Posted: Fri May 02, 2008 7:21 pm Post subject: Weapon Roundtimes |
|
|
So, I've been doing alot of testing with how strength and coordination really affect weapons in combat, mostly testing just roundtime and damage.
I've been pulling weapon weight and weapon type into account when testing roundtimes and came up with a couple of questions.
1st. Does the type of weapon actually influence the weapon's roundtime? I imagine it would, as it's easier to strike with a punching dagger, or even two (and quicker) than it is to swing two full blown swords. I merely ask for 100% confirmation.
2nd. How exactly does weapon weight affect RT? Because after comparing weapon weights, roundtimes and weapon types I'm lead to believe that it doesn't mean as much as it should. Take for instance, the lustrous silver-edged etars weigh 7 pounds, compared to llirae longswords which weigh 4. Same stats, same everything except a minute bonus on the etars and a 3 pound differential in weight...Yet their Roundtimes are exactly the same. 9-10 (at 80-120 strength, 110+ coordination) for a slash, 8-9 for a feint. Then you have the Inaiw, Eolai wooden sparring swords that weigh 2 pounds, compared to the gheflif spikes which weigh twelve ounces...4 second feint on using two inaiws and 5 second feint with the spikes. It just makes little sense to me and I would much appreciate some clearing up. _________________ Victim: Well, what is the creed?

RT's are balanced withthe weapon's damage, neither of which are affected in any way by weight. Having a light weapon will neither help or hinder you (with exception of encumbrance.) _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

so does the feather fred just reduce the weight, or lower RT? I thought t was going to reduce the weight and in turn reduce the RT. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

Weight is generally not tied to RT. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato
