Yeah, I'm not really understanding the "issue". If you have a weapon that does one shot of 20 damage and another weapon that does 2 shots of 10 damage, you aren't doing more or less damage. In fact, if you are using ammunition that lends itself favorably to damage, you are getting double benefit from the weapon with a ROF of 2.

The rifle is not inherently less or more effective than the sidearm. In fact, the rifle is slightly more effective in that it requires less aiming time.

So I would say at this point that there is no need to tweak handguns down or rifles up. The main difference is that this specific rifle splits its damage between two shots.

Kit: You simply need more choices of what to hunt, and we're working on this. How do you fare vs. vacori or getok hounds?

Actually, I can't hit a grag at all....not even occasionally, I meant.

It says I cannot use Fly Kick with my 31 in atheletics.

...and, I'm sending you a log of a spar with a 10th level psionic that cleaned up on me. He hid, I hid. I came out and searched and it was over during my RT. Seems I should have some resistance to the attacks. Pierce, wipe, and paralyze all suceeded repeatedly. Amazing to me that with my evasion I couldn't dodge one hit.

[HR-Trevor]

Your athletics skill isn't lacking, your unarmed is.

Ok......I figured 99 was enough unarmed. Maybe next level I can use Fly kick.

Another question.....does charisman affect RT for unarmed attacks? Anya's only stat higher than me is charisma, but she has 8 second RT on pummel and mine is 10 seconds.

[HR-Trevor]

Nope, but check for stat bonuses, and also compare stances.

It was stances....thanks!

I looked more closely and found what were more or less minor math errors and rounding problems. Because there's a lot of floating point and integer translation going back and forth (and translating a float to an integer always means losing any remainder, be it .00001 or .99999) there will be some minor level of inconsistency, but I put in modifications which I believe will stablize things a little.

I also found that the damage bonus due to certain ammunitions was ridiculously high, in some cases increasing damage up to 90% above normal, and this was corrected.

just curious but were thrown weapons damage decreased recently?

Ignore this I seem to of overlooked something. I would however be curious what the best thrown weapon is out there damage wise

I really really hate to mention this since I was probably the loudest voice on the topic but since poison damage on critters was increased it seems to be REALLY effective now. Now I really dont mind at all but I am not sure if it was intended to be this much better. I am heading out to Nowbi to test it on them soon just to make sure. So far I have only tested it on kuchos and guards.
I am probably going to kick myself for even mentioning it but ah well

well heres what I got so far from hitting nowbi just enough to poison them

archers,fighters and priestess pulses 2 to 3 times before dying and usually only took one strike to poison them

Champions usually took a couple strikes to poison and then died after 3 to 4 pulses

now if I continue to strike they usually die on the first pulse due to the fact I can normally get 4 to 5 hits in before they pulse the first time

I dont know, I may have been wrong about it being to powerful because I have never actually sat back after poisoning it and just watched them die.
