AG: heavy weapons From: "T. Woods" <twoods@blue.weeg.uiowa.edu> Date: Wed, 21 Jun 1995 00:00:00 +0000 Has anybody heard anything recent on the new heavy weapons in the game? When will they be available? Any final changes? Maybe even a run down of them? Also when (I'm assuming they'll be introduced into the game SOMEDAY) they're introduced I think people who don't dodge/retreat will have to change they're defense. Without the heavy weapons you already need intelligent parry. There are some attacks that you DO NOT want to try to parry. But these weapons will mean that the type of character that just parries exclusively will lose everytime vs. someone using these weapons. The combination of the high strength needed to use these weapons and the amount of damage the weapons do means NOBODY will be able to parry ALL the damage from these weapons ALL the time (I'd even say most of the time!). Also this could have a drastic change while adventuring. Nowadays even creatures that a really big and can do alot of damage can't take out high power level characters in 1-2 swings (unless they're not wearing any armor!). But the damage potential of these new weapons means one lucky blow (not just a death blow) could drop a character. Something to think about. Later, Todd Referenced By Up
