[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6287977, member: 19675"] Let's start with basics. I understand he's a Pit Fighter, so the spiked chain is totally appropriate. But it would seem to me that an Almighty Janitor would typically be proficient with some kind of nondescript weapon. Often, it will be something they handle everyday as a noncombatant. Years ago, I did a female paladin who came from a rural background. Her father was a fisherman, and as his only child, she learned to fish with him, becoming proficient with spears, tridents, and nets. She grew unusually large for her family- even among the boys- and soon was too big for the small boats they used. So they apprenticed her out to a mason, where she learned the hammer and pick. Those, then, became her weapons. So, I'd think about the kinds of things Skrag handles often that might serve as a weapon. Look at many Jackie Chan movies, and you'll see him kick butt with brooms and mops- just staves with a funny end. Kitchens are full of deadly weapons, ranging from oversized knives to meat cleavers and tenderizers. At least one [I]Iron Chef Japan[/I] challenger used a blade nearly 2' long and 6" at the hilt. See also [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChefOfIron"]Chef of Iron.[/URL] If you want humor, reskin a bludgeoning weapon as stale French bread, as was done in Cheech & Chong's [I]Corsican Brothers.[/I] Does he serve food? Perhaps he sharpened the edges of some of the trays, and can go "Captain America" on his opponents. You might have to go Warden for that one- I THINK that's the class that has powers that let you use ranged throwing weapons over and over again. [/QUOTE]
