47201, Bloodsteep
Posted by KrunkTheOrc on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Bug Board reminded me of a request I've been meaning to make for a while. I'm sure my posting doesn't garner a bunch of "ohh yea, orcs need more help" feelings, but...

Bloodsteep makes sense to me to be targettable, or at the very least able to use on a main, or dual wielded weapon. For fairly obvious reasons mainhand wielding a bloodsteep-able weapon isn't squarely in the orc wheelhouse, but having an offhand that is steeped does. Unfortunately that can be difficult bordering on impossible depending on your primary wield. Makes mechanical sense to me that you could pick any weapon in your bag of holding and stab yourself with it though.

Just a thought.

I always rather assumed that if you're busy stabbing yourself with a weapon, you're probably going to want to do it with your primary hand, and not risk accidental more-grievous wounds.

From a mechanical standpoint, you can just wield the dagger/sword, then switch back to whatever primary wield you want, and dual wield from there on.

Give Krunk what he wants, but

Offhand gives you a -10% to -15% to chance.

And comes with some manner of increased risk to a bad stab?
47205, Like a 1% chance of suicide? XD

That would be horrible... but hilarious to watch.

"From a mechanical standpoint, you can just wield the dagger/sword, then switch back to whatever primary wield you want, and dual wield from there on."

Practically speaking, noremove weapons are a sort of must have for orcs. So is pretty massive +str. Often Krunk would have to rem all, wear demon pendants, rem demon pendants, wear all, bloodsteep, reshuffle weapons to make this happen... Every time. Think of it a bit like being able to charge weapon on a wielded weapon. Something that you can already do, but in a less tedious way.
