[ITEM/WEAPON] Glove Weapons
Posted: Sun Nov 09, 2008 3:33 am
Maybe put in some weapons that work off of the brawling skill.
A few examples from Rome, Greece, and some other countries (The names of the weapon could be changed to reflect the FR setting):
* Bagh Nakh - Hand-to-Hand weapon designed to fit over the knuckles or concealed under the palm. Normally consists of four or five curved blades fixed to a crossbar or glove.
* Cestus - A series of hardened leather thongs wrapped around the hand.
* Myrmex - A three-pronged fork (like a miniature trident) attached to a cestus with a tough hide backing/glove that goes under the thongs.
* Neko-te - Two metal bands conjoined by a leather strap that wraps around the hand and is secured at the wrists. The bands would then would have spikes/blades/studs affixed to them.
* Srbosjek (graviso knife) - A fingerless leather glove with an inset blade in the palm, the edge of the blade is on the concave side of the blade. The blade itself is about 12 cm long and protrudes from the downward side of the glove.
* Pata - Basically a shortsword blade integrated into a gauntlet. Kind of like a single bladed Katar.(I know some of you probably remember the katar from Diablo II)
* Tekko - There are many versions of this. Simply, it is a semi-circle shaped, fist-load weapon, with a curved blade that rests against the knuckles.
Well that was more than a few...
But you get the idea... just something that would buff your brawling damage a bit. Some could be quest rewards, flaming, iced, hr/dr enchantments, etc...
