unarmed fighting, skills and combat styles
Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2011 6:09 am
I've started a new character and have been trialling fighting un-armed since the AP for attacks is low, which got me thinking - why are there no handwraps as a weapon?
Would it be possible to add a weapon that has the same AP as fighting unarmed but with a little attack chance or damage boost or a chance to critical or stun or something to make up for the lack of bonuses when not using a weapon.
Once I started thinking about that I wondered maybe there could be combat style skills too?
Skills that give a bonus depending on your equipment setup:
unarmed style: if you have no weapon (or just handwraps) and no shield equipped then you gain some kind of bonus (maybe critical chance and damage)
two handed weapon style: if you have no shield equipped and a weapon with an AP cost of 6 or more then you gain a hefty damage bonus
and so on..
And there could be several ranks of each style of skill with increasing bonuses
