I was serious about khukris! I used to luff my bone-hilted ebon blade.

I was actually sort of serious about pigstickers, there are only like 2 of decent materials I can think of, one is unique and the other is damn near that too. (tanso/mithril nothing better) and hell only like 1-2 worse then that that are like wood/steel.

I was more making a comentary about the stuff that you wanted on them, namely, the cold iron-deadly wrath. Having a few more pigstickers around would not be so bad, but ones like that would make playing an elf almost impossible. That is, unless they used a certain spell. Still, that wouldn't solve all of the problems.

One weapon doesn't make a race impossible to play..Being weak to approximately 30% of the weapons in the game however does pretty much ruin your day *cough* centaurs *cough*. :lol:

P.S. Neither Elf race is weak against deadly wrath..Centaurs are. Elves are weak against negative energy weapons, the ones with the life drain messages. So, yes, a cold iron deadly wrath two-handed pigsticker would be overpowered. Oh, and another point, to my knowledge(I wouldn't mind an IMM saying if this is right or wrong) take a sprite for example, they're weak against blunt damage and iron, but a cold iron blunt weapon doesn't like wtfpwn them to my knowledge weaknesses don't stack.

A cold iron blunt weapon will wtfpwn a sprite.

The 50-50 code works like that. First weakness is the material, the other the attack type(blunt, negative energy, flaming bite, etc).

Certain attack types with certain materials stack for a full weakness(flaming bite and flame material for example, when flaming bite with energy material will only go for 50% weakness).

Cold iron battlewhip with blunt damage for the reach.

The subtype's almost sole use is for leveling, so just a non-limited, store-bought steel, or even iron, version would fill the gap nicely. Let the solo-minded priests/warlocks fight over the limited supply of good material pole-maces, but let the poor newbies have some to level with.

QFT.

There was a time not so long ago when anyone who needed a reaching weapon could head over a pick one up for a plat or two -- even if it were iron or steel, it's enough to get the satisfaction of an attack of two behind a pet. Now, solo leveling with a priest or warlock is exceedingly and unnecessarily time-consuming.

Edit: After shopping some more, I found the bows, but I still stand by my axe statement. MORE AXES! Heh.

There are enough axes in the game, seriously.

Code:

[HP:100%] [ME: 92%] [PE:100%]
> get bone che
You get a bone-hilted ebon blade from an ammo chest.

[HP:100%] [ME: 92%] [PE:100%]
> lo bo
A bone-hilted dagger lies here.
This push knife is a medium-sized dagger made of ivory.

It's not even a khukri anymore! :cry:
