Title: Remove shield mode for Katana.
Post by: Thomek on June 23, 2012, 05:25:45 pm
Totally unhistorical.

Samurais didn't use shields.

Katana should be 2h only, or perhaps have secondary 1h mode, but always without shield.

Or just remove shield mode for all the 2h, nobody uses them anyway.

Morningstar with shield is sort of fun and should stay. Also, :style:

Plenty of people using ie. morningstar+shield on horse.

there are plenty of 1 handed katana attacks. sure its designed as 2h, but doesnt mean you cant use it 1h with a huge penalty to damage

The Goedendag 1h mode was removed. Why? It was not op or game breaking. Katana 1h mode should stay.

I've never even seen anyone use a katana with a shield, is this even a problem?

Nobody uses it with a shield, but the animations without it (holding with one hand, striking with two) are more realistic than the 2h-animations. You don't want to look like an underdeveloped version of a GS-user, do you?

If u read closely i dont want to change animations, just make it unusable with shield.

In big manly European hands the katana is just another saber with a horrible handguard.  Don't see a reason why they wouldn't use it with a shield.

Make all characters spawning with a katana be 20% shorter and lose 3 STR to recognize them as asian?

Yes of course. Do it for estetichal reasons.. and introduce 1h mode without shield for nasty trickery.

+1 katana 1h secondary mode with penalty or whatever, it'd still be cool.

personally I don't see many players that use a shield + katana combo but I don't see it as a big deal when I do come across them.

Don't listen to Thomek, this is just the first step in his plan for DUAL WIELD KATANA.

Good god, for this reason alone I would change my build completely. I would LOVE to be able to alter between one handed and two handed on morningstar, katana, long sword and bastard sword (are there any more?). Perhaps even give some one handed weapons a two handed mode?

Sorry if this comes across as derailing!

You should look into the Military Sickle, Fighting Axe, and Langes Messer. They're all 1 handed weapons with an alt 2 hand mode. (The cudgel also has this  :P)

Katana with shield is historically inaccurate.

Katanas in M&B are foreign weapons imported from a strange, far away country. Why should a local knight not use one with a shield?
