I was looking at the Mercenary triple-trainable skill list and I was just curious as to how acrobatics, athletics, craftmanship, and handle animal benefit a Mercenary. Athletics and acrobatics I could see an rp reason but I don't see any visible benefits. Any help would be much appreciated. _________________ -Ronst Gahn |

Athletics has uses but not for combat. However uses were intended for combat at that time.
Acrobatics is the same, except that it does have one combat use -- to help you recover from knockdowns.
Craftsmanship is intended to be the skill for weapon repair /craft but that won't be in until live and will primarily be an Artisan thing but we at the time felt Mercs may benefit from making it a little easier for them to self-repair.
Handle Animal was added because it had been intended for Mercs to have attack dogs, which we'd still like to do at some point. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

It's a movement skill like climbing and swimming. It's used when you have to jump a gap, swing on a rope, that sort of thing, I believe.

Athletics is also used for football. _________________ ** The phrase "break a leg" just wasn't ambitious enough for Mellie Knight. [8:31 pm]

I think it also helps with flips, cartwheels, somersaults, and handstands. I'm sure that acro and agil help, and I heard that athletics does. I also thing that it may help with LEAPing in combat (which will be very helpful later, with an engagement thingy... I can get to melee basically instantly, with no stamina loss).
I just remember hearing those things a while ago, but I could definitely be wrong. |
