I'd like to bring up this idea again because I think it's a good
one. Sorry if you don't agree :P
Martial Artists, especially dragon masters, are highly skilled
beyond belief. It's especially silly that they don't know how fast
their skills are going to go off. Dragon possession, especially,
takes a long time and it's VERY nice to know if you are using it,
and how many rounds are left. You can check yourself using actions
or party actions command, but you won't get the # of rounds
remaining. Ok, if you are skilled at the guild it's not a HUGE
deal, but I always found it an annoyance not to know if i was Dragon
Possessing, or, if I did know that, how much time was left, because
hell I was eager to get more tiger claws in.
Essence eye works for skills.. It would be FARGIN COOL if
someone copied it, renamed it "Inner Awareness" or some such, and
moved it to all fighter guild like alphas. Would be nice for
champion trance too I'd imagine. Heck, if you think it's over
powered or maybe should be something special, put it in omicrons.
At least Martial artists should have it.
Also don't suggest that joining mage secondary is a useful option.
Anyone would rather have rogue tunnels, even me :) I don't see how
this idea could do anything except make the guild more playable and
fun, and isn't that what the game is about? No real downside here
for the MUD, although the wiz who is kind enough to implement this
will have to invest some time/energy, which I appreciate. If
anything, maybe it's an idea that can sit on someone's backburner
until they are bored :P
Thanks for listening to more switchspew, stay tuned

subject: the question is . . .
date: Sat Aug 9 17:45:23 2003
Say I'm a WARRIOR with an AWESOME HAMMER OF CRUSHING! woooo me!
ok well i believe that hammer of crushing does asphyxiation damage
so I understand this to mean that my melee hits will be doing asphyxiation
damage.
my question is - does the dtype for charge and deathblow change
to asphyxiation as well? Considering the way the skills work (they are
executed with a weapon, in this case a hammer of crushing)
Or does the dtype remain physical? I believe it remains physical
but if anyone thinks they know for sure I'd like to know.
If you are wieldinga non-phys damage weapon, and it doesn't
alter the dtype of
your offensive skills, maybe it should. Or, maybe not, it might
unbalance the
warrior guild. But it would still be pretty cool :)

if i remember correctly, there was a post from i believe sigwald a
long while ago, about him changing the skills to do the damage you
doing with a weapon, i'm too lazy to look right now, but it's
possibly in archives of inform.

Hi, I'm sure a post on charge has been posted but...
I cannot charge right after killing any mob, perhaps because
I'm still considered to be in combat.
However, the mob is dead so I am not really in combat..
Just wondering if this might get changed to ending the combat round
right after death.

Yeah it's been posted and complained about. But the combat round
ends on the hb not on monster death as i understand it. It would be
nice to be able to instantly charge again but alas that's something
they havn't been able to come up with a good fix for. My advice is
to wait 1 second before moving rooms and charging again, or just let
your blasters go on your charge etc.
At least it's not a 5 round skill anymore...

I'm sure this has been mentioned before as well, but i missed it so...
I never seen those work, ever, only trained to 100% but shouldn't they
work like every couple rounds or something
I thought those skills were pretty cool in other games
but have never seen them activated here...

I am not sure about riposte message, but counterdodge at least
happens frequently.

I Concur, I see both these messages frequently. I see more ripostes
when I am parrying (gasp). Or maybe I am just trippin.

Combat silent on stops all the counterdodge and riposte messages.
Maybe that's why some people don't see them?

Yeah. Can't see riposte or counterdodge when combat silent. Also, if
monster is stunned it won't trigger either counterdodge or riposte
for fairly obvious reasons.

offhand I think Riposte only works when you're parrying, but it does work

Umm, traditionally risposte is when someone attacks you, you parry
and follow their sword hand around, opening for a free hit on their
arm/hand/side without fear of a trading blow.
so riposte should only come off when they are hitting you, and it is
uberly difficult to do irl with a shield. It is actually classed as
an offensive swordplay manuevre. but that is IRL, so here it may not
be the same,
i do however see the message "You counter something with a flick of
the wrist etcetc" cant remember them exactly but i do see them. just
not very often, cause iut is actually quite difficult to do.
T-Bones two cents.

is working, and has been working, to my expereience has not
significantly changed
It works only when you successfully parry a blow
if u dodge, tumble, or get hit it wont work
TFM
and parry will work anytime, but if you raise your parry %, you of
course parry more often
from what I have seen, even if riposte works, it doesnt do as much
dmg as a normal hit

Actually, MA should be able to kill with weapons. I suppose MA is a
guild that idea comes from chinese kung-fu (gong-fu for different
spelling)... According to what I know, Kung-fu can be performed with
weapons. The idea of martial artists using free hand is probably
from people watching shows/movies (watever) and Shaolin monks were
using free hand to fight...
I would be free at the end of this year and I would be learn about
coding, perhaps I would re-code MA?

Unless I'm mistaken, Kung Fu was a derived form of martial arts. The
original arts themselves were done without weapons, in the theme of
building body and mind

uhm well i know ju-jutsu (and karate nd judo that comes from
ju-jutsu) is an art that samurai started.
there also is wepond teknices in the tachings, but at very high
grades.. allhtough i don think MA in this game should have weponds,
makes guilkds to simular imo.

We allready have the warrior guild, we do not need the warrior guild with a new name. The whole point of MA guild was that there were no weapons, and it is as far as I can tell, well made, well balanced and kicks ass, so why would you want to re-code it? If you get good enough and got the time, there is plenty other stuff for you to do, I am sure they could put you to work on strongholds.

Yes, Kung-fu is originally with free hand. However, I believed that
it has went through processes and became an art involving weapons.
And to moridin: MA can be different that MA uses weapon but not
armors, MA don't use armors(which adds weight) but uses speed...
More to add, martial arts is an ancient skill that was kept improved
from people to people, so it would actually contain quite a bit of
each guild...
