initial hamstring feedback

[soundless]

so my evil little agent now has hamstring!

a few thoughts on it:

1) a lot harder to pull off than hobble.
2) things i can hobble i can't hamstring.
3) when dual-wielding and using hamstring, it attacks with the right handed weapon twice instead of the right once and the left once. but i think it's just messaging because the freds on the left handed weapon do trigger.
4) attacks from missile like ambush does (which is a known bug, i think).
5) for some reason poison applies before the damage is done.
6) you can target non-leg bodyparts.
7) i land hits to body parts that don't exist anymore (aka: completely destroyed)
speaking of completely destroyed, i'm surprised i can completely destroy a leg or foot in one hit, but it doesn't trigger hamstring doing anything fancy message-wise.

In regard to the missle range thing, all the stealth attacks I think do this, ambush, hamstring, and assassinate.

oh and like ambush:

10) the left handed weapon doesn't apply poison ever.

[Script]>hamstring kucho

The Modan Kucho's legs are already sufficiently mangled. Perhaps you should try picking on something else.

That's what it tells you when you try to hit legs that are completely destroyed, or it does for me anyway.

EDIT: Ok, I see what you mean, when attacking with two weapons, my first hit hit a destroyed part, while the second hit took out the last not destroyed part.


[Script]>You leap out of your hiding place and catch the Modan Kucho by surprise!
You catch the Modan Kucho behind the knee, cleanly hamstringing him.
The Modan Kucho is completely dazed by the attack!
The Modan Kucho reels and falls flat on his back!
You send the Modan Kucho tumbling to the ground with a quick slash to the achilles tendon.


That isn't fancy enough messaging for you?

I do find it odd though that a creature can stand with completely destroyed legs and feet....
