> A few wishes I came up with when thinking about CF combat.

> New skill called offhand fighting that when perfected allowed some of the simpler
> specs to be done with weapons in the offhand.

> Sword: Get rid of flourintine. Have a two handed school of swordplay with it's own
> set of specs. Change flurry so that there's a chance for the defender to deal
> damage to the one flurrying and drop the lag down to two rounds.
> Get rid of doublethrust and go with some form of a slashing attack as most swords
> were used as slashing weapons.

> Axe: Get rid of hook and add a spec similar to jab only using the end of the haft.
> An attack similar to boneshatter which causes bleeding since the axe does as much
> internal damage as external when it connects.

> Split up staff and spear and make each a spec:

> Staff: Get rid of spin and give them enhanced parrying ability. Give them smashing type
> attacks which can break kneecaps, elbows and hands and feet.

> Spear: Pretty much keep all the specs except spin and give them a something similar to distance.

> Dagger: Make some of the skills usable in the offhand and make it's parrying ability almost nothing.

> Whip: Less parrying than the dagger which means zero.

> Flail: Get rid of choke and pull. Give them some form of attack where they whirl the flail, striking
> possibly more than one target, including themselves and groupmates.

> Polearm: Get rid of charge and chargeset.
> Give them an attack similar to hamstring only aimed at the back of the knee. Give them something against
> shields so they can pull them down and execute a thrusting attack.

> Shield use: Bashing techniques. It should be the best spec for defense.

> Armor: Wearing plate, chain, leather etc... should actually mean something in terms of protection and mobility.
> Plate should be hard to find and should offer excellent protection against most weapons. Chain should be easier
> to find and offer protection against slashing and thrusting, but offers little against crushing. Leather should
> be easiest to find and should offer minimal protection against thrusting and slashing. It should offer little
> protection against crushing.

> Weapon and armor weights: Need to be looked at as there isn't a human alive who can use a sword that weighs 25lbs
> or an axe weighing 35+ lbs. Giants are a different matter of course.

> Armor and weapon size: One possibilty for using size factors in armor and weapons might be to make the smiths able
> to resize them for a fee.

And then, if you don't do it often enough, you just go anyway and get a "smelly aura" dan 06:34:32 8/16/2000 (0)
Heh. I'm not looking for THAT kind of realism. It was just a small list of things I'd thought up. Sheesh. n/t Radakh 06:04:57 8/16/2000 (0)
