MicroMod: Brass Knuckles
Knuckledusters!
Adds Metal knuckles – a new blunt weapon type, using the Striker skill to Punch, Jab or Uppercut your foes.
Specifics:
- Made at the Metalsmith – weapons menu.
- Unique ‘Forge brass knuckle’ reaction added to Metalsmith.
- Accessible to Dwarves, Humans and Goblins.
Stats/Balance:
The knuckles stats-wise are made to sit somewhere between Maces and Warhammers, while also having a fast ‘Jab’ attack which acts a bit more like a whip lash – though not the tiny 1:10 impact size.
They shouldn’t overshadow the other weapons, but please let me know if it’s the case – as my testing has been a bit limited so far.
Known issues:
- In the Embark screen, the skill Striker will show up twice – though they’re in sync and still just one skill. In my testing this hasn’t had any side-effects after.
- The knuckle graphic icon doesn’t change colors according to materials (yet)

The goal for MicroMods such as this is to add standalone small changes that can easily be toggled on and off, instead of including them in a pack of multiple "All or nothing" features.
