Fist-loads
Fist loads are weapons that increase the mass of the hand so that, given the physical proportionality between the fist's momentum and its mass, it increases the force the bearer can deliver. Some fist-load weapons may also serve, in the same manner, as the guard on a sword, to protect the structure of the bearer's hand.
This weapon group also includes close up weapons that can be attached to any limb including feet, tails, etc.Many of the weapons are only one step removed from bare-handed fighting, while others simply require the user to forgo the benefits of a traditional weapon and instead rely on their unexpected offensive implement and a willingness to close closer than most fighters are prepared for. Many of the weapons in this group are also quite light and suit wielders for whom agility is key.
