I've got it! The perfect solution! Give all TKA's a BFG. Who cares about fists now?

I would accept anything, but I want this more than anything else. I play the geeky tabletop RPG... and thus a I have an Arms & Equipment Guide. This book has everything, Land & air speeders, to droids. But anyway,


I want this :


Palandrix Personal Stun Gaunlets


Weapon type: Melee


Proficiency Group Simple Weapons


Avaliablity: Prevalent


can be made in any size....I'd rather have these than vibros... =)

No weapons at all but our fists(claws for Trandoshans) and feet. I want to be a viable unarmed profession just like the description said I would be. I don't want to continue playing an armed unarmed profession.

The problem I see with many of the choices here is flavor. By talking bout nunchaku, escrima sticks, throwing stars.. you are making Teras Kasi into a very literal Asian style martial artist, which it isn't.


If we did have weapons, beyond VK's.. they should be more exotic and science fantasy in nature. Like:


monomolecular filament slicewhip - a single molecule thick strand that cuts though anything.. (could have increased range, armor piercing, but slow speed - you have to be careful with it)


razorclaws - polycarbonate blades that spring from fingertips (slower than VK's, but better range)


etc.. there were a few I think I saw that were cool.. stun gloves and the mask that adds to intimidate.


All I'm saying is that if we have weapons at all, they should be very esoteric, and not stop on any other professions specailty.

  • Brass Knuckles

  • Slim Boxing Gloves (like those cool black gloves boxers will wear when practicing)

  • Combat Wrist Wraps (I kind ofexpected things likeSteel Reinforced Gloves would do this, but they don't...)

  • Different high-end Knucklers, with different damage types/abilities, such as fire, electricity, etc.

  • Claws (like Vega in Street Fighter)

I don't think we should really have weapons since we are unarmed. But since you want suggestions....

The Vibroknucklers don't even look like knucklers at all. They look more like the Alaskan kitchen knife (the name slips my mind). If we did have a weapon I think some brass knuckles would look cool. I think a possible fix be to make our fists do more damage and maybe at Master be given a brass knuckle type weapon which could pierce armor. Seems reasonable.

i dunno what a kama is but it sounds good


throwing stars


I think its called a bola or bolo or something but you throw it at someones legs and it wraps around them and the person falls over.


spiked gauntlets would be neat!



some other cool hand-to-hand stuff would be nice

I realize that we are are supposed to be an unarmed class. But tell me, who here DOESN'T use Knucklers?


Yes, I would rather not use anything, but you just can't pass up the damage the Knuckler gives you.


My point is, since were already here (using weapons), we might as well come up with some new ones.


Either that or make pure unarmed more attractive.

i forgot, maybe we should move the skills from meditate since most dont do anything anyway and replace it with a weapons tree where they can include things like vibrstaves, claws (katars), numbchucks (or even sword chucks!!)



well pretty much every elite and hybrid needs more weapons so bluh
