Armageddon General Discussion Board

How about, You want to sparr somone,  You are kind of better than him, But if he hits you, you can be knocked out with a single -hit- how about we add a code where they can type like, Hit light, Hit medium, Hit Hard, Just a idea so if your fighting a half-giant or somone strong they can go easy on you in sparring.

You can just disengage and not attempt to fight back...

My advice:  don't spar a half-giant if you aren't one.
And have him just disengage...he won't fight back.  Perhaps a better use of existing code if you must spar a half-giant.

Realistically, even a grazing hit from a half-giant to your head/neck/chest would knock you out even if you were Mr. Uber 60-day Warrior. It's just a matter of that much mass and muscle connecting with your head.

I actually think i suggested somthing like this awhile back. Basically I just said have three different settings 5 settings all offense, mostly offense, balanced, mostly defense, and all defense. Respectively if you had mostly defense then you'd be getting a bonus to defensive capabilities and a penalty on offensive capabilities. That way you can choose to go easy on them or choose to go berserk if your character is angry and just wants to do as much damage as possible without care to his own health.

I just voted no, only because I think disengage has this covered.

And also, if you're worried about the other party or yourself not being able to disengage in time, there's always flee.

Just say, "Hey, Joe-Bob Half-Giant, if you whack me in the head with your club, run afterward."

I would like to see the delay removed from disengage. I find it both unrealistic and inconvenient  that you can't cease attacking for a fair amount of time after initating a fight or using a combat maneuver. Hitting someone just once is literally impossible.
