Hey guys.
Just wanted to comment on the current issue with both using and crafting batons. There is three types of batons using different types of base items.
- Baton M (Base Item Maces)
- Baton C (Base Item Clubs)
- Baton MS (Base Item Morningstar)
Of all three, two of them are finnesable, Baton M and Baton C. And from these two only Baton M counts as a Baton when it comes to perks. Baton C its considered a Martial Art Weapon. At the moment Baton M feels extremely underwhelming due to its really low dice damage and, as far as I can see, lack of utility over any other item.
As for the Shields, it seems slightly absurd that the “Tower Shield”, even if its a force shield, weights 45 lbs. Shields themselves are already in a strange place due to requiring a lot of points of investment as if it was another weapon making you use 200 of your points instead of just a 100 if you dual-wielded the same type of weapon.
So please make the weight on shields much less and perhaps revisit their current power as to make them slightly more attractive and balanced.
