I'll go ahead and edit the proposal to specify the prerequisite of Skill +1/Backstab +2/Strength +1 for ease and overall better mechanics balance.
Also, I've made the poll for the stamina table replacements. I know this and the other replacement ideas probably haven't been discussed enough, but we don't want to risk prolonging the release of the new version of the book too much. http://aldeon.createaforum.com/2016-errata-votes/replacing-the-stamina-table/ Posted by: hjordanr« on: September 21, 2016, 08:12:01 am »I think the way it's laid out right now it hadn't been decided whether or not you would need Skill +1/Backstab +2/Strength +1 to use these innate effects. I would agree that you should need to have some skill in the weapon beyond basic proficiency in order to take advantage of its unique qualities.

Posted by: JessicaE« on: September 20, 2016, 09:22:30 am »I had an another idea for a stamina table replacement based on some of what I heard people brainstorming during errata. Heath and Aaron helped me to flesh this out.
The concept is each weapon type is granted a free use of a specific special attack or defense once per day. This is limited to only those attacks/defenses with Skill +1 as their prereqresite. The character would need to have at least Skill +1/Backstab +2/Strength +1 before having access to this ability. Here's what we've come up with so far for the types and what attacks/defenses they get: Small Bladed- Feint Small Blunt- Waylay Short Bladed- Pierce Short Blunt- Deaden Long Bladed- Critical Strike Long Blunt- Deflect Two-Handed Bladed- Disarm Two-Handed Blunt- Trip Great Bladed- Break Weapon Great Blunt- Break Weapon Bow- Critical Strike Crossbow- Pierce Brawl- Capture Weapon Sling- Deaden Atl-atl- Critical Strike I know Waylay is a stealth skill rather than a special attack, but we thought it'd be more fitting than any of the special attacks we had to work with. However since it is one of the big tricks for rogues, we could limit its use exclusively to those with Backstabs. Also, if you guys like this idea Heath thought it might be good to combine it with Zach's suggestion for headed weapons doing more damage. |
