Equipment effecting unarmed combat?
« on: June 18, 2015, 07:10:33 pm »
Okay, so obviously equipment changes a lot about combat. But what I'm wondering, does equipment unarmed combat? I mean like, does a guy with bare hands do less damage than someone with steel gauntlets when punching? That'd make sense to me. If so, I could arm my martial artist in lighter leather layers and a bit of steel armour, including steel gauntlets, and boost his combat performance, as he's currently in all leather with leather gloves.

If any of them are made of fire, throw stuff, run, and think non-flammable thoughts.

Pretty sure I've seen a thread about this before and the answer was no, it doesn't.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

It's the kind of thing I can totally see Toady adding in the future, but in any released version unarmed combat effectiveness is not influenced in any way by the attacker's equipment.
