Duke Knight's Momentum is up for revision? Which version of the skill would you prefer?

Current one, unchanged.
+4 AS and +5 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.
+2 AS and +3 DMG on Player Phase, with additional +2 AS and +2 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.
+1 AS and +1.5 DMG for each space moved up to 4 spaces.
Current one but AS bonus is converted to DR from the end of the Player Phase until the next one.
I don't know but I want to see the results.

PTW and weigh in.

Personally I feel the Knight should keep SOMETHING as otherwise they take an Armor-Killer weakness for not much gain (at least the flying and mounted units get increased mobility, better Rescue capabilities, and in the Nomad's case, the ability to move again after attacking). I'm fine with 5 or less physical damage since that's what the knight is made for (DEF-tanking).

PTW, and commenting that Haspen has made a ruling that Knights get armored back, however it is only against physical attacks and at strength 4.

I agree with the decision, happy they get something. I wouldn't see the harm in raising it to five, but I prefer four at the least.

I pretty much agree with Xan and Ser, either 4 or 5 sounds pretty good really.

I think all mounted units can move after attacking, it's just that melee ones don't always want to.

As for Knights, I'd say 4, for physical and magical. If it's late enough in the game that he has high enough resistance to only take 4 damage from a magic attack(which means they're probably using Wind magic...), he deserves to have that little bit of protection.

If only physical, though, five seems good.

Though, really, I feel like it should be 3 or so at the beginning of the game, and scale to 6 as they level up. Maybe a tenth of HP or 3, whichever is greater?

I think we're onto something here. Scaling armored limit based on a percentage of HP/DEF.
Who likes this idea?

It could be a tenth of DEF, plus 2 or 3. So it starts at 3 or so, goes up to 6 if you max your DEF stat.

EDIT: Could be the same against Magic, using Resistance instead, and adding a smaller number, so it'll be maybe 4 or 5 if you manage to max RES.

DOUBLEDIT: Also, 1.22 may be weird, but you have to admit the format is a lot nicer.

btw, seriously does anybody in the entire internet have any idea where these books came from and who made them? I know Haspen got them from another B12ver or something which just raises more questions >_<

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

I haven't the foggiest, unfortunately.  I used to know, because I received both 1.20 and 1.22 from there, but unfortunately, I no longer have that link, and the handbooks themselves don't state their origin.

This seems like a good idea.  Gives knights something useful, without making it overpowering.

So Armoured with 2 base + 10% of DEF seems good?
Only for physical damage or both?

I like both.  Notionally, magical damage would be countered by adding 10% of RES instead, but they tend to get terrible RES.
