Well, unless you're Lemmy..

Speaking of that, any decision on the effects of attacking without a weapon?

Squishy human fists, unless you have an ability.

I meant mechanics-wise, as it would be silly to have the exact same mechanics as used by weapon-wielders.  Zero damage would be fine, as would half damage, as would normal damage but no effects from weapon mods, say.

It would be like attacking with a weapon sans any mods. In other words, normal damage with no way of enhancing it with mods.

I'll lend you my bayonet? If ya want? IC if you don't want it (since IC I'd be like 'poor bastard hasn't got a weapon, let's give 'im a knife') just say some BS about fists being ur Psyche.
Oh wait it's known that you're weak AF apart from being more cunning than a fox who's just been appointed professor of cunning at Oxford University, so I guess you could just tell me 'fuck off don't need ur help yah fuckin yank.'

Anyways I'll give you my bayonet, if you want it.

At least you'll be able to kill yourself if you need to.

Man that sounds dark out of context.

We have infinite respawns, so killing yourself if you get horribly injured actually makes sense.

Out of context, it seems that I am basically saying something along the lines of 'you try and hold the door, make sure to save one bullet for yourself' etc etc

Or you could, you know, not die. Which is what I am aiming for.

Or you could just kill yourself and save everyone the trouble of using tons a valuable medical resources just to stabilize you, when you already are probably gonna die anyways, and you've got, like I said, infinite respawns with essentially no consequences (that we know of) soooooo....

You can't loan me a bayonet, weapons are welded to their users, to the point where you can't put them down even if you want to.  If it's part of your weapon, you can't give it to me.

If it's a seperate item that you spent time making, then I could take it.

However.. if it's a weapon mod I would also not be able to use it, not having a magic weapon.  So I'd probably take it, and break it or throw it away, because Lemmy's a jerk.  Same if it's an ordinary weapon, a separate item you made.

So knock yourself out if you want to give him something, just don't expect me to use it, or him to keep it.  Breaking it in front of its creator for cheap lulz is about all I'd expect.

I only plan on getting and making things in order to solve problems with them.  Until there's an actual problem, I don't intend to get anything, particularly not stuff that does nothing but give stats... if I'd wanted stats, I'd have kept XP tracking and taken the 30 or so extra points I'd have available.

Stuff like 'Grab this rope so you can climb back into the boat', not 'take this knife so you can kill monsters with it.'  I'll take a look at the monsters first before deciding how to kill them, thank you.

Roughly the response I expected.
Figured I wouldn't be able to share my weapons either, but figured I'd make the offer.

I seems that Devastator wants Lemmy to tackle problems using his ingenuity and without using handouts or powers.

(It) seems that Devastator wants Lemmy to tackle problems using his ingenuity and without using handouts or powers.
It's also that I don't feel most of the stuff that would come would be useful.  I mean, you gave him a nice attack boosting mod, but using it would bring his ability to kill stuff up to 'bad'.  It looks good on paper, like you gave him something to help him deal with the enemies that will murder him horribly and possibly fight back for the first stage, but I don't see it as that.

I see it as something that will be useless next stage, and will make me spend my actions this time around trying to do something I'm bad at, with limited, if any success.. so, a trinket, really.

That is one reason my core class stats are so high.. More rolls. Nighttime for me, so I'll be back on the morn.
