Blinding speed

[deda]

In help file, it says that this feat helps to and against trip, bash, lash... Well, it's not true... When fighting Darmurk when he was 4 levels lower than me, he managed to bash me every time, regardless of the style i used, also the outers using whip manage to lash me 4/5 of the time... On the other side, i often fail bashes(mastered) and trips (not mastered)... Is it supposed to be so or am i just being paranoid?!??

IF it would work as it says in help files, it would be to powerful 

[Raider]

Its because of the way 'bash' skill works.
Minotaurs have huge bonuses, just because they are minotaurs. Plus they are larger than normal. Haste, weight and other stuff affect also.

Dodging and dexterity help avoiding bashes, but seems being minotaur helps more.

[Rialon]

I thought blinding speed help to perform bashes, trips, dirt kick, etc...

[Hiddukel]

I guess its good for minotaurs to have bonuses for this, because in my opinion a dexterous race vs minotaur race is always won by the dextrous race with a flaming weapon

P.S Not including outcasts in that

Hrokt makes a powerful backhand blow with her mace.
Hrokt's backhand devastates Siorosh.                          /едрена вош.. нада башить.. Родился минотавром -- баш!

This came in mind

Beast assassins don't use flaming weapons! So, what you want to say is: this feat helps ONLY minotaurs against and to trip, bash, lash, right? If so, it should be added to the help file...

p.s. I remember a log where an wild elf Elder fighter with a flaming weapon fought takhi mino fighter and LOST!

to Raider: what is the punchline of your post? I can't understand the comments in Russian...*duck*

[Raider]

there are a lot of online translating services. Put some effort?


in short, - "minotaurs are born to bash"


in my opinion bash works pretty weird sometimes.  Like kender fighter is able to bash a minotaur. Just because fighters get bonus to bash.  And human ranger is often unable to bash anyone. Even if the opponent of the same size.

Yes, but if you're like 3 metre high mino and trying to bash 1.2 metre high kender, you wouldn't be able to bash him 'cause you're too big and he's too small... The same logic can be applied vice versa....

I don't use online translators because my 46k dial-up connection hates them!

Mino could try to step on kender and kender could always try to bit

Bash should be automatic with 1/2 round lags and a slightly better chance of going off against fleeing opponents. And add shield bash with shield spec. Yes i managed to bring up shield spec!

[dedraelos]

Yes yes, must concur.



P.S. For those that didn't know, I'm baaaaack
