Early February, Larian Studios tweeted out a very cryptic question:
This left us wondering what on earth could they be working on? Well.. After the latest Panel from Hell, and Patch 7 being released, we finally know. The Improvised Weapon feat! If you’re familiar with D&D then you’ll know what I’m talking about, but if you don’t, well you’re in for a treat.
What is the Improvised Weapon feat?
Well, imagine looking to your side. The first object you see, something that isn’t a conventional ‘weapon’. Well, if you’ve got the Improvised Weapon feat, then you know exactly how to throw it in a way that’ll do damage. In-game, this means you can pick up anything and use it as a weapon. Whether to bludgeon your opponents or throw an unsuspecting Goblin at a Worg. The choice is yours.
Improvised Weapons do damage based on their weight. Objects between 0.5kg and 10kg will do 1d4, while anything over 10kg will do 2d4. Characters can wield an Improvised weapon that weighs up to three times their Strength ability score.
I know what you’re now wondering… And yes. Yes you can throw your own companions as a weapon. In fact, during the Panel from Hell stream, the Larian team did just that.
Anyone can take this feat, but it’ll be heavily reliant on your Strength score, so better to try it out with your brand new Barbarian!
