More shields & 2H weapons?

Post by Thystonius »

When two handed combat will be available, there better be some real good shield or all my characters will be dualwielding berserkers :-)

---------------------Combined Double posts------------------------------------------------------

Besides 2H, will dualwielding actually become possible? Two handed should do high damage but cost lots of AP, have high AC but negative effects on BC. Using small shields of the buckler class is the maximum. Dualwielding should have low AP or double hits (each weapon) with average AP, double weapons should have little negative or no effect on BC. Single weapons makes separate shield wielding possible, which should have negative effects on AC, high BC and in some cases DR (heavy shields like tower shields) and in some cases less cost to move (light shields make it easier to flee and block attacks with light weapons, but should be less effective against enemies with 2H weapons, you need tower shields to effectively block that).

Current shields do not make enough difference to sacrafice all the extra damage. Also, some weapons and shields could carry spell resistance (if something like spells ever get implemented) or a simpler version, effects like strong mind, pure blood or dark protection of the shadow.

What are your thoughts?

I wasn't directing that specifically at you Sarumar. "You" is everyone who reads the post.
