Workin' on makin' my first 5th ed character, wantin' to go with a Physical Adept who uses unarmed, but I was hoping to have some kind of unarmed weapon. I saw earlier that cyber spurs still use the unarmed skill and are actually pretty good, but when I checked their non-implanted counterpart, Forearm Snap Blades, they were much worse and apparently use the Blades skill. Considering that the first line of the Snap Blade description compares them to spurs ("These are essentially like spurs, only they’re external—painless to install or remove.") I don't really understand why they are so much worse/different. Is there some factor I'm not seeing here? Would you, as a GM, allow a character to use the Cyber Spur stats on a similar non-implanted weapon?
