Would it be possible to add some sort of ‘Back Strap’, that would allow us to wear items such as quarterstaffs, broadswords, crowbars etc. around our back?
The strap could be crafted with leather patches, and take a decent skill with tailoring to do. The item works like a holster - but for decent-sized melee weapons. Not knives or anything like that.
Now, I may be talking absolute rubbish here, but here’s how it could work in terms of coding. It could reject strapping items on your back that are less than, say, 5 volume (This item is too small to carry around your back.), but it could also reject strapping items on your back that are more than, for example, 15 volume (This item is too large to carry around your back.)
So basically, an item that works like a holster, but for melee weapons. This would allow easy carrying for items such as the quarterstaff; like holsters, activating the back strap makes you equip the quarterstaff by unattaching it from the strap.
The reason I’m suggesting this is because blunt weapons (nail bats, crowbars, quarterstaffs, whatever) should probably have some support for holstering and carrying without demolishing your volume.
The idea’s probably already been suggested, but hey, there you have it: the Back Strap.
