Pratepresidenten Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 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.
Trazz666 Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 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
Lohikar Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 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.
Scheveningen Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 There's also a separate verb to allow you to use exclusively kicks, punches, claws, etc. I forget what it's called as I've not found it that useful.
cloud Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Maybe an open-palmed strike instead of a punch? I like the idea.

Pratepresidenten Posted July 1, 2018 Author Posted July 1, 2018 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.
