Also, there's no processing like that happening. The architecture behind items is completely different than what you're used to in TRPG, Tribes and T2.

Bludgeoning's special is

- Bashing

- or head bash

- or crippling blow (crushes enemy arm or leg)

Slashing's special is

- Disembowel

- or Hamstring

- or Neck slash

Piercing's special is

- Backstabbing

- vital thrust (same thing but not with the behind connotation)

Archery's special is

- Kyujustu (ok it's japanese, it means 'the way of the ... traditionally it's the technique of firing without aiming because if all is aligned, 'the arrow knows the way') - i'd just make this have a much better hit chance

- or overdraw (when you pull the bow beyond its normal draw length for more power)

- or pin (slows the enemy by pinning him to the wall or through his foot)

Offensive Casting's special is

- essence overdrain

- or channeling

- or overpower(ing)

i like mana burn even though it has M:TG connotations.

generally i like the idea of expending some of your own energy (HP) for better spell effect.

I like the double arrow thing for archery.

Cleaving . Hrmmm maybe a special skill for slashing that targets the enemies weapon or shield in effect dealing large amouts of damage to the items in effect damageing or destroying them. I think that would be a better skill for slashing.

Bashing I think this should be tuned down a bit with 1000 bashing you could knock someone across the entire map. It just isn't right maybe tuning this would be good.

Maybe a focusing attack for mages that increases the damage of thier spells or increases recovery time.

Overall I think we should do subskills. Where you would have a main skill and under it 5 or so sub skills. If you improve the main skill all skills improve a little but if you improve a sub skill only that one impoves. Like swordsmen wouldnt be as good with a axe if he has been using a sword most his life and vice versa. so you could have under slashing a subskill of swords, axes and Cleaving.

#powerup

Makes a mage "heavy" so they can walk a lil bit but are powering up. And the first spell they cast does more dmg or heals/shields more. Maybe a time limit to when the power up goes away?

*****...did this ever stray off topic... sorta

I agree that the special thingies should be activated instead of being automatic, and that they could prove to be either beneficial or detrimental

If they are activated instead of a random chance, then yes, disadvantages are completly fine.

Tenabrae: Yes, it's M:TG, but it still sounds cool.

couple questions... could you possibly make it that arrows rebound? like the blaster in T2.. i think that would be really cool.. possibly one of the special attacks?

2nd question: Will spells be used like #cast or will they be weapons where you just fire and it is cast?

For Offensive Casting, something that starts with the word Summon. Summon is good by itself, but maybe add something add the end? I dunno, Summon Force, Summon Mana, Summon.. I had the word in my head a while ago.. Summon... Summon... Summon Toaster... Summon T.V. Remote....

Or maybe Convene?

Archery is a tough one, there is really no variation to shooting a bow and arrow..

I know it wasn't the intent of your original post, but if I *know* you're gonna check back on the post and its "almost" on topic... Sieze The Day! =P

Special Attacks are fun(ner)... when your a high level, impress the newbies with your ub3r skillz of Jackhammering... instead of just whacking um for 1,000 points. ; )

Mixes it up a bit and makes it more intresting than tapping a button...

Maybe for TRPG, it displays a little button on the side of the screen of all the specials you can perform, and they only pop back up after a certain ammount of time.

My Idea's arent original, just my favorites out of what people suggested

Slashing: Amadextrious- The ability to use two slashing weapons simultaneously, without loosing coordination during strike

Buldeonging: "Batter-Up!"- Weapon hits from the side, as if swinging a bat, causing massive damage to rib cage and/or kidney/liver area

Archery: "Double Team"- Two Arrows fired consecutively cauing massive damage to two main parts of human anatomy, skull and heart

how about this...you have three meter bars..

One HP
Second MP
Third Special Hit

Evertime you hit a guy it some points on the Specila Hit and once it reaches the full amount it starts flashing and this allows the player to use a power hit and does alot of damage...then the Third Meter bar goes back to the start again??

What ya think?

