Unarmed Animation Options

[AlfarinIcebreaker]

Hi guys,

I was mulling around a few Brawler character concepts (Fist of the Forest or Battlerager). Both get or require Improved Unarmed Strike and follow a different path to that of a Monk, but once you get the feat (IUS) the animations automatically change to those of Monk.

How hard would it be to implement a sort of toggle feature or option to keep regular animations (there are only regular and monk, so A or B options) because jumping around throwing roundhouse kicks doesn't fit into picture of a brawler or battlerager.

I think it would be a nice touch a give some immersion to these other types of unarmed fighters. I don't know how big of a hassle would it be though - I noticed the warmace animation change and I liked it, fits better the physics of the weapon.

I believe I brought this up once but it went nowhere.. would love to see the fighting styles expanded.

Good timing for this post!
I was thinking the same thing with my new monk/cleric character.
The kicks do not really suit my monk. I see my monk as more of a pugilist hitting with wild haymakers or the with like the classic double axe handle. Mix that with knockdowns and that would be his style.
You know, like a strength brawler.
...Although I like the front kick he does now, that is fun to watch.
