Teras Kasi Archive

I think that a new tier should be added to the terasi kasi skill tree. It would consist of ranged weaponry... like: ninja stars, or other various martial arts style ranged weaponry. Of course the devs would change the names of the weapons and the way they look to fit the star wars universe, which is fine. And as you go up the tree, you gain the ability to get different types f effects to put on your ranged weapons, such as: slowing your target (so melee can catch up to the marksmen), stun, reduce defense... etc.

Also, like how the pistol tree doesn't have a powerful melee attack whereby they can incapacitate any opponent with ease by striking them with the handle of their pistol.


Oh, wait...

That's one ability, not an entire line devoted to pistol handle bludgeoning techniques.

I'm kinda on your side, remember Murphy's Law of War #1:

Freindly fire ain't.

I wouldn't think a whole skill tree for this would be necessary. Maybe just a couple new weapons. Starts and darts for example. Maybe minimal damage but can force the target into a kneeling position with a successful hit or half their run rate for a lenght of time. Not something that would become a major part of Teras Kasi damage output. Just something to assist in getting close enough for their main attacks.

Just give TKA faster movement speed, a /stick command,and better defenses (especially a ranged defensive bonus for dodging), and you would have no need for TKA ranged abilities. Do thrown weapons really 'fit' in with an 'unarmed' art of combat?

Of course, thvibro-knucklers are still in the game, so anything is possible ... bleh ... the TKA professionis such a mess right now.

You throw a moldy piece of Jawa Bread at a chuba and miss

a chuba attacks you for 15 points of damage

You attempt to use Unarmed Lunge 2 on a chuba but miss

A chuba attacks you for 55 points of damage

You have been Incap'd.

Something tells me with the way things are going right now, a ranged weapon would mean little to nothing to improve our situation.

I doubt that'sa good idea.

1. We are not a ranged class.

2. Teras Kasi is not the art of throwing objects.

3. Teras Kasi is unarmed martial arts training...only. There is a reason for this, the very samereason the Rifleman profession does not have a tree training in the use of a rifle stock as a full fledged bluntmelee weapon and as a result gets to negate their extra damage from melee attacks.

4. Adding such a thing would inevitablymean losing something useful.

5. I know I'd be furious to see such a tree befoulingapure unarmedprofession. I'm angry enough at the idea of vibroknucklers as is.
