Have you noticed we have an inventory system, not a strict "you can only carry one thing in each hand" system like SoI?  Personally, I'm a fan of inventory.
You know what? In combat, if you pick up a fallen longsword while dual wielding scimitars, I think that's fucking retarded. While in combat, you can only pick up something if one or more hands are free - It makes sense. So that raiders can't '>disarm; disarm; get all' like an unrealistic twink.

We still have "inventory" room but we aren't suddenly able to 'get all' while in combat, anymore.

If you really want to disarm & steal someone's weapon to keep them from fighting back, then you'll have to sheathe one weapon so you can grab up the fallen weapon/item.

It would stop the combatant who has his hands full from picking up another weapon. If they -really- want to pick it up, they can sheathe a weapon. Imagine someone with two weapons trying to pick up another weapon -whilst- fighting.
This is a very nice idea and would -love- to see it implemented into Arm 1.0.

I still say one should be able to kick the weapon into another room, or something else to keep a weapon from be retrievable while maintaining a realistic ideal of not being able to pick it up with full hands. Argue as you may, if you limit one aspect you should offer an alternative aside from sheathing a weapon, because kicking it out of range would not require that action being taken.

I often hear the jingle to -Riunite on ice- when I read the estate name Reynolte, eve though there ain't no ice in Zalanthas.

You already knock the weapon out of the room if you're badass enough.

If you're not badass enough, you can't.

Quote from: VanthSynthesis, you scare me a little bit.

My question on this, is how people find this to be an issue, when the disarmee can pick up their weapon before the disarmer, in most engagements. The disarmee gets an attack of opportunity to the person stopping combat, just like regular DnD, and regular DnD allowed it. You stopping to pick up the weapon is you pausing in the combat, rolling over the weapon, grabbing it, and tucking it somewhere.

Masks are the Armageddon equivalent of Ed Hardy shirts.

In D&D there are ways to avoid attacks of opportunity too, but those don't exist in Armageddon.

Depends on your offensive/defensive skills, I believe.

For NPCs to stop picking everything up that is in a room. 
1. It's annoying.
2. Some of us like to drop/arrange items to add flavor and variety to the world.

Larger range for weight in certain races.

From my damn cooking experience:
Change the text on the skills list:

novice  -> You suck.
apprentice -> Wow, done it how many times? You still suck.
journeyman -> Think you're getting somewhere huh?
advanced -> Just like grandma.
master -> Thought you were dead. Oh, you still suck.

Hells yeah.

I once played a massively obese man. I was disappointed with how narrow the weight range is. In the end, I just chose the heaviest weight and hoped anyone who noticed would be able to suspend their disbelief.

I believe ".i" may be what you're looking for.

A decent editor.  One that formats nicely.  One that has some sort of substitute command (like "1,10 subs/black/ebony" to substitute all instances of black with ebony in range lines 1 to 10).  One that shows you what you have written while in it (like "1,10" to show lines 1 to ten), can take you to a specific line (like "5" to get to line five).  Nevermind commands to delete out one specific line, append another line behind your current line, insert a line in front of you current line, etc.

This would likely have to be a two state editor...ie one state like we have now where you write, and one state where you save, substitute and do all the other commands.

I want white-robed templars (or some appropriate analogue) to be attached to Allanaki military units during major campaigns to ensure that proper devotion is shown.  "Political officers," if you will.

I have no idea whether this makes good IC sense or matches the sekret docs.

That would be hella cool. But you need major battle campaigns first and foremost.

My random tiny want: somebody start a god damn war. I'd love to see a major civilization get vanquished, or just several hundred soldiers killed (again) before my arm career meets its end.
