Add new morningstar!

Add new morningstar!

I love morningstars.  They're the most badass medieval weapon ever.   Swords?  Pah, they're a dime a dozen.  But when there's a warrior with a morningstar, you immediately know:  He's a badass.  But!  The morningstar has one fatal weakness:  It's unbalanced.   

I propose a change. 

Le change, part un: les stats

The addition of a new, smaller, lighter morningstar.  With reduced damage, of course.  I'm thinking something like this:

Light Morningstar

weight: 2.2
difficulty: 9
speed rating: 96
weapon length: 82
thrust damage: 0 pierce
swing damage: 28 pierce
slots: 1
Bonus against Shield

I took out the extraneous "weapon length".  I don't know why that's included twice...

But I think this looks entirely reasonable.  I based it on the stats for the mace, a common archer/xbow sidearm.  It would be the only bonus against shield weapon that wasn't unbalanced, I think.  This may be an issue, but I think it would be a cool addition, and still very balanced with the game.  The mace has knockdown and isn't unbalanced. 

Le change, part deux: les modeles

I think the light morningstar should use the current morningstar's model, and a new model should be made for the current morningstar's stats.

The head of the current morningstar does not belay it's monstrous abilities to shred through foes.  It should be twice as big.  Then it will definitely LOOK unbalanced too.  And more badass.   


So that is it, my little request.  It would be really really cool if it happened, but I know that most requests get completely ignored, so really this is just a dream.  Thank you for sharing it with me.   

you realise a morningstar is a GIANT mace so techniquely we already have 2 smaller morningstars
that being said im always up for new things so +1 for me

A 1handed Morningstar which can be put to 2h mode would be aweosme.Of course it should be even a little smaller than the normal morningstar.

Balanced morningstar is against phsyics.
There is no way a weapon like that could be balanced

Nonsense. Weld another morningstar to the base of the first morningstar. Your new double morningstar is balanced now, at least along one axis.

If you want perfectly balanced morningstar, weld 300 morninstars to the base of first morningstar. Now you have a ball of morningstars which is balanced by default, since it's a ball. Repeat to infinity to improve balance.

Mace is balanced too... And I'm proposing a smaller morningstar that does less damage and is balanced.

I like the current morningstar, except it's color It looks bronze, change it to iron or something lol

It is inculed twice because it is twice as important as anything else, DUH!

[OpenPalm]

The proposed change would not affect the current morningstar, except to make it have a bigger, more badass model.

I don't think this is necesarry, I'd instead suggest buffing the morningstar onehander mode and allowing you to change to 1h with X, I mean look at that poor mode, it's literally slower than the long maul.
