Pointy Shields
« on: February 10, 2012, 07:14:29 pm »
I was curious if spikes on objects (shields specifically, I kinda want to impale someone with one) effect weapon damage, at least in adventure mode. I figure there must be some pointy shield out there somewhere, and if not I'll see about making one in fortress mode. In the end all that matters is whether or not I can impale some goblins, making attacking with my shield finally have purpose.

Clearly, this represents six side-by-side wheelbarrows, as indicated by the right half of the icon.  The left half indicates they are carrying babies with hats in these wheelbarrows.

Presumably, they are lining up to dump them into the baby furnaces.

Currently, all the decorations are purely decorational.

Darn... I hope Toady considers adding something like this down the road. (Unless he already is, which wouldn't be too surprising...)

I think it would be possible to add in spiked shields though.

I find it funny that until now, no one (including myself) stopped to consider the absurdity of a submarine in which the crew cabin is filled with water and the crew is drowning when everything is working properly.

If toady made spiked decorations have an effect, imagine all of the deaths via socks that "menace with spikes".

It would be a fun addition that could affect wrestling.

Like trying to grab someone by the leg while they are wearing Iron leggings that menace with spikes, talk about ouchies.

Of course If used creatively, you could have an armor set which is ungrabable.  :D
