Marshal arts weapons?

[AntiVi]

I have been playing with marshal arts characters however this means I am left without any weapons. Is there any chance of there being marshal arts weapons in the future? Like some kind of metal glove type thing weapon to go across your fists?

Ofc there would have to be balancing but having nothing for a certain fighting style is a bit weird.

there are already martial artist bindings and other armor.. i used to have a 50+ army of MA masters they are terrible indeed...

I tried adding martial arts weapons to Euroswords, but there's a bug where the damage dealt by them is exactly the same as regular fists.

What about an alternate to the martial arts bindings that goes in the same equipment slot but takes the form of small claws/blades attatched to the hands and feet?

Gives a different bonus of adding cutting & bleeding damage to unarmed attacks instead.

Could call it Bladed Bindings, very underground kickboxing bloodsport-esque

there might be some weapons that fit in with the other asian themed weapons such as katanas etc.. i'd say i would like some more variety but only if the devs have time for it. i'd rather see diplomacy / tasks / factions get fleshed out a bit more but thats just me..

I think the MA damage is entirely related to the strength and MA stats.
One way to work around that would be to make a strength increasing binding. But that might be a bit too powerful, since Str is also tied to other stuff.
I suppose you already tried to increase the MA stats on the item ?

Anyway, many if, but that's an idea.

edit : you can't increase "raw" stats like strength apparently. Derp.

it's describe very clear in MA stats, str and tought effect MA damage

In this game fighting unarmed damages your arms. Your punching so hard your breaking your bones, and then your bones heal back stronger, so you can punch even harder. and this isn't just with your arms, it's using every ounce of your body to attack whilst jazz dancing as people try to bob you in the guts with pointy sticks. (Imagine if your character got so strong his rusty stick blade whatever broke and he had to use a better quality weapon because he hits to hard.)

While this game isn't supposed to be very quest heavy, instead of meele weapons for unarmed characters, getting cozy with a faction should net you a specific and prehaps exclusive meele techniquem, different from the ones your characters can due as they level up.

kind of off topic: i'm in a run with no research where might i get martial artists bindings? i've been to squinn, worlds end, mongrel, shark and clowsteady.. so far no luck..

Did some digging in the FCS to see if there were any information reguarding MA

For the most part its what you would expect, damage multipliers except for blleed pierece and robot damage are all set to 1.

Interestingly though "0Fists-robo" which im assuming is the "weapon" Skeletons use while praticing MA is better than regular "FISTS" Bleed, cut and robot damage all have higher multipliers.

Also fists are made out of wood.

I cant for the life of me find anything in the FCS that confirms ingame descriptions or MA damage calculations. In fact no weapons have any damage subtype or reference that indicates it looks at user stats. So im guessing that these things are (for now) hardcoded and not viewable with the FCS.

I couldn't find anyone who sells it. Some people who wears one though. That wouldn't be too hard to mod it though.

On a side note, you don't need them for MA, per say. At some point, you will even stop taking damage from hitting someone armor. But you need quite a bit of MA.

i know i just like it when my values show green and i think it looks nice.. at this point my MA (82) is so insane that i could fight shrieking bandit style and not worry too much against weaker foes..

Just add a glove slot with fist protection stat items.

Nearby Eyesocket (right above the unavailable 1/4th of the map, East of Grey Desert, in the areas called The Eye and Stormgap Coast) there are a faction called "Grass Pirates" roaming around in groups. They wear MA bindings and Sleeveless Dustcoats.
Be wary because they are aggressive and their stats are around ~20.
