Spike armor

[kirosnakti1]

i've read about Spiked Armor but can not imagen a way to fight with it besides grabbling or tackling someone. how do you think its done?

 

[StreamOfTheSky]

It's really up to the character to describe...

Charging shoulder slam?
Jumping wicked intentioned "what's up bro" chest bump?
Sidestepping a thrust attack by an enemy and pivoting your spiky armor towards his face?

Whatever you want it to be.

haha well thanks for giving me some idea on how to use it

Yeah, i usually picture the shoulder slam or forearm smash. Look at some of the pictures of spiked armor, their wicked design can be pretty inspiring.

Also a nod to Thimbledorf Pwent for Rocking Out in spiked armor. Who needs to "attack" when you can just treat the battle field like the pit at a Slayer concert.

If you have a KEWL #1 Ace DM, get masterwork armor with masterwork spikes. Then enchant spikes with the Dancing enchantment: uppon command, they'll magically detach from the armor and fight for you...kind of like the spheres from the Phantasm movies.

fighting with spiked armor (includes razors) is much like a martial art - knee spike, forearm razor, punch blade, bladed boot kick, elbow spike.

Overlooked: You are able to fight with a 2-handed weapon and also use the armor spikes as an off hand attack.

...which is extra handy when using a polearm.

In terms of flavor, I often imagine it like low-complication Muay Thai. Lots of striking with joints and body checks.

underlooked....it can be used as a off hand attack but it does not give you two wep style as a feat...its also considered a light weapon and you cant be disarmed.
