discusion: THE MOD
Okay i don't know if this is right thing to do, but i think we need a oficial discusion-forum.
I will start.....now:
I had a look about the weapons and the dam bonus and i have some problems:
polearms should get bonus from dex and not so much from str
javelins should get more dam bonus from str. and fewer from dex
throwing axes are to strong ???(50/50?)
How many paladins do you know which play without a shield? I think the Barb should get the stav or you make a blockchance on the staves.
Thats all...

Re: discusion: THE MOD
hmm. i am not so ultimately happy about the topic name, since this entire forum is for discussing the mod, and i dont want to have all the discussion in just one thread, cause its nicer to have it in several ones (i think), cause thats more concise. so next time, choose a better title please .
however, here some answers:

yes, that might be true. i might add a bit dex bonus there, quite like for swords.VonHundengebissen";p="122301" wrote:polearms should get bonus from dex and not so much from str
dont think so, why? to handle a javelin, you need to have quite some dexterity. btw, it was 75/75 in vanilla LOD i think.VonHundengebissen";p="122301" wrote:javelins should get more dam bonus from str. and fewer from dex
axes in general are "strong" here. but they deal in general less damage. its for characters that either are very offensive (vew points in vitality) or use skills that dont give damage bonus / give few damage bonus (zeal / fanaticism for example, which gives no damage bonus at all, or doubleswing)VonHundengebissen";p="122301" wrote:throwing axes are to strong ???(50/50?)
anyone may use the staff. i wanted to implement blockchance on staves, but its a bit hard, at least it was in 1.09. havent tried in 1.10 yet. btw, i am willing to try a non-shield paladin .VonHundengebissen";p="122301" wrote:How many paladins do you know which play without a shield?

Re: discusion: THE MOD
You are right, Char. Next time i should take a specific name for the thread.
And the things you mentioned (?) are good, i think you are right. (I LOVE polearms )
One thing at last: what is with the stacksize of the throwingweapons ? Please say that you increase it. PLZ

Re: discusion: THE MOD
Maybe to increase the use of stave, paladins can have holy staff (with a better name of course) it increases block chance and damage. Basically holy shield only opposite (35 mana, increase is the same)

Re: discusion: THE MOD
Oooh, that brings up an interesting point--is it possible to block with a staff? It SHOULD be, but do the game mechanics allow it? That would be an interesting change . Although I personally would have the staff be a Druid (or equivalent) weapon instead, since in the 'official' Dungeons and Dragons rulebook (not that we're abiding by it, mind), Druids aren't supposed to ever touch metal...

Re: discusion: THE MOD
been a while, but I thought druids were allowed the hand scythe also, being it is a symbol of their faith in that it is primarily used for harvest....but that is off topic....back on topic, doesnt the assassin use weapon block, if so, does 1.10 make this easier to use on the other characters? Not sure of either, thought I read somewhere that assassin did, cant remember off the top of my head. Also, my modding experience is not that great, I am just starting out myself, lookin through the files and everything to see what makes everything work and stuff like that, so anything I may say should prolly be ignored when it comes to suggestions!

Re: discusion: THE MOD
hmm.
if i understood your question right, it lead into the direction "cant you use weapon block on other characters as well".
i am not entirely sure, but i think you can. if you can, i am going to implement stave block as a passive skill for all characters, the passive will be granted automatically (you won't even see its there), so you effectively can just block with a stave as if it was a shield or as if you used asassin weapon block with two katars. this will be interesting since dexterity will increase damage on staves as well as block rating.

Re: discusion: THE MOD
Yes, you understood and answered my question....I tend to ramble sometimes, that, and its late at night (early morning?)(06:20am) and I am working, so not quite thinking straight anymore and have almost 6 more hours ahead of me....sorry for the confusion!

Re: discusion: THE MOD
Um, I'm a bit confused here. Asn weapon block works different from shield block. Weapon block is not affected by dexterity in any way, while shield block is. So will staff block give you a flat chance to block (like weapon block), or a chance based on dex (like a shield)?Char";p="124265" wrote:so you effectively can just block with a stave as if it was a shield or as if you used asassin weapon block with two katars. this will be interesting since dexterity will increase damage on staves as well as block rating.
Just on a side note, you can basically 'block' with just about any weapon (at least melee attacks, blocking arrows with a weapon is a bit unrealistic). Just watch some olympic fencing or sword fighting movies. Now I'm not saying that this should be done, it would be a bit unbalancing. I can see where you might want to implement blocking on staves, maybe we're going to see some more staff-wielding sorcs then.

...and some monk-style paladins.
block on staves will be influenced by dex and level, just like normal block is, due to the amazing things that can be done with the new skills.txt .
