I'd like to open discussion and conduct a poll....... the topic is monk weapons.
A description of the monk class in dungeon's and dragons states,
"They typically use only their bare hands as weapons, delivering powerful blows that grow stronger as the Monk rises in power. Monks can also use special Monk weapons such as the quarterstaff and kama, using many of their unarmed-combat abilities with these weapons as well."
I realize this is Sloth and not D&D but nonetheless..... I think it is a great idea. My personal thoughts are that weapons of this type WOULD allow hand damage to apply. Additionally, certain weapons could be used with strike, stun, flurry etc.
I would NOT be proposing that any of these weapons further enhance the normal base hand damage. In fact, a weapon could do less than normal base damage but have a proc on a successful strike for instance.
I just think its silly that the monk class is a weaponless class and that weapons of this type would only add to the flavor of the game.
This is an open discussion. Please post your thoughts or hit me online if I'm in Nab/Mojo.
Thanks,
Keith
P.S. Nunchaku are a must!!!
