Fistload Weapons
Fistload weapons are a class of weapons that are either the hand itself, or are mounted into the hand.
Knuckles
1:1(cost), 0.1/0.1(wt), 10(CC)
Op: inactive, worn ◊ s2a: 1hp 1ep for bonus-act
Usage: melee-att(main | bonus-act)
-> chk(TC)= +M(Wpn-Fistload)
-> eff= -6(Str,min), 10(audio)
-> eff= 1d3 +M +M(Str)(hp,frc)
Description: Knuckles, brass knuckles, knucklebusters, paperweights or classics are a fistload weapon, designed to increase damage to the target by concentrating force to a smaller area.
Nanofist
650:2(cost), 0.1/0.2(wt), 12(CC)
Op: inactive, worn ◊ s2a: 1hp 1ep for bonus-act
Usage: melee-att(main | bonus-act)
-> chk(TC)= +M(Wpn-Fistload)
-> eff= -6(Str,min), 15(audio)
-> eff= 1d6 +M +M(Str)(hp,frc|prc|sls)
-> 1ep for 15act
Description: The nanofist is a high-tech version of knuckles and tiger claws, wherein the user can choose between force, pierce or slash damage on each attack. The weapon does more damage, because both options (studs or claws) are larger and optimised for effectiveness, rather than for concealment.
The type of damage dealt depends on the mode that the weapon is operating in, meaning that the wearer can choose the mode at the start of combat, and may change the mode using their bonus-action.
Snotter, heartdagger
See the “Snotter” entry under ranged weapons for the rest of the range.
1.4K:2(cost), 0.1/0.8(wt), 13(CC)
Op: inactive, worn ◊ s2a: 1hp 2ep for bonus-act
Usage: melee-att(main | bonus-act)
-> chk(TC-A)= +M(Wpn-Fistload)
-> eff= -6(Str,min), 80(audio)
-> imp(sv,Str,8+M)= 10(cone), 2d4(hp,frc)
-> 1ep for 10act
Description: The snotter is a sonic weapon, and is mostly a ranged weapon, however the heartdagger is a fistload variant and wielded as if it were a melee weapon. Note that it also has a range, meaning that physical contact with the enemy is not necessary.
Tiger Claws

Op: inactive, worn ◊ s2a: 1hp 1ep for bonus-act
Usage: melee-att(main | bonus-act)
