so I know that creatures are gone until they respawn for now, but under normal circumstances...
how does one fight creatures, or rather, what does one fight creatures WITH?
I ask because I've looked at the rules, which say one must have a weapon. but I've looked at the weapons list, and pretty much all of them have X's by them. are there no weapons that we can use?
sorry if this is a dumb question. I've looked at the rules and couldn't find an answer. and this is a topic i'm not familiar with, since I've never dealt with creature combat or weapons.
A long, long, LONG time ago, at least a few months, one of the ASims put up a list of weapons and their damage and max/min hits and stuff.
Now, even though none of the weapons are implemented in the rules pages, doesn't mean you can't use them. I may be wrong, but I believe all weapons can be used against creatures. Each has a maximum/minimum hit, and damage that can be done with each hit.
You just have to be in the same square as them for melee weapons, or a certain number of squares away from them with ranged weapons. Then you get combat!

Has unarmed combat been implemented yet? When ah went hunting some months ago (or whenever Beastie Bashing started) you could not fight if you didn't have a weapon (which was great if you just wanted the extra hits you brought along an unarmed NPC)

I believe this is what you were referring to... Weapons Stats
Killing creatures is a blast! (no pun intended) I spent a whole day killing off herds of Physalis Berry-Monster. Yes, I was lucky enough to find a few herds in one city. By the end of the night, I cleared at least 550 XP. That's comparable to a hyper trip that could take days!
By the way, I used the BlasTech Industries BT 500. Never jammed, excellent accuracy, and easy to use. Just aim and squeeze the trigger!
Cool. It looks like the link I was talking about, but with the whole 404 error thing, it's hard to tell. Reminds me of a lot of things, actually.
But it sounds to me like after the Dev meeting, there's a possibility of different creature behaviors being put in. Perhaps not attacking, but maybe run away/stay and 'fight' kind of thing. But then, that's speculation.

Erm, I believe they do fight back if you're within their range. That said I think creatures only have same square range. I could be wrong however, but I seem to remember them being able to bite you.
