#17429, "Two hands - question and possible edge"


          

If you're holding a shield you can't use another held type item or a pen. Would it be possible to wield these things? If not (balance issues I understand) could their be an ambidexterous edge that would make this possible?

#17430, "Definitely not an edge."

It's way way way way way ass too much coding work to be an edge. They're by definition fast and easy.

Getting this right is more on the scale of more coding time than a complete class set of edges, and also happens to be way less fun to do.

As far as whether you can sucker Zulghinlour into going back to trying to put that into the normal wield/wear code, that might be another story. I ain't touching it.

Been super-swamped with work & new child on the way.

I actually made some progress on it a couple weeks ago, then accidently erased the code I hadn't checked in and gave up

It's on the list...really...

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Rapid prototyping to me...
