Are clawed gauntlets bugged for anyone else?

[Rieverre]

See thread title. I got the wolvers on my Jack, and it seems they don't properly add damage according to Effort expended on attacks.I just get the base 4 damage regardless of how many points I spend.

Yeah, I noticed that too. They don't seem to work as advertised, although I was using a shield in my off-hand, which might make a difference. It's a shame too since there's an artifact that gives you an extra +4 to damage and +2 per effort expended, which would make unarmed a 8+5 weapon (pretty good for when you get it).

I thought you could give these to the outcast stitch if he joined you :(

They just should have put the fights unarmed focus instead of those bugged enhancements... the core rules were already there is the numenera rulebook, they just had to implement them.

@Rieverre - un-equip and re-equip seemed to fix it for me.

[Ichthyic]

how do you unequip surgically implanted claws?

[Drake]

I think he means equiping a weapon and unequiping it.

[Ichthyic]

ah, right. just tested that... confirmed. works if you equip and then unequip a weapon. also works with shield equipped, so no worries there.

also works with the Candiru. In fact, the description isn't at all clear, but the bonus from the candiru ONLY works with unarmed.
