Re: So, sell me on Clock?
All weapons have their advantages and disadvantages. Daggers are very good if you're fighting armored foes, provided you know how to use armor. They can armor chink. Swords have excelent damage output, and provide lots of parry bonuses, hafted weapons range through so many different damage types it's not even funny, polearms provide a dodge bonus against melee attacks, and lances fall under this category, which are the deadliest melee weapons you can get. Brawling is unique and provided you're in the right guilds can be just as deadly as any other weapon. whips have urumis and can proc trips and disarms, not to mention they can be used from ranged status and a dodge bonus. That being said, they all have their drawbacks as well. Daggers are awful to parry with, swords are mostly slashing, which is negated by armor, hafted weapons have poor parry bonuses and usually take both hands to wield, polearms damage output isn't the greatest, and their parry bonuses aren't the greatest, whips damage output is pathetic, etc. Just play around with different setups and you'll find something you like.
To the question about raising in the game, it really depends. There's no way to raise skills without grinding, but, you don't need to have skills to be a fixture in the community. Mummers storytell, and if you're good at coming up with stories or performances, you can quickly see yourself being admired and with many friends. There aren't levels or anything like that. You can create a character and just chat with folk about the happenings, but there's lots of dangers in the world, so it's advised to become skilled with some sort of weapon.
This is a very good post, thank you.
