Can\'t believe I\'ve missed this thread...
I really think the Katar thing is really cool...and it can also have lots of different shapes (Voldos weapons in Soul Calibur 2)
Im gonna play a monk and I think it would be really cool with fist weapons like knuckles or short metal claws.

oooh. /me can see RedMonk with metal claws...
EHRUM...To stick to the original subject. I dunno bout you guys but I think its so cool when rogues climb using a dagger with a rope attached to it or something like that. Maybe such an item could be implemented to climb areas that cannot be reached with the regular climbing skill. These should be really expensive and maybe only usable by rogues thats attained a certain level in climbing. It wouldnt be very cool if every person in town could have one I think...loses its value.
