks so badly that I actually took Charles Ryan to task on the WOTC boards for it numerous times, back when I still hung out there. I am willing to make a houserule to allow Combat Martial Arts to be taken instead of Brawl as a bonus feat from the Criminal background. Or, if you prefer, you could take Personal Firearms Proficiency, which actually is on the feat list for Criminal. Me, I'd take the gun feat, and take a knife (they're cheap) for some decent damage.<br/><br/>Other simple weapons Trouble and the rest of the gang might consider:<br/><br/>Metal Baton (collapsible) (1d6, 19-20 crit) Purchase DC 8<br/>Cleaver (1d6, 19-20 crit) Purchase DC 5
