So I was browsing the Adventure section of the wiki...
« on: September 20, 2015, 06:07:24 pm »

I was considering to start Adventure mode, and I was doing my reading, then I came across this:



Now I got this idea of creating a Jackie Chan character, and I can't get it out from my head. No armor, no weapons, just pure martial arts, with all the points in Observer, or Swimmer, or whatever. Any advice?

Well yeah, but then it doesn't go with OP's "no weapons" rule, or "pure martial arts" which as far as I know are all either hand-to-hand or done using specialised tools.

I've never seen Jackie use traditional weapons except for possibly "Who Am I". But that restriction can change.

Can confirm Misc Object User hilarity. Half the fun of old adventure mode was finding new things to kill people with; personal favorites include backpacks, severed toes, and leaves (which, if I remember properly, are razor-sharp and can also be thrown like ninja stars.)

Thrower is hilarious too; there's the story of the guy who killed a bronze colossus by chucking a fluffy wambler at its head, and I've personally assassinated large numbers of people by blowing their brains out with dirt.

Now I'm definitely playing Jackie Chan. Once this month is over. :P Piled up with schoolwork..

Throwing stuff you found?

What if you found a weapon someone was holding when you tackled them?


*rapid footsteps that sound like gunfire*
*a grey and black blur zooms up beside you*
*a gauntleted hand snaps out and catches your blade mid-swing*
*you're airborne*
*unarmed*
*it feels like you got hit by a steel minecart*
*you can hear your buddies screams get further and further away*
*not your problem any longer*

Chests are fine too, and probably easier to find. I once killed like 20 people with a chest, stuffing more bodies and random objects into it to increase weight.

Your hand-to-hand exploits will be the stuff of legend, OP. Legend!

...in fact, that sounds like hella fun.

Make sure, that whatever you do, don't fight beastfolk vampires unarmed. They just DON'T DIE.

Not sure if dying of old age is an honor or a shame for weaponmasters. On the one hand, it means they never got the opportunity to die in glorious battle. On the other hand, it means nothing could beat them in glorious battle.
