[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 4913089, member: 82504"] Raise your hands fellow Kendo enthusiasts! I am suprised the Avengers mechanic didnt come out in a Duelist/Fencer class... Anyone who is trained in fencing or dueling will have a lot of singular focus.. splitting your attention is a pain.. If you have to think about deadly secondary enemies they would be quite a bit distracted and far less able to fight. How Warriors manage all those awesome multi-opponent fighting I will never know... maybe it is the armor. Based on real life fencing ... Against a single opponent your attacks are your defenses it isnt an armor of faith but rather an armor of focus... so it could be reasonable to make it a generic defense bonus and have it apply to just a single enemy, ofcourse realistically its useable with light weapons or versatile weapons only... and you might get a bonus on your critical chances (as compensation for not getting a fullblade etc). Anyway fighting clumped together is something one is trained for .. and fighting one on one is too. The Avenger needs a Challenge / Heckling and Questioning their manhood tempting target Power which draws the enemy away from his buddies perhaps against his better judgement (forced move charge with a penalty at the end instead of getting to attack your enemy gets attacked) [/QUOTE]
