UA attacks dont pierce

[Hervarth]

Not sure if intended or not - in the old world they had ~30% pierce I think?

Could make UA too strong to have this though, with the current set of 1 total MC things I've found...

Moving to C&I.

Will consider armor piercing in general.

[Hervarth]

Animal attacks also, though everyone will hate me :/ - maybe damage that pierces should only be shp?
(none seem to pierce, apart from possibly bears, my testing has been very limited)

[jorb]

We haven't really considered piercing at all yet, that is correct.

I really really don't want piercing damage on ants and bats. It's nice to be able to get to a point where I don't have to slog through them continuously. But foxes+ definitely should have it.

I suppose UA in general needs some kind of armor pierce. We're already at the age of bronze, and bronze armor will make essentially all UA attacks ping completely.

Should blunt meat club pierce? Should fists really hurt someone in bronze armour? At the very least it should take away initiative or make them lose footing or some other indicator that they lost momentum but to actually pierce armour with fists seems silly...

It might be silly, but it's also stupidly effective.

Yeah I agree.

I dunno how much we should focus on realism. And the damage done through armour should be pretty low anyway... so if you like that does correspond to the character being mildly winded or something. Whereas a good chop can end someones life much quicker.
