blackjack:
must be hiding/stalking
does damage
can possibly knockdown
can possibly stun for extended duration

trip:
no damage
always does knockdown
always stuns for normal duration

as of now, i find trip a lot more useful than blackjack. am i doing something wrong on my end, or should i wait to get more skill before expecting blackjack to really do knockouts more consistently?

Is trip a profession-based skill? Or is it just reliant on tactics/weapon skill?

I never knew about trip until the other day I got it into my head ... "Well, I -am- using a chain-like weapon. I wonder if I can trip a critter?" Though, oddly enough, you can't trip with a llirae chain affixed with a gleaming titanium sickle or a length of chain affixed with a short blade at one end. I would have figured, you know, chain goes 'round feet from pilum range and yank! Down goes opponent?


Mebbe I'll just have to use a trident or something. Mebbe a net.

trip's a blunt weapon attack.

Not meaning to derail your thread, Soundless, but does that mean it is reliant on the blunt weapon skill to use? Or is it capable with other weapons, so long as they deal blunt damage?

You need a weapon that isn't sharp but it doesn't have to be in the blunt weapons category. A blunt polearm, for instance, will do. A non-sharp weapon can most easily be identified as one that you can't use to skin with.

So could I trip with a shotgun? It does blunt damage and is not sharp. Sorry don't mean to derail further just a curiousity.

Trip expressly forbids archery, marksmanship and pulse primary weapons. I didn't design this code, I assume it was done purely for simplification.

Oh ok, didn't have the chance to test it myself. But that makes sense I suppose.
