Add the ability to punch for Tajara (And unathi??)


Recommended Posts

Claws are great and all that, a lot more damaging than punches iirc, but sometimes It'd be great to just punch someone in the face, instead of y'know, ripping their face open.


Gives the ability to punch someone in anger without it turning into a literal bloody mess.

Biologically speaking, humans are unique in our evolution that we developed digits and wrists designed for punching. Honestly, it'd make no real sense to have clawed races be able to punch.

If we dispense with the evolutionary aspect and assume clawed races had similarly structured hands...how would they even punch? Make a fist and look at where your nails go. If an unathi were to try to punch, their claws would puncture their palms.


Though if you're hitting someone without the intention of doing harm (aka no claws), I'd suggest using the *slap verb

For punching without doing harm, there's already the pull-punches verb.

Maybe an open-palmed strike instead of a punch?


I like the idea.

 

This is a good suggestion if a closed fist punch is non-sensical.


And I want to inflict injury, not make a cheek slightly red and inflict a pouty face on someone.

C'mon guise, guise, c'mon.
