Saturday 4/14 ?

Yeah, that sounds like a fine idea. I just got tired of getting scarred up and knocked outta the battle after every opponent. So, I started focusing on dodge. =) Don't need no armour if they can't hit me.

Now that I think about it, I think defending with my staff would be more interesting. Sort of an impenetrable whirring of my staff that no one can break through....

 

[Fyrestryke]

That would be cool. You'll want to get your staff skill really high and parry everything. Unfortunately, part of every hit gets through anyways. Should be some way to circumvent that without carrying a log around...

 

[Grimhelm]

Yes, I've been thinking abou that aspect of the game too. Something should indicate that when a blow is parried, it is parried and that no damage gets through. The flip side of this is that when a blow does get through, your character should be hurting.

 

[Fyrestryke]

Yeah, I need to sit down and read the parrying rules sometime. Mayhaps we're doing it wrong?

I got a legendary ability called Avoidance. It replaces Dodge. Basically, if I fail a dodge, instead of getting hit on a normal strike, I take minimal damage, and if it's a crit that I don't dodge, it's just normal damage. Or some such. I have a chart I can show you next time. =)

I thought about trying to take Avoidance. I certainly have the Dex for it. Not the Dodge skill YET.

 

[Fyrestryke]

To me, out of all of the legendary abilities in both of the books I have, Avoidance is the best one of them all. But, it takes a lot of work in Dodge to get it. I spent something like 15 ability increases to get my Dodge to 97%.

Well, I believe I am in the mid 70s or low 80s now. I had a 69 after I took my armor off!

Go for it! =)

BTW - Where the heck did a discussion come from? On this board? WOW!
