Nov. 10, 2013: Greatclub

I recently started a new character.  He's an incredibly strong beastial half-orc, and incredibly dumb (Intelligence 3!).

I was playing along the other day, and something kept bothering me.  I finally figured out what it was...here's a guy that's almost as dumb as a rock, yet he's wielding a greatsword with the skill of someone that was trained well.  And he's wearing a chain shirt, which should be beyond his capability to properly maintain.

I've decided I'm going to get him a set of hide armor (pretty much the only logical choice for someone of his mental caliber).  On the weapon, however, nothing should fit except a club.  And he's too big and strong to use a basic club.

So today I created a new weapon type: the greatclub.  It looks like a thick branch ripped off a tree, and will make the perfect weapon for this guy and (with some bone or rusted spikes/knobs) for countless ogres and giants.

This will get added to the game with the next hak update.  Yes, we just had one three days ago, so it'll likely be a couple weeks at least until I add this one (and anything else I think of for a hak update).

Here's a preview for y'all:

Love it!

Looks like something MJ's Alex should pick up too (to match his tuna fish)....
Might even make this a weapon of choice for my monk/druid... just seems to "fit" with the humble/nature will provide theme as well..... ...

Sweet beanies, ! This is proof-positive of why I don't play anything else - too much goodness to ignore!

This is totally the most perfect just-rip-it-off-the-tree club for a primitive!

..Yooooooo, that's cool as heck.

I've been testing it with my half-orc Vulgaro, and I'm really liking this.  As of now, you can get it in the latest hak update.

This, coupled with the new totems, makes me want to try out a class which has never really interested me much: the Barbarian! *.*
