1 slot for items that are only held

[Warcat]

I think it makes sense that items you can only hold should only take 1 slot. If they're not something you put on your back/waist, then its not taking up any space, why have it take 2 slots?

This is actually quite a logical argument.  Good point, I'll +1 it.

Even making them 0 slot will not be unbalancing, so I agree.
It should be coupled with flagging most of the polearms and 2H weapons "cannot sheath".

No, it would be. This would make unsheathable weapons the backup melee weaps of choice for archers/xbows and such. Run to pew-pew spot with big-uge weapon in hands, drop it there, pew-pew, then pick it up when you need it. The idea behind slots was to eliminate this.

Well, I don't see the harm in making current "can't sheath" weapons 1 slot. They are pathetic backup weapons. On the other hand, I also don't see the need, so +- 0 from me.

Why not, indeed. Archers will longspear or pikes ftw. Be wary cav, there's hidden spears on the ground. xD

Haha perhaps a different route to take instead of the 1 slot war bow idea. I can imagine that insta pike hurting

Sure, I want to see them picking it up in a hurry when the see a 2H/poleaxe guy charging at them...
If it is on the ground they cannot run with it. They will find it hard to quickly change locations, so this only work if you camp one spot. If someone is willing to go through this hassle and not have their melee weapon available on them, be my guest.
