Can we get a Hand to Hand Skill Line

Lab3360 · December 2018

No weapons. Just hands and Feet knees Elbows and Headbutt and with knock backs, interrupts and maybe a slam for ulti.

No need for interlocking animation. Could be strike based animation only with some channels.

Not everyone in Elder Scrolls fight with wespons, so it should not be lore breaking. It would be nice to get this in the game. Would be a fresh combat style completely different from any other class and would create a much needed dynamic.

There could be gear designs specific to this type of physical damage or magikal.

Develop a special skill line similar to some guild skills like Psyjiic, Fighters Guild, etc,.

I'm strongly against new classes and more in favor of skill lines. This keeps veteran players engaged with characters they already invested in, and minimizes the grind to make the character viable.

That said I really really want an unarmed skill line that favor either hybrid builds (unarmed shouldn't be strictly stam, after all touch spells were a thing for many ES games) and/or makes use of new/innovative mobility mechanics (bring back monks/acrobats)

I agree 100%
I think I am going to change the title to reflect such.

Thank you for that.

Why would my fierce kitty stam DK want to punch something in the face when he is holding 2 perfectly good daggers?

I would love to see some new animation (that I will likely try to cancel) but I don't see the usefulness of an unarmed skill line. Or a non-cumbersome way to implement it.

Its funny that you say that when Khajiits are the race that have the most interest in hand to hand combat

El_Borracho · December 2018

@SilverIce58 I know. I remember when Khajiits in Skyrim had some sort of unarmed skill.

If you could make unarmed hit as much as armed, then I see some utility for it. But that's just not going to happen. I can see the threads now. NERF KHAJIITS!!

Well, that's what they mean by make an unarmed skill line. Make it hit as hard as a regular weapon would.

Lol. Pvpers

This is a slight tangent, but I recently discovered you can bar swap without a weapon slotted now. In the absence of an actual skill line, this at least made me, and by extension my "punch cat", very happy.

Punch Cat!

I love it

Next weapon skill line need to be magic melee

Monk Oblivion player here; strongly support this request!

Kanar · December 2018

Yes would be great to have an unarmed weapon skill line. Would be easy to create it in a way that offers either magicka or stamina build, so it would also satisfy the "magicka dual wield" crowd.

Royaji · December 2018

Sure. Just don't forget to give me an option to chop those hands off any Jet Li-wanna-be with my sword and go fight proper warriors who carry proper weapons. Not some peasants/monks who are not allowed to carry weapons and have to defend themselves without them.

I would love to see it. It really would add a whole new dynamic

It would totally jibe with lore considering the Khajiits and Imperial had monks in Oblivion..

This would work perfect.

Savos_Saren · December 2018

I like the idea. Just as long as hand-to-hand PVP builds don’t start complaining that there’s no counter to ranged builds.

Solariken · December 2018

Yes please Unarmed skill line!

The ultimate needs to be the Sparta kick that the first boss in Blackheart Haven does!

They will. I assure you they will cry.

I'd love handtohand skill line.
Add in Muay Thai skins and you got my $$$

Two words: passive dodge chance

Curtdogg47 · December 2018

If they throw in some old Street Fighter 2 moves in the Skill line I am down with this idea!

Looking forward to the Nerf hand to hand threads that will follow if they do this!

It's a fantasy setting, hand to hand combat without a weapon by the right person, especially when magic is involved can easily be as effective as someone wielding a weapon. Don't know whats up with these "Realism" people ruining the fun of a game, nobody plays games for realism.

Khivas_Carrick · December 2018

Realism.

In a game with lizard and cat people.

lol

Exactly my friend. We already don't have realism so why insist on leaving out cool skill lines we could have becuase "A weapon does more damage than a fist"
