Offense/defense idea

[sacac]

The really awesome fighter for the north out to kill a few Borsail nobles says in sirihish, to the fancy borsail guy, "No sir. Never fought a day in my life."

I like it.
But then I don't like it.
I don't know why I don't. I just don't.

This idea is good and really not twinkish or abusive in any way or form since basically we are asking for the ability to be worse in skills then we really are...It is basically an RP tool we are asking for...one which is very realistic, IMO....think about it, how many of us can't fake being bad at something we are good at.

So long as if you set it to work in a way negative offensively or defensively you gain nothing as far as learning from it. If not...absolutely no to this idea.

Well, here's my two cents on this idea. I can see where it can be pretty useful
such as the borsail guy situation mentioned before, but it is somewhat
limited. That said, though its limited in its usefulness it isn't a bad idea.

In addition to this idea, if it were to be implemented in, perhaps it should
have a skill attached to it to fake offense/defense. The way I see it a
person wouldn't intend to get major wounds, the skill would be, in essence,
a way to fake your defense while taking only minor cuts from an enemy
instead of major ones. Also, if in retrospect the one to fake offense would,
while you're still not very good at it, cause a bad side effect of lowering
your defense and making you take accidental blows from your enemy
from time to time due to you actively trying to do worse. You'll screw up.

Otherwise, ain't a bad idea.
