>>Gamergirl151: Not related to the bug, but it should be noted that warklin are considered slice resistant, so any poor Empath at level to these things is going to be killing them slowly. GS primarily use slice attacks, and when manipulated creatures with high defenses take a while to kill each other.

A nice quality of life tweak for Empaths (and those who share their hunting grounds) would be for warriors to be compatible with blunt weapons. (Currently, they come with a small edged weapon and can be commanded to take a different small or large edged weapon.)

This could be done either by updating the TAKE functionality, allowing the warrior to pick up a blunt weapon. Even more convenient would be an option to summon it specifically with a blunt weapon.

When I was there mining one time, I found that my GS inflicted way-the-heck more damage if I just had it drop its weapon and use natural attacks. At first I gave it a sabre to try and puncture through them, but using its fists had a greater impact. I wouldn't be opposed to expanding their weapon options, but for now folks can use this technique to have some success.

Thanks,

I didn't even realize GS can't use blunts. How odd.
