I’d love for fist weapons to be modded in somehow. Fists are already a base-game skill, so theoretically weapons that exist are already associated with the other skills. Hopefully that means adding weapons to the Fist category wouldn’t be terribly difficult, but I have no idea yet what would go into this effort-wise.

Do you know of any historical fist weapons from the period in Bohemia?
I can’t say whether they were used specifically in Bohemia, but as far as I understand, weapons like the Caestus and Brass Knuckles were in use around that period of time.
(edit) alright so I’m less sure about the brass knuckles, and the Caestus have been around since ancient roman times, I think? – but there were also weapons called push daggers, and Katars - although these are more like really small blades that are wielded between the fingers, though they are wielded and used in a similar manner as caestus / brass knuckles.

I suppose it would be possible but the Caestus was more of a sport weapon and was more or less exclusive to the roman gladiatorial fights. I don’t think they were used outside or after the disbanding of the games.
Push daggers and the Katar are kinda fist weapons but would more likely be classified as daggers. I believe the Katar was around in the 14th century but I don’t know how much contact or trade was made with India through Bohemia. Also I’m not certain but the Katar might have been a status weapon and I’m not sure it would have been sold to foreigners. Katar’s would be cool though.

Good point! So they wouldn’t exactly be realistic weapons for the period or for normal combat against swords… But… They’d still be a fun addition, for me personally.

Then again seeing as how this is under modding (Didn’t notice that until now) I don’t see the issue with adding the Caestus or Katar. It’s modding so basically if someone wants to make it then they can.
Could have a Exotic Arms mod that adds weapons from other places maybe even times into the game. They might be able to just use the hand to hand mechanics and just add the weapons as a skin and tweak some of the animations to make them work.

I’m making a mod at the moment for Skyrim to add fist weapons.
The list so far:
Tekko-kagi (claws)
Deer Horn Knives (crescent blades)
Katar
Push knives
Caestus
Tonfa (not fist but oh well)
Knuckles
I’ve made two tonfas, the claws and the deer horn knives so far.
When we have the tools then I’d be happy to loom at porting the models to KC:D or releasing them as a resource for someone else.
That said, it would be pretty unlikely to find these weapons historically in this region/era.
Even if there was contact around the continent’s, these weapons weren’t really designed for the sort of combat we see in the game.
Most of these weapons were developed during weapon prohibitions and for assassinations due to them being easily concealed.
Also, Katars did originate from India, and we’re used both in combat as well as for ceremonial reasons.
They differed between very basic designs and very embellished fancy designs.
Just thought I’d clear that up.
Cestus used by seamen?
