all fist weapons deal crushing dmg. Bare fists are the same way

Actually, I think katars are piercing/fists.

All fist weapons use the crushing skill 'cept claws, but I think only wraps and knuckles do crushing damage.

<P>Maybe I should clarify myself.  I mean when your talking about AA's...For instance the Str line do the AA's only work for PURE bare fists?</P> <P>Or do crafted Handwraps (since they are labled as FIST) count as fists as far as the AA's are concerned?</P> <P>And if they do NOT count as Fists How many AA's are needed before you should change to bare fists...if ever.</P> <P>Edik 23 Barbarian Monk</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P><p>Message Edited by Hankin on <span class=date_text>09-02-2006</span> <span class=time_text>10:01 PM</span>
