>>36380079That's kind of hard to help with if nobody knows anything, so this is probably rhetorical. Worst-case scenario, you can crib hooks from other places and fiddle with them until they fit your setting, I guess?
The main thing you might have to worry about if you don't plan on being somewhat episodic is pacing it so your middle bit doesn't feel like it's only there to be a prequel to the endgame. If there's a big threat looming and it gets drawn out endlessly, people tend to get fatigued pretty fast.
Either way, good luck.
And from last time I was around before it got axed, in case these guys are around again:
>>36366475>Cripple vs Kill is much more viable with a mace than a sword.I mean, the non-business end of a sword is pretty much mace-lite, but nobody really makes a point of leveraging that kind of classical sword combat technique outside of the abstract "oh, we wanna knock him out, better hit him with the pommel of our sword."
>>36366494A lot of this is that if you're the kind of person who regularly gets into melee combat, it's not really practical to carry around a whole armory.
Particularly in mid-high fantasy settings where the efficacy of your weapon can vary greatly based on its material/craftsmanship, and especially so if it's some wuxia shit where katas are something functional in combat rather than just going through forms by rote, it'll probably be more useful on the whole to have one high-quality fairly versatile weapon that you are well-versed in.
