Poison Mace! Aw sheeit

Poison mace, nuff said

[DrEvizan]

Basic construction has begun. But any concept crits would be welcome before I go too far...

[dabu]

I don't think people understand the concept from the drawings.

Thats glass, yes? I could see a whole rack of these disposable things, you just pick up, smash, and then move on to the next. you could buy packs of twenty.

[DrEvizan]

but if you had twenty, it would be slightly more practical. If you just had one, rather cumbersome and expensive looking one that you can basically use once. Now thats not only impractical - it's also fiscally irresponsible! I'll keep your idea in mind, but what can I do to make my intentions more obvious - as far as it being made of glass and such?

[dabu]

I think it should have fallen off its very impressive and equally expensive display stand...

then you're like "well tough guy, you want some? I'll just reach for my.... aw crap."

[Amad]

I like the idea of the handle being a solid piece that would not be disposable. You could have a small stable of these class poison ball thingys on a floor case, then quickly reach down and attach the glass mace-heads as you fight. Sort of a plug and play idea.

I THINK that's where you were going, but wasn't quite sure. Sweet idea.

[dabu]

I LOVE this idea Josh. Run with it Doug, Goooooooo gooo go.

You could have different ones, like one filled with poo, pee, puke, mucus, acid, gas (that sparks when you hit them, that would rock) and one filled with... marbles or something that just go everywhere, and then said enemy just slips and falls...

this mace + glitter = awesome and unbarably difficult to wash off

[DrEvizan]

This is good stuff. I'm not sure I could pull off convincing glitter, but that would suck to get hit with. Especially after having a spike glass ball smashed into the side of your face - it's tough to decide what's worse between losing all that blood, or looking like a slain pixie. I'll concept out some obvious ways to make the ball end look detachable. But now I've got a new problem. If the balls contain different things, what should the weapon be called? I can't still call it a "poison mace", can I?

hmm

[rburke]

i like the idea of detachable heads for the mace it would be sort of cool as far as naming goes though hard to say. could be anything really depends on your target game i guess.
Like "painful mace of fragility" if it was in an rpg or "mace of few swings"

or something like the "mace your face construction set" then have attachments that you can buy to expand your set. hell you could even fill it with mace.

Or fill it with marbles and call it the rattler or the morraca (you know that instrument)

what this reminds me of too is on of those ball in the cup games that like an ice cream cone and a ball on a string. you know the not a video game game.

It would be sick if you could use this in an mmo like morrowind of fallout 3 and you could collect different items and combine them to make your own mace heads. You know like acid, or mayonnaise, or gasoline, maybe water to put out fire creatures etc. Like could be a blowfish or something all blown up with those spikes sticking out. lots of possibility with this.

What is the handle anyways looks like a bicycle handlebar. maybe modify that a bit make it have a suction cup or something on it to hold the mace head.
