Possible new feature: different hilt/blade damage

Yes, it would need lots of item/mechanics balance to avoid some weapons/weapon classes becoming useless.

Oh my god this is amazing. The things you can do with this! <3
Will be some careful balancing though.

blade does cut damage, hilt does blunt damage.  whats to get nub

[Grumbs]

i dun get it.

Looks like you would do some blunt damage with the shaft of the weapon rather than the same damage as the bladed end

Looks like a pretty neat feature, but it might be a bit of a nerf for polearms

[Tzar]

Aye ok

[Peasant_Woman]

Amazing. Seen this requested many many times and now it could become a reality.
I'd like to thank you cmp for everything you have done for this mod. Everything you touch turns into fulfilled hopes and amazing gameplay.

My only regret is that I have but one + to give.

[Wraist]

Go, go CMP awesomeness!

[SeQuel]

So the closer hit would be blunt damage?

Also for swords would it not matter since yah know it's a huge steel blade therefor it would always be cut?

[San]

I wonder how this will affect the short 1h cut weapons. It will be nice to have a special hilt/fist hitbox for that.

As long as the blunt damage on the hilt isn't over the top making it like an actual hilt bump rather than full damage.

Also, will this also apply to 2h/1h? I can't really see the hilt of a two handed or one handed weapon do full damage either, if anything it should be much less than even getting smacked across the face with a polearm's haft.

If you add different stats for leftswing rightswing overhead and stab. Would that spice up things?
Bias strikes with the "strong" arm, and extra power for overheads, esp for 2handed weapons?
Damage types that match the weapon.
example

Elegant Poleaxe:
Leftswing  :30 blunt
Rightswing:35 cut
Overhead  :40 cut
Stab         :26 pierce

Isnt this possible today with just changing some variables?
The rockpaperscissors mindgame would be harder, knowing ur opponents strengths would be an extra edge.

Buff 2h more?
I vote no.
