I actually prefer defense fabrication over weapons, so it's not that strange. Body armor is more my style than a cane, but I imagine you could just pick those up in several places in town. Now if you want a cane that can double as a defense item, I could help with that, though I'm not sure it'd be much help if you can't see what's coming at you. Maybe one that uses RFID signals to help guide you around? I'll have to put some notes together and see what I can come up with.
