Cannot stab bunnies

Combat is clearly pretty broken. You need 2 initiative points before you can take a swipe, but rabbits run away before you have 2 initiative points.

When a grown man cannot even stab a bunny something is wrong

Have you ever tried to stab a wild bunny in real life?

For that matter have you ever tried to run after something that doesn't even come up to your knees and stab it? Running full tilt after something that can run faster than you can, while bent over double to get your knife near enough to the ground is going to be tricky. It makes sense to me.

If you don't believe me, I suggest you irritate and infuriate your neighbours by running after all the feral and timid cats in your neighbourhood. You don't need to stab them, just successfully grab them before they can get under a fence or car, or climb up a garage or something. If you can do this 9 times out of 10 when the cat doesn't know you or trust you I will admit that it should be easier to stab a wild bunny than it is in game.

Please post results,including the damage you take, if any, from colliding with cars, rosebushes, pavement and bewildered bystanders.

Punching wild rabbits and cocks results in instant death.

Did it. Was easy. Catching them isn't the hard part. its letting go of them after they start attacking you.

Trav, your argument is in the wrong foot, isn't it? I'm surprised you're not arguing that bunnies should stay away from you and be camouflaged so that people don't even realize they exist unless they're highly observant.

Why? I would feel that punching a bunny in the face would be so much more satisfying then stabbing one.
