Title: Brutal block
Post by: Geryon on December 28, 2007, 09:37:33 pm
Please add maces and flails and remove whips from brutal blocking. Will add some variety to outcasts weapon choice.

i was under impression brutal block worked for axe and sword only.

If you added more however , you might as well add for cross block ass well (knighs equivlent)

- sword , axe or whip actually, seems plenty...crossblock is only mace and sword.     3to2

i always favoured brutal block because it works with only one weapon, and by that instance, wearing
two weapons gave double chances?. cross block you need to be dual wielding. sort of like flourentine with some flexibility.

knights anyway have no use in any dual weapons other than swords (riposte+righteous warfare), so giving them crossblock with other weapons won't affect much

I hate that your forced to dual wield all the time

- true, knights and paladins in fantasy worlds commonly wear a shield.  too bad no one likes shields or that shields are no fun.

No one likes shields because of crappy shield block and shield being cleft easily. During the times of shield specialization knights ran about with shields only.

Which is how it should be, i knight with no shield is naked... or using a big twohanded sword or something, which there is also no real skillset for...
