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? _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

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. _________________ Life is grand. Then you become a surfer with a keen interest in thrilling acts of life-threatening stupidity and realize that the only real life, is the one full of fun times.

trip's a blunt weapon attack. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

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? _________________ Life is grand.

you need a blunt weapon to use it AFAIK. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

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. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

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. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

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