edit.
nvm. I just failed to see the point to argue.
what? i did not see your first post. and why argue? i just said the facts and my opinion.
edit.: also enlightened should get rapiers. basically swords wich can just stab, pommel strike and flat side strike.
I could help outline these actually, there's
sabre's-which are like rapairs but do have a the blade on the side made for opening arteries and blinding opponents, so replace flat side strike with shallow slashing attack
fencing rapiers:Which are the more common stab/parry type, there is no pommel to strike, and trust me if you slapped with one of these you'd break the blade, so they'd only really have a stabbing attack, that would be deep and quick but with very little entry point.
lastly
dueling Gun-grips:A newer type of rapier, which is a cross of sabres and fencing rapiers, they have a triagonal blade, which has 3 shallow cutting surfaces, a cut that's about half as deep as a fencing rapier but due to the shape of the blade inflicts far more damage, and they have a strong hand guard for really vicious hit's, backhands, and to protect the hand, but since you can't have weapons work as armor too, just give them a good bashing attack about akin to a solid punch.
actually sabres are NOT a type of rapier (or is it similar to it.), although the famous pirate cutlass is a sabre. hey! make a cutlass! it's basically a weaker machete with the option to stab!
and i was not talking about the fencing one, i talked about the so called "gentleman's sword" basically a harder rapier that was in use *trying to remember* i think through the renessaince era, when shakespeare was still alive. it is a REAL rapier, not the shit that now passes around as "fencing foil" it was hard, tough, and you could pommel slap someone, or at least HILT HIT them. and they actually could flat slap people. it was not guaranteed to work, but most often it felt like a whip... a very HEAVY WHIP. made from STEEL or SLADE. D for Dorf!
edit: some RPing from my fortress.
Kel athelkist was bored. it was his turn for guard duty. he just got his hands on this great new military rifle. it was an FN FAL with a scope he got himself from a binocular. he also noticed that it was well-crafted, and that the wood handle was engraved, surely Elana's handyjob. he'll have to thank her someday, maybe give her a gift. Agish has certainly made some fine goblets, bracelets and rings. yes. perhaps an engagement ring was to be the next gift he will give to his lover. he heard the sound of boots on the clay of the catwalk. he turned. it was Yuri. he had in his hands a superiorly crafted mosin-nangant with a sniper scope. the wooden furniture was engraved. there was a name engraved in the furniture. it read "Mary". Yuri was VERY attached to his gun.
"some cold night,eh?" said Yuri
"dunno, since i got this robe, it did not matter if the night was cold or hot, i always felt pleasant." replied Kel
"lucky bastard. i still have this dog leather armor. trade?" proposed Yuri.
Kel laughed.
"you just laugh, bastard. hey, guess what i've got!"
Kel stopped laughing, the smile still on his face "what, you vodka-drinking son of a bitch?"
Yuri grinned. "some cigars, the best vintage."
"gimme!" said Kel out loud and grabbed a cigar.
Yuri smiled. "need a light?" and pulled his lighter from his pocket.
Kel took the lighter, laughed a bit and lit the cigar. "ooooohhh, yeah, that's the stuff."
"yup, we sure make some fine...." the rest of the sentence was silenced by the loud BANG of a firearm, and Yuri's head was no more.
Kel stood there for a second, shocked. then he dived to the ground. he then crawled into the fort, sounding the alarm.
Then all the hell broke loose. there was a loud crack of gunfire, as if someone fired an AK in full-auto. Kel put the bayonet on the barrel of his rifle, expecting it to be needed. then he realized something. the screaming came from inside the fortress aswell. they couldn't. they could not breach the first line of defense without some heavy ordnance. Kel ignored his squadleader's order and ran for the command centre. and there he saw Bjorn. the bastard has pulled the levers and destroyed them. Bjorn suddenly became aware of his presence and has pulled out a weird looking pistol. he yelled "FOR REINHEI-" but was silenced by the bang of Kel's FAL. then kel ran to the second gate. although it was open it was better fortified, with a catwalk above from wich the soldiers could shoot. the path was littered with corpses, both those of civilians and those of the minutemen. Kel dived for cover behind a wall. and then he saw. in the lake of blood next to him lay Elana. he stared into her face. so beutiful, so gentle. and now it was pale, her bright eyes open and staring blankly at him. Kel bursted into tears. he cried for couple of seconds. then he straightened his face. and his feelings changed from misery to anger. he closed Elana's eyes, and kissed her hands for the last time. he pšeeked around the corner and saw some of the invaders cautiosly approach his position. they wore gasmasks, trench coats, helmets and heavy iron-clad boots. Kel closed his eyes. then he opened them and charged into the enemy. in a sort of trance he dealed headshot after headshot, killing his foes. he had recieved some very serious wounds, but he did not care. he than saw an invader, clearly the leader equipped with a bracer and a trench mace. Kel shot blindly towards him, but was out of ammo. the enemy saw that, and took his opprotunity to charge. Kel raised his weapon, bayonet ready in defyiance and charged towards his enemy. he missed. he only ripped the fabric of the asailant's trench coat. his enemy roared "REINHEIT OVER ALL!!!" and struck Kel over his head. Kel fell to the floor, the cold of the clay brick on his cheeks. He made one last defyiant act and stabbed the Reinheit captain with his bayonet. directly in his groin. the attack has opened an artery. Kel closed his weary eyes, eager to join Elana in the afterlife.
