As roddybug insists, I do seem to want a lot out of the latest rendition of the Ziroc's Finest HakPack Deluxe, now don't I? *grins* Still, I only really would like to see the three-tiered staff make an introduction and the gauntlets. If nothing else, those would be nice. The thing is, is there a way to have the glove graphics already available show up in the weapons category slots for left and right hands? If so, then one could actually wear the gauntlets AND bracers. Technically that should be possible if the gauntlets and bracers are of suitable physical size, but the gaming engine only allows for one or the other at the moment. (More than likely it is due to the way they are implemented in terms of gaming effects.)

I do still have to support the "completely unusual weapons" possibility as originated by someone else. Unique environments demand unique solutions, which is something Ziroc has done marvelously on. A rolling pin or a bowling pin as a club weapon would be something unnecessary, but completely in tune with how the UnderMountain might seek to challenge and confuddle those entering its veins. Besides, who says that Halaster himself isn't behind some of the stranger weaponry which has found its ways into the hands of the masses trying to kill you as you stroll through the sewers of Waterdeep?

Finally, as for newly created weapons being able to be specialized, wouldn't they have to be given the characteristic of a weapon type already in play? (exampli gratias: trident - under staff or spear, three-tiered staff - under flail or chained weapon, african throwing irons - under thrown weapons or handaxe, clawed fighting gauntlets - under kama *to give monks something special* or dagger or short sword, rolling pin and bowling pin AND rolled-up newspaper - under club weapon)
