I love the improvised weapons concept; every battle would be a bit different. With the "carries no weapons" I would worry that it would be easy enough to just borrow another PC's backup weapon, in which case it might just slow them down a tad at the beginning of combat. If that was somehow forbidden (like the character believes that the Fates will provide a weapon, or not, as they see fit), then it would be similar enough.

As a GM, I'm not wedded to multiples of five. If we figured that one of these was worth 12 points, I'd be fine with that.
