Arms - What Weapon Type?
« on: March 10, 2010, 12:43:42 pm »
Ok, so if I want to chop off someone's arm and beat them to death with it, what skill does it use? I assume maces but confirmation would be nice. Thanks!

Proper English will make people take you more serious.

In order to improve the universe's frame rate, we must all throw rocks into volcanoes and then do absolutely nothing, worldwide, for a week, to take pressure off pathfinding.

It uses either hammer or mace skill because I hope that someones arm doesn't have swords or spears for bones.

When I was wielding fallen companions corpses as weapons I got a LOT of pierces for some reason.  Sadly never a stuck in corpse though.

I'm not sure if it gives experience for anything really. If anything then hammerer.

All you have to do is use the arm to beat down a few wolves and see which experience goes up.

It uses wrestling for all improvised weapons, as far as I know.

All improvised weapons either train wrestling or no skill (I'm not entirely sure).  If they use a particular skill, then it's wrestling.  No other skills are used, as all improvised weapons (from a clump of sand to a granite floodgate to a drunkard's corpse) are lumped into the same category.

The only skill I remember training while hitting people with random objects was Armor User, and that's just because I was making an action while wearing armor.
