Weapons and weak classes

[Faust]

Okay, so pardon my vast noobishness, but after looking at the rules I have a few very important questions.

The first few are regarding weapons. Firstly, suppose I don't have (or cannot buy) a certain weapon. What does that mean for the character? Mut they fight unarmed, or do that have access to a sort of noobish version of a weapon that they can use in place of the big weapon (wooden sword, slingshot, shillelagh?)?

Also, and this is a two parter. Say I buy a gun weapon, but I wanna use the traditional single gun instead of the Desperado style suggested by the picture. Can I? And on that note, what about custom weapons? Can characters use unique or different weapons than the ones offered? The way I see the weapons in the Shop working out, just owning them gives me a discount, not nessecarily wielding them.

In that case (sorry, but every question I ask brings up more) does that mean, theoretically, that I could buy a spear for my spear user, get a brawler later down the road, and then buy a spear skill at a discount for the brawler? Seeing a brawler perform an asteroid drop with his fists would be interesting, though he'd probably need a spear for that...

But enough about weapons. My last question for now is: must I clear the creation of a new character with the RosenQueen company every single time? Even if the character's particular class happens to be one of the free, first level classes. It'd be no great heartache if I had to, but still I'd like to know one way or the other.

And that's all I wanna know. Please and thank you for your time.

I'm fairly sure for RP purposes you can have a weapon, and the shop is for discounts, however I'm not 100% sure on that. For RP I think you can use anything, but as far as using skills the weapon should be the same type or similar enough? Don't quote me on that, though.

I don't think asteroid drop/anything like that can be used without a spear, or a weapon virtually identical to a spear. You could make a custom skill similar to it for fists, though.

As far as last question goes, I think you're supossed to do that for each character after your first one, but again I'm unsure. I'm merely speculating, and basing this on my memory from olden times.

Hazzerous is correct!

As for the last question, if the class does not cost anything, then no. you are not required to clear it with Rosenqueen~

Cool! So, carry around a weapon if it suits ya, make the free classes with impunity, and buy the weapons when you want a discount. On it, fearless leader!
