new motif - craftsman?

Lynx7386 · February 2017

Just saw the post about wanting player usable torches and it brought back an idea I had a long time ago - a crafting motif that causes weapons and such to look like various tools.

For example:
1h axe: logging axe (same as used when chopping wood nodes)
2h axe: mining pick (" ")
1h mace: lit torch
2h mace: sledge hammer
1h sword: butcher's cleaver
2h sword: grain scythe?
Dagger: butter knife
Shield: maybe a barrel lid or frying pan
Staffs: shovel or rake

Clothing appearances for the motif could include things like Chef apron/blacksmith leathers, bags and satchels attached to the belt or leggings, so on and so forth.

For lols maybe

Please shield that look like addition on gauntlet so it would look like you run without shield at all, but your left gauntlet looks bigger.

For roleplaying, actually. Though it'd be fun to fight undead with a torch

I like that idea too, maybe just a metal brace on the left arm to deflect with

Different staff type ideas:

Restoration staff: broom
Inferno staff: pitchfork
Lightning staff: rake
Ice staff: shovel

I vote yes. This would be awesome.

Edit: Heavy armor could be blacksmithing clothes, light could be chef's clothes and medium could be... Umm, woodworker maybe? Or maybe some kind of laborer's clothes.

Perhaps it could be just the way it is for collecting non-combat clothing. Thieving
While thieving you have the chance of looting things such as finger-less gloves, travelers boots, and the like. These are all wearable apparel, but are all level 1 and have no stat bonuses.

Perhaps adding your described items to a loot table in thieving would also be an alternative?

But a crafting motif would be so much better

Yaaaas

I need this

Really cool idea. But a lit torch for the 1H mace? I would go for just a torch on that one. Maybe a torch with an oil lamp?

My Templar would totally rock a Pitchfork and Broom.
