Make Short Falchion a 0 slot weapon

[Huey Newton]

I've given this some thought and I propose the short falchion become 0 slots.
All of the 0 slot weapons right now are really only good for blocking and maybe getting lucky with a knockdown with the tiny hammer.
I hardly even play on my archer character, but when I do I use longbow and 2 bodkins and feel that there should be one viable 0 slot weapon.
This thing is shit as it stands as a 1 slot weapon.

Short Falchion
weapon length: 61
weight: 1
difficulty: 4
speed rating: 104
weapon length: 61
thrust damage: 0 pierce
swing damage: 30 cut
slots:


I honestly don't know why this, of all weapons, was added to cRPG when it has no practical use.
Noone uses it except for gimmick high agi characters.

Making it 0 slots would increase its use and give it a reason to exist.

I don't think it would be overpowered. It is fast yes, but the speed rating given to these weapons (104 in this case) is the speed rating if you have 100 wpf in 1her and thats after you subtract wpf penalties.
Not that many archers have enough 1h wpf to give this weapon its full 104 speed.
On top of that, 61 length.
It's short.

Besides it almost looks like this preserved archer sidearm from 14th century? I think

Make it happen please even though this really in no way will affect me.

At 0 slots, it would be comparable to the hand axe with a little bit more length without the shield breaking properties.

At 1 slot, one would rather acquire a mace or pick weapon if it were to be that short. 30 cut also isn't particularly strong.

It would still be the best 0 slot 1h, though, so increasing the price by 500-1500 would suffice to act as a premium sidearm and make hand axe a money effective alternative.

Yeah sounds good with sans cost increase.

[Tot.]

No. Unless you make 1 quiver per person max (which should be the case anyways).

[Sarpton]

I approve this idea.

what?

[Miwiw]

It is longer than any other 0 slot weapon, used by an archer... Pickaxe 52, Hammer 40, Handaxe 48. Only the Torch and Khyber Knifer are longer but they are useless.

I don't think that it should be 0 slot as the speed is quite high and the dmg is fine as well, so it could easily be used as a main weapon.

Btw 1 quiver of arrows is enough, just go a build with some melee.

Also, torch is 0-slot since it's unsheathable

[PanPan]

They should double the amount of Arrows and limit 1 quiver each Person.

[Rebelyell]

hand axe is bad ass

31 cut and 104 speed when it is masterwork

[Frell]

I think buffing polearms will fix this problem




A quiver isnt just a sack btw
