0 cRichards Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Having an unarmed weapon set easily accessible to all characters gives a quick way to sheathe your weapons when in towns and such for players wishing to delve into role-playing more. This does give a benefit to monk characters as they can always have their fists available, but as was stated previously, just because you sheathe your weapons doesn't mean you can't punch things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Zwiebelchen Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) It's a feature. Obviously, carrying sets of weapons around doesn't mean you can't use your fists if you wanted to. It's not like your hands are suddenly detached from your body just because you happen to have that bow on your back... Monks profit the most from this and that's fine. It's already an underpowered class, no need to nerf it further by removing this feature. Edited April 22, 2015 by Zwiebelchen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 peddroelm Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 i like your justification, but Dev confirming would be even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Luckmann Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Everyone can do it, not just Monks, and it makes perfect sense. That's about as much confirmation as you're going to get. It doesn't even require you to do anything exploitative, you just change weapons like you always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you/everybody cry exploit if anybody used memory editor/console to grant an extra weapon slot on any other char ? ////////// I will use as a feature until/if ever confirmed as bug/exploit by a DEV. My conscience rests easy having reported the potential issue .. Edited April 22, 2015 by peddroelm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that a problem? A wizard traditionally benefits less from tank gear aswell and nobody complains about that. Seriously, it's a feature; no dev input required.

0 peddroelm Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 another vote for BUG .. Druid shapeshift forms can attack with bear paws or .. a pair of human fists .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 manageri Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Even if it's a bug, at least it's one of the nice ones that you can work around by simply leaving a weapon slot empty. Not sure how I feel about this myself, though I'm erring on the side of exploit if it just mysteriously appeared with a patch with no apparent intent.
