Weapon Types and Their Uses

[Hauwke]

We need some kind of urumi. Thats for damn sure.

Edit: could come under razor since you know... It is a fucking bunch of razkr sharp strands of something on a sword hilt basically

Or just not have 400 "sword" weapons that cover the range from dagger to broadsword, and all the scimitars in between whilst having "this is a rock tied to a stick" and "this is a CARVED rock tied to a stick" for bludgeoning.

Can we like, actually have what branches weapons changed?
Bludgeoning branching pike-kun is kinda of.
Whats the word.
Retarded.

[Hauwke]

I actually think it makes some sense. Less sense than it branching from piercing but still. It makes sense in my head in the way that its not actually 'just a long spear lulz' Again it would make more sense to branch from piercing.

.Also Pikes.
Fuck pikes.
Pikes are retarded irl.

IRL Pikes are the shit against a cavalry charge. Just saying.

[RogueGunslinger]

It got page-rolled, but it's a great idea, and you know it.

Why pikes branch from bludgeoning at all continues to stump me.

Pie in the sky dream:

Bludgeoning should branch all new skills:
              Hand-weapons (cestus, bone knuckles,)
              Flail-weapons.

Flails would be slow and do bigger damage to stun with chances of knocking your opponent to sitting
Hand-weapons would be fast stun weapons equivalent to knife-weapons..


Chopping should also get a new weapons skill:
          Pole-arms
          Double-bladed staffs.

Double bladed staffs would do less damage than pole-arms, but give extra attacks per round, equivalent to dual-wield.


Piercing should branch Pikes and Tridents.

Slashing should branch Whips and Razors.

And finally, Knife-Weapons should be a starting weapons skill for pickpockets, assassins and warriors.

[Merdin]

Honestly, I feel like every single slashing knife we have in-game, should be made into a knife-weapon item unless it's a long-knife of some sort. And then? Make knife-weapons unusable on a mount, give it to warriors at the start and  pickpockets/assassins at a low cap.

I like this idea and the one above.

[Dresan]

I know some weapons could be used two ways different ways already but I wouldn't mind seeing similar weapons having more varied classifications that are more dependent on just skill of who is using them.
