Weapon handles - Rework?

[Branjolf]

Weapon handles used to have more impact on a weapon, for example some materials actually increased the piercing dmg. This could be expanded in different ways.

You're talking about "Grip" material yes?

Apart from additional piercing damage, the grip material could also add weakspot and weight-driven blunt damage. Knowledge of the effects of grip materials is what defined a good weapon smith.

Yes i was talking about the grip

 

[Ichorous]

I agree with this. I would also like to see grip material be expanded beyond textiles and skin. It used to be possible to use bone, tooth, horn, metal, and stone for grip. I don't know if scales are still possible, but they should be as well.

scales work for grip. and they add the most durability in the grip world
