Give Unarmed Combat and Melee Combat a cap..

[mipmiopin]

implement critical strike and critical miss
get the wheening to the whole new level

Why not with curiosities, though?

Is there a post that explains what these were supposed to be?

Never mind: viewtopic.php?p=175110#p175110

I'd have to see it in operation, but doesn't really look that good in my first estimation.

THought about this some more, and I can see the potential. I advocate a reset and immediate implementation.

You forgot equipment

Actually, I think melee manoeuvres could be an interesting way to offset the current superiority of UA. Maybe they could manipulate *opponent's* defence, offence and IP, but they should be inferior to UA manoeuvres since melee still deals more damage on hit. They could also be weapon-dependant, which would make room for more varied weaponry (you need a spear equipped for Brace manoeuvre, or something like that).

Awesome idea. And as for weapon-dependent maneuvers, an axes-only maneuver could finally make the B12 useful somehow

I hope loftar at least sees this and thinks about it

Isnt marc capped by Weapon Quality? so i think there should be a cap for melee/unarmed

This is the best point made in this thread so far.

A reasonable point, but one that was already made.

So, what do you think of how MC maneuvers should work? Should they have Delta multipliers, just like the current maneuvers? If so, how do you think the Delta should be calculated? Maneuver user's MC vs. Enemy's UC, or MC skill for both people? Same sort of formula, ie. sqrt(ManeuverWeight / EnemySkill)?

Punch vs Shield compares UA vs Melee, so it's logical that these would do the same. I guess some melee moves could be cool too, but that may make melee and UA a bit too similar.
