New Weapon?

[Asura 0]

Okay I was wondering if by chance if they made a weapon for the Martial Arts skill, something a player could place over both arms/hands to fight? Because if not then I would like to input my idea here. Thats is if the GM's have made a weapon available to make, I have a poll going, if the GM's never made a weapon I will post my weapon idea, and if so please post here and I will have the topic locked.

I think the weapon is 'wraps' So you'd just have material wraps that you would place over your hands. To get these you need to get a tailor to do it for you.
It's not listed as a 'weapon' as the weapon is well - your hands.

Martial arts is a no weapon skill.

 

 

â–º Martial Arts:
5 Ranks
Passive
The effectiveness with which a player can use unarmed combat. Unlocked after completion of the quest
Quest: <Breaking the Unbreakable.>

 

 

 

 

It does mention the wraps somewhere and I am currently trying to find where.

Okay thank you for that then, well I guess that answers my question, would really have liked to see some metal fist type gauntlets and such as Martial Arts "Wraps" or at least something like <<War Gauntlets>>, thats would be interesting.

[Mari 1]

that then sorta goes against the whole idea that 'martial arts' is a no weapon physical only skill, as you are bringing weapons into the mix.
It might be an idea that gauntlets are a weapon that are possible to gain but contain a requirement that means you need to have the Martial Arts Skill at level 3 before gaining them or something.


Similar to Katana for Curved Sword.

Yes that is what I mean, you must be Rank 3 or higher in MA before getting access to the Skill base weapon of that skill. Yeah something that had one types of weapon form.

 

>> War Gauntlets [blacksmiths only]

 

Something like that up here ^

Wraps are in the weapon enhancements section and states this .

 

Unarmed Damage(Restricted to Hand Wrap type weapons)[caps at 3]: Each enhancement slot used adds +1 to Unarmed damage, this Enhancement boosts martial arts damage. Craft-able by tailors these cannot be equipped at the same time as a weapon mechanically.

 

I looked it up as I was considering making an unarmed damage character that looked like the prince from the new prince of persia game with the blue and orange scarves. I know what you mean about war gauntlets. But honestly I think that having a pair of gauntlets could just be enchanted with unarmed damage really couldn't it?

Also I never checked this but since we're talking about it, do katana weilders add the curved sword damage and the katana damage?

[Asura 0]

That I understand but I mean like War Gauntlets, big metal gloves that cause damage as that is restricted to "Wraps". Im talking about a new type of Martial Art Weapon that works like the Wraps, but also is not them at the same time. Like Kratos Nemean Cestus, Something you can look forward to unlocking after R3 of the MA skill

.

No they don't Grimm, its a new skill type, Its two handed curve not one.

[Mari 1]

No Malakath, it doesn't. That'd be like sticking two weapons together.

It's like an upgrade. You use the Katana in lieu of the curved sword. For more clarification contact a GM as they are working on mechanics like that :D

[Malakath Grimm 0]

But the question stands of why not use a katana in the curved sword scenario and Asura. I know what you're getting at but in reality you can just have a smith make any gauntlets for you and then upgrade them with unarmed. It would work the same way. Plus Kratos's gauntlets while cool won't actually do any damage when they hit you. They are so large that the surface area spread would do hardly anything unless you were as strong as kratos himself

Thats there, thats what I mean, I was talking about a upgraded version of the Wraps, these metal gauntlets that you can use in the skill as a reward for training in the skill for a long time. Like how a <<One-Handed Curve Sword>> upgrades to a <<Katana>>. The <<Wraps>> would upgrade to the <<War Gauntlets>> at Rank 3 in the <<Martial Arts>>

And no that would not work Grimm it clearly says "Hand Wraps" not "War Gauntlets" Wraps are made with leather, WG are made with Metals a big difference, like the OHCS is a Curved sword you wield with one hand. A Katana, a traditional Japanese Katana is a Curved sword yes, but is held with two hands. Big difference.

I'd PM a GM and direct them to this thread so they can have input on it, and perhaps move it to the suggestions topic.

[Malakath Grimm 0]

The alternative is that you do something like that for all weapons then, it's like what if some idiot wanted to be a scythe weilder they'd need to increase their level in 2h war spear? Also if we're talking about added skills there should be a skill that lets you weild a 2h sword in 1 hand so it lets you shield too

[Asura 0]

I thought of that as well once but I never posted it in here as that would seem unethical actually, this isn't Dark Soul or Dark Souls II. As I said this is an idea, and we only have one extra skill like that, its the Katana I was just hoping this would be looked over. 

[Mari 1]

It isn't available for all weapons. It doesn't strengthen the weapon or give the person any sort of advantage, other than the fact that it is a different weapon choice.

Sword Skills (aka weapon skills) are currently being worked on by GMs

It's unarmed combat, which means no weapons. However you can hint to gauntlets if you ever want to call it a weapon. Though your fists are your weapon, that's what makes it a cool extra skill.

Its kind of like MMA. 

 

Professional fighters use wrist and hand wraps. These provide stability to the joints and minor protection. As such a fighter is able to swing a little harder with less concern for their own well being as the gear supplements their own weakness. however they still remain unarmed.

There are hand wraps that can be crafted by tailors such as myself.
