Hand to Hand Weapons

****BAH, this probably goes better in the "builders section". SORRY!***

I know this has been brushed upon before but....how hard would it be to add a "hand to hand" weapon class?

This would be for stuff like knuckles, claws, hand scythes, etc. All extremely close range stuff that "attaches" to the hand almost. This popped into my head as I was helping to build an area....also from the fact that the "claws of Malar" are currently a "dagger" and I think of them more as metal knuckles with giant blades coming off of them (making the hunter like a clawed animal

)

Currently, I believe it is just rped and you go with your brawling skill. However, my favorite deity (Malar) would LOVE such weapons. Up close and personal

Just curious what the thoughts were. I like to see as many weapon classes as possible and think this could be a fun addition.

Well a scythe is more of a polearm than a hand to hand weapon, you might be thinking of a small sickle or such...

I found this....its along the lines of what I was thinking. hand scythe might be a bad EX(I was thinking of a small, half circular blade that fits in your hand). sorry gwain

I love the idea of weapons that could be used to raise the damage of brawling. More damage is inflicted when wearing spiked gauntlets then barehanded.

This is close to my idea, but not quite what I am looking for Algon. I want the actual class. I don't want to make brawling do more damage. That can be helped by feats to an extent. I am looking for a "weapon skill" in hand to hand weaponry.

It is similar to brawling, but not the same as some of these exotic weapons you would not "punch" with. this being "claws" etc
