have decided to use knives even though they are essentially worthless atm. was thinking about some things that could be done to make them actually viable.
1. attack with both blades at once. currently you only attack with one blade so why are you even "dual-wielding"? no reason to go knife over sword with things the way they are
2. increase speed slightly. not a lot. just a little bit
3. increase dmg slightly. doing 6dmg per blade is kinda meh. that's an r0 knife
-#2,3 would help make up for the non existent range of knives.
4. have knives raise dex. currently only archery raises dex. seems like knives/dex are a good fit
5.give knives a unique power. like a "backstab" that does even more dmg from an attack in the back
6.finally, i personally think it would make more sense for the mahirim race weapon to be daggers. it's called ghost claw i think. would make sense to have a claw in each hand kind of like an actual claw. and give them longer range then regular daggers.
Having a mahirims racial weapon be a 1hand sword is pretty lame imo. worse weapon in game atm for a racial. everyone else has two-handed weaps that do a lot of dmg and have better range.
