Different In Chat Message When Attempting To Use Wrong Weapon (81+ Upvotes)

I suggest that when someone tries to use a weapon that is too high a level for them or a different class, they get one of the following messages:

*Tries to use warrior weapon* *This weapon is too heavy for you to lift, let alone use, and disgruntled, you stop trying.*
*Tries to use assassin weapon* *You pull out the weapon, but as you pull it out the blade cuts you, and you put cautiously put away the weapon*
*Tries to use mage weapon* *You attempt to summon the ancient power from within you, but feel nothing*
*Tries to use archer weapon* *You attempt to pull back the string, but only succeed in cutting your fingers*

*Tries to use too high a level* *It feels as if this weapon pushes away from you as you try to pick it up*

Let me know what you think in the poll above!

 

Yass more immersion +1
EDIT:

Also, what about skill point reqs? Maybe something like:

Strength: "This weapon seems to cumbersome to use, you must not be strong enough"
Dexterity: "It seems you do not have the dexterity required to use this small weapon."
Intelligence: "You cannot figure out the workings of this weapon, maybe you do not have the intelligence."
Defense: "As you attempt to use this weapon, your hands get burned. Maybe your hands aren't well enough defended"
Agility: "When you attempt to grasp this weapon, it becomes intangible and falls. It seems as if you aren't agile enough to manipulate it"

EDIT 2: Quest requirements

"You are unable to figure out a way of wielding this weapon. A name and a number seem carved into it. <e.g. Tobold, 45"

 

I actually agree with this because currently, they still use the pre-Gavel format! Yes, it tells Warriors to use a shovel and mages to use a stick and assassins to use shears still...

 

Actually yes. A simple addition, but one that really fits. +1.

 

I'm really liking this idea and your examples of different sorts of messages for items beyond someone's stats! Now, how about elemental requirements?

 

This sounds really awesome, short, but to the point. I support this!

 

Although I think this is a pretty good suggestion, for the assasin text it says "And you drop the weapon" it does not really make sense because you don't actually drop the weapon.
Although the rest are pretty awesome

what about for armor

 

wat


Great idea by the way.
+1 support.

 

Nice and simple, I support.

 

"As you try to pick up this weapon it shocks you"- thunder
"The weapon is too cold to hold"- water
"As you try to hold this weapon, you get burned"-fire
"The weapon blows back your hand" -air
"The weapon seems to be stuck to the ground"-earth

 

Bbbummppittty bump bump bump!

 

Cool idea! +1

Tiny things that bother me:

Ha! YOU FOOL!

"This is why mama told me not to play with weapons...."

 

But it wouldn't make sense if for example you didn't have 4 of the requirements, it would look like this: "This weapon is too heavy for you to lift, let alone use, and disgruntled, you stop trying. It seems you do not have the dexterity required to use this small weapon. It feels as if this weapon pushes away from you as you try to pick it up. You are unable to figure out a way of wielding this weapon. A name and a number seem carved into it." That weapon must hate you lol

 

Yes, more variety! However maybe there could be more messages (as in a random chance of either).
For example:
General - "You try to use the weapon, but it simply refuses to work. Disappointed, you put the weapon away."
For Warrior - "Your attempts at throwing the spear are futile, you cannot even lift it, let alone throw it."
For Mage - "When you pick up the stick, a vision appears showing that you cannot handle the wand yet."
For Assassin - "The daggers seem alright to use at first, but when you hit a tree it just bounces off and hits your face."
For Archer - "This bowstring is literally non-existant. Nothing happens at all when you pull."

EDIT

Armor variety:

Helmets - "This helmet just does not fit correctly, and is hard to take off. Bad idea."
Chestplate - "You expect something to happen, but the chestplate is as if it's not even there."
Leggings - "When you come out of hiding these pants immediately fall off. Embarrased, you rush back to a hiding spot.
Boots - "It feels alright, but you trip numerous times not even walking 10 steps. Not a good thing to use."

 

Fire -
"As you pick it up, the weapon burns your fingers. Maybe you aren't strong enough with Fire."
Air -
"The temperature around you suddenly drops. Maybe you must learn more about Air."
Earth -
"The ground shakes as you try to use this weapon. You put it away, reminding yourself to learn more about Earth."
Thunder -
"A large thundercloud is swirling above you. You might not have enough Thunder to use this weapon."
Water -
"As you hold this weapon, you suddenly can't breathe as if you are underwater. Maybe you ARE underwater..."
