[QUOTE="Fallen Seraph, post: 4244099, member: 57894"] I'm just gonna break down that post to show how it would work from a logical perspective: [B]Does the rogue "empower" his weapons with kinetic energy, because he can slide even dragons or golems with certain attacks?[/B] Now of course this depends on the ability, we have seen some which only work on one size above and below. The manner in which a Rogue would go about sliding a Dragon or a Golem can vary, for example with a Golem: A Rogue could lodge a dagger in a leg mechanism causing it to stutter in its steps and "slide". With a Dragon: The Rogue goes about slipping in small attacks that annoy and frustrate the Dragon, causing the beast to try and move aside. Essentially, not every slide is the PC literally pushing the enemy himself. [B]Does the warlord have some sort of "psychic control" over allies and opponents, as he can also move them around and grant them extra actions? [/B] The warlord's abilities set up circumstances from which the other PCs can act, he sets up openings and such. So the other PCs can gain the chance to move and/or attack when normally they wouldn't. Same thing with the enemies, his abilities shove opponents out of the way or frightens them/disorganizes them. [B] And why only certain fighters can attempt to trip their opponents?[/B] We already know this is not the case from the other thread. But it makes sense that a fighter be more able then say a Wizard for example in tripping more effectively and able to deal out additional effects then a Wizard. Since he has trained in doing so, thus he understands how to trip more effectively and deal additional effects, ie: Trip and then stomps on head. [/QUOTE]
