Aberacht Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 -Andvarinaut-- -Weapon Type: Ashen Gauntlets. -Size: Medium. -Level: One. Furnace of the Dvergar:Any taijutsu or basic attacks you use while Andvarinaut is equipped are considered to be of the fire element. These attacks are still considered to be taijutsu based attacks. Weapon attacks using only Andvarinaut are also considered to be of the fire element. ($75) Aspect of Járngreipr:Advarinaut is treated as Armor [Hands] while another weapon is equipped. Advarinaut cannot be used to attack until the other weapon in no longer equipped. Advarinaut cannot be equipped if the user already has an item equipped in the Armor [Hands] location. ($25) Indestructible: If an effect would destroy Andvarinaut, instead it is rendered unusable for the remainder of the battle, after which it may be used normally. ($50)Unique: Only one of this item may exist at any time. ($50) -Description: Andvarinaut is, in essence, a pair of gloves. They are also known as the Ringfists, due to the fact that a large gemstone is crafted on the back of each palm. While they may appear to be there for decoration, in fact they are two of the most prized jewels of Muspelheim, because of their ability to focus any energy passing through them into pure flame. This ability enables those who wield Andvarinaut to fight with incinerating punches as well as release fire from their fingertips. The pair was passed down from noble lord to son for generations through the royalty of Muspelheim, until eventually ending up in the hands of Surtr who fled to Konoha. Andvarinaut has since vanished, though it is assumed that one of his many descendants possesses them. -Cost: $220.
Kouta Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) 1) Say it like so: "...is equipped are considered to be of the fire element." You may also want to consider an additional $25 and say that this covers Basic Attacks and Normal Weapon Attacks as well. 2) Say it like so: "Advarinaut is treated as Armor [Hands] while another weapon is equipped. Advarinaut cannot be used to attack until the other weapon in no longer equipped. Advarinaut cannot be equipped if the user already has an item equipped in the Armor [Hands] location." Say it that way, much easier to understand. Also, I don't know if you intended it, so this can also be added onto the end of the second sentence of the second ability, if you intend this to work like I think it does: "..., but all of Advarinaut's effects that do not require the user to attack still apply." That would mean your Taijutsu used with the new weapon are still fire element. If you do it that way, however, the gloves will require an additional $100 on that ability. 3) So pick your favorite combination of the three and then: enjoy Edited June 7, 2008 by Kouta
Anima Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 This might seem like an odd question, but should gloves be considered medium sized weapons?
Aberacht Posted June 7, 2008 Author Posted June 7, 2008 Yes. If they were considered to be small weapons, then they would share similar properties with throwable objects like kunai. Thus, they are medium.
Guest Crim Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) If anything, I would consider 'gloves' as equipment, not a weapon. Obviously still being able to apply the same effects you stated. Edit: But that just me, an I'm sure many other 'glove' type items have been approved as a weapon, just stating something that the staff might need to look into after plox. Edited June 7, 2008 by Crim
Aberacht Posted June 8, 2008 Author Posted June 8, 2008 But for me to be able to fight with them, they must be categorized as a "weapon". That's why they aren't armor.
Kouta Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) Precisely. Gloves, Clawed Gloves, Gloves with Built in Iron Knuckles, have all been classified as being able to be both Armor and a Weapon at the same time. Most people simply get it approved one way or another, this guy just happens to want them both. What he is saying is true, though. If they are classified as Armor or Equipment, then he can't fight with them like a weapon, and would get no boosts to his punches. So make up a reason if you'd like, say that they have metal over the knuckles, or whatever else you'd like, but gloves and the like have always been able to do either function, depending on how you wanted them to work. Also, I'm unsure which paths you chose, but did you decide to cover basic attacks and basic weapon attacks with your first ability? If so, you'd need to state it in the ability. (I think the cost went up some, so I was just checking) Edited June 8, 2008 by Kouta
Aberacht Posted June 15, 2008 Author Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) Bump. Edit: I realized that the cost was incorrect. It is now fixed~ Edited June 16, 2008 by Arachanox
cntrstrk14 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Moved back for a moment. Furnace of the Dvergar: Any taijutsu or basic attacks you use while Andvarinaut is equipped are considered to be of the fire element. ($75) Two things. First off, I'm guessing you want the say that weapon attacks with these are considered of the fire element as well. It doesn't make much sense that you can punch someone with a basic attack with these, but if you punch as a medium weapon attack it doesn't do a thing. Second, add in the line 'These attacks are still considered to be taijutsu based attacks.'