Bludge:

NutCracker-causes target to kneel down in pain. (hint hint: Aim for the groin)

WhipLash-weak blow towards enemy, causes stun. (Ass whiplash)

Slash:
(Note: Some Moves can only be performed with certain swords)

Broad Swing: (Broadsword) Hits multiple targets within weapon range (i.e enemies within your FOV and range will be hit)

Range Strike: (Long sword) Hit farther away, same damage though.

Executioner: (Battle Axe, only) Chance of killing enemy in one hit, other wise, does little to no damage

Claymore Cannon: (Claymore, duh) upon striking enemy, a blast line will erupt. Takes a large toll on your claymore's hp unfortunately (approx 90% of claymore HP) (If enemies are lined up, they will be harmed alot)

Pierce: N/A

Archery:

Str8Shot: Fires an arrow that goes straight, and straight through enemies too (Hits multiple targets if enemies are lined up.)

Arrow Bomb: Light up some primitive explosives, shoot it like an arrows, leaves a smoke trail, goes KABOOM on impact, whaddya got?

Offensive: N/A (or idea was already stated)

You guys need to try actually reading the thread you are posting in. That way you can see which direction things are going in and you can post ideas that may actually be relevant.

The special archery attack is firing two arrows at once in a kind of split fire formation (ala robin hood movie).
The question at hand is: What shall we call it?

Dual-Shot?
Dual-Strike?
something else?

The best way would be to have one #special command that would do the special attack of whatever weapon you were holding.
Actually, i think having special functions that require special key bindings or a chat menu would be more efficient code wise. It seems like a function call would be more efficient than parsing a ton of # commands (but what do i know).

Right now i'm thinking about a default actions menu that could be in the download
vat = throw
vae = extra attack
vam = meditate
vaz = sleep
vas = sit

Coca, see my last post.

Well, I guess the ideas about archery are ok, but how about you get a new special skill once a sertain level is reached... say...

1st level - No special skills yet.

2nd level- Enchanted Arrow - Does more damage and is a magic arrow so costs nothing, but uses up one "charge"

3rd Level- No new special abilities

4th Level- No new Special Abilities

5th Level- " " " "

6th Level- Arrow of Light - Basic fire arrow, does more damage, lights the enemy on fire, and does damage over time...

7th level- No new Special Abilities

8th Level- " " " "

9th Level- " " "

10th Level- Seeker Arrow - Arrow that traces down its enemies, even goes around corners, but can be stopped by a shield, does a little less damage then normal because of its flight velocity.

11th Level- Nothing

12th Level- Nothing

13th Level- Nothing

14th Level- Greater Enchanted Arrow - Does more damage then the regular one and takes 2 charges instead of one.

15th Level- Nothing

16th Level- Nothing

17th Level- Nothing

18Th Level- Nothing

19th Level- Nothing

20th Level- Phase Arrow - Arrow travels through any non magical type wall and seeks out the target. It flies in a straight line.

21st Level- Nothing

22nd Level- Nothing

23rd Level- Nothing

24th Level- Nothing

25th Level- Nothing

26th Level- Nothing

27th Level- Nothing

28th Level- Nothing

29th Level- Nothing

30th Level- Hail of Arrows - Archer fires several arrows at his/her enemy. Unfortuantely with the fury comes a draw back, less time for fire but less damage on all but the first arrow shot. At 50th level this skill can shoot 5 arrows.

40th Level- Poison Arrow or Cancel Arrow - Poison arrow does a 400 damage over time spell... Cancel Arrow takes away an effect, such as a magical shield or a poison, does no to little damage.

50th Level- The last special arrow in the list. Arrow of Death, instantly kills its target, its disadvantages are you can only use it once per 2 days and you cannot be very far away from your target...


I think that this list will help some people decide on archery . Its alot of fun, so I made this list to coincide :p. Cya.

...

Because your allowing weapon shield breakage you should make the slashings special target weapons and shields to do extra damage to them.

ex.

Trident_rx uses the special skill for slashing and severly damages his opponets shield.

These are some cool ideas... making me want to play even more!!!!!

But... I still think for Archery we need something more realistic and simple like Bludge's bash and pierce's backstab. Draw is my favourite idea for Archery. Or, extended draw, or something of that sort.
