Zen Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Right now there is no way to specialize in spears, no occupation or trait will give you bonus Xp. New trait would be similar to brawler but it would give +1 to long blades and spears ( cost 6-8 points ) Edited December 1, 2020 by Zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrailerParkThor Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Just wondering what the lore reasoning behind a skill in spears would be? I think the only logical trait would be Javelin Star or something. Similar to Baseball Player, there is a logical reason a normal person in 90s Kentucky knows how to handle a spear well. Warrior just doesn't make sense to me, but I like the idea. WildCnt and Zen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) You got people like HEMA practitioners who fight with medieval weapons ( just check wiki or you tube ), viking and feudal japan enthusiast. I know quiet few people who do train with bows,swords and spears. Its more of exotic hobby but it does make sense. Logic is not always fully applicable in games. If you think logically would chef be good at fighting with short blades? Sure he knows how to cut veggies but its completely different then fighting a person.

BentNose Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 There is a problem of setting here. '94 was a bit more limiting in terms of niche's and general public knowledge. Warrior, Hema, martial artist, all of these probably wouldn't work so well in context. You are right in that we don't have a good focus on spear though. I'd probably give it to farmers though. Pitchforks, shovels, cattle prods. I think they have the most appropriate experience in this case to get them started on the spear path.

TrailerParkThor Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Good point, would be fun for RPing as neckbeards and weebs haha. I do still think Javelin Star or something would be a fun addition that could serve the same function while being more widely applicable to different builds. 8 hours ago, BentNose said: I'd probably give it to farmers though. Pitchforks, shovels, cattle prods. I think they have the most appropriate experience in this case to get them started on the spear path. Honestly agree with this as well. Adding both a Hobby and an Occupation that can give Spear specialization would be great. Pitchforks should definitely be added to the game as well. Hand Forks already exist, and with the skill and animations for Spear now fully implemented, there's a big opportunity for devs to easily add Pitchforks and expand the spear tree some more.
