[QUOTE="Dirigible, post: 1388823, member: 12631"] Hmm... I could see this working with some Scorpion-esque (from Mortal Kombat) climbing spikes and retractable cords... a pair of whips, even... or someone trained to 'grab the wind'. Actual immovable rods are a bit [i]outre[/i] for my campaign. Hmmm... retractable, spring loaded trident for long-range poking, limb-trapping and pole vaulting. That sounds workable. Perhaps he double teams with a big guy with a weighted net, for Roman gladiatorial goodness. I should perhaps mention, the central PC dual-wields a pair of glavelots (bastard-sword sized falchions... he's like a pair of armour-piercing scissors...), which is in part what gave me the combat-gimmicky idea. What else comes to mind... * A knife-fighter with a pair of unsual daggers, perhaps a sword-breaker and a stiletto; one to disarm, the other to get in close and puncture an eyeball or a jugular. Kind of like the slow-blade shield fighting in Dune. *A gang of what appear to be filthy peasents... deadly-skilled with their scythes, grain flails and sickles. Something like the Gleaners, from Book of the Righteous. * Boomerangs with ropes on them! Throw them in an arc and they drape the ropes right around the enemy, then just pull them tight to wrap 'em up. * A really [I]hard [/I] barbarian who carries an oil-soaked wicker and wood shield that he sets alight before the fight (after a liberal application of asbestos war paint, thanks to the village shaman). Make shield bashes that much nicer. * The ever-popular wrestler wearing spiked or bladed armour. [/QUOTE]
