I like to experiment with the custom characters. And I was wondering something. Does unarmed (I call it fists) count as a weapon type? Ex: Blunt. Or does it not count at all? I was going to make a "Monk" or "Martal Artist" build.. Posts: 2 | Registered: Sunday, June 11 2006 07:00 |

A fist works as a weapon. I found out by accident when I sold all my weapons on my spellcaster intending to get some from the goblins. Blademaster increases the damage. However the amount never gets that high that you could use a fist through out the game. I think I got around 22 at blademaster 12 with blessing vs. Crain. Goblins were about 8 damage. Mad monks aren't the only ones that can give a fiesty slap of pain. [ Sunday, June 11, 2006 18:21: Message edited by: Randomizer ] Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I'm pretty sure that Melee Weapons skill increases your unarmed accuracy and damage (it does for monsters in BoA, anyway.) -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

A fist's base damage versus most weapons is so low that you will take significantly longer to kill high level monsters. I tried it out in A4 versus Crain and needed to buff up the fighter and continually heal him. I don't remember where in A4 I posted the exact damages.

The concept remains the same in all Avernum games. That part of the engine won't have been changed, The only difference is the special skills that affect damage. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Actually, since damage is part of the engine and A4 is built from Geneforge, not previous Avernums, it might very well have changed. —Alorael, who doubts that Jeff bothered to rewrite damage. Still, he could have. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |
