Maybe instead of a full-out claw, it could be a large, curved combat blade (something like a khukuri), so it can have the nickname of "claw" while maintaining the organised military feel.

Alright Nocifer. I just got a new job, so I won't be able to do much for the next couple days, but I'll start butchering as soon as I can.

Oddly, the only part that I can't figure out at a glance is how to give him elemental immunity... I can strengthen him, amp up the regen, and even get the yurei abilities without much trouble, it seems.

Yeah, I was wondering how the elemental resistances worked. My guess is that they're part of the .ini code, so I'll take a look. If that's the case, I can probably handle that.
Now, do you want the sprite to be closer in size and shape to the Oni or the Tengu? I mean, it'll look more like the Tengu in the end, but I figure a supersoldier would probably be one beefy ♥♥♥♥, so I thought it might be good to get the actor to be about the size of an Oni, if not slightly bigger.

I was thinking of having it as more of an elite, than a super-soldier. I don't want to dig into the Oni code, too. He's more about skill and extreme technology than brute strength....

Oh, and we should take any further discussion to PMs.

The "elemental" resistances work through Lua because the darkstorm flamer, ice sprayer and the emp things are all using Lua.

Ah, okay. Thank you, Lizard. I suppose that we will just have to edit our weapons accordingly.

... actually, it wouldn't change a whole lot, even visually. It'd just better explain how they can cling to stuff. Though I suppose at the same time I could just say that the knives are designed in such a way as to dig into and secure themselves to surfaces.

The only real functional change is that the Oni would be able to cling to walls, which isn't a huge deal since he can kind of slam himself against surfaces to stick to them already anyway, thanks to the CC engine. At the same time though I could even just explain that as "he digs a powerful hand into the surface and makes a handhold." So whatever. It's all cosmetic really.

Why would you ever say "Khokuri would make it more of a claw but maintaining the military feel" Freaking bipedial war machines that rips out the intestines of their victims if military enough lol {PS not meant offensive more of a joke}

Here's an idea for realism: Make it so only one-handed weapons can be wielded when gripping, and pin one arm to the surface being clung to.

That wouldn't very easy to do.

That's because you can't.

Give the actor a shield and force it into crouch mode somehow?

You could check if the wielded weapon is one or two handed, if it's two handed, switch to the next or force-drop it.

I believe it is quite impossible to check that.

Well the I'm screwed! I just hate the idea of claws. There are so many ideas more economic than claws, and they just seem so informal and un-military.
