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.

Allow choice upon beginning of each map

I doubt anyone would pick that option for any reason other than to troll us...

Please excuse the double-post, but I have a question concerning Personal Skills.

Are you able to use the +5 Health Recovered effect with any of the conditions?
Skill 1: If over 1/2 HP, recover 5 health.
Skill 2: If under 1/2 HP, recover 5 health.

This is legal yes/no?

We do technically have a character with such an effect, but I'd personally never allow that. Its like getting Regen at max for free. So, I guess that is up to the GM, but I'd personally say that's a terrible, terrible idea to allow such a thing.

As a blanket statement, all personal skills are up to the GM.

Sounds like a monster-only trait for a trolloid creature.

Yeah, lots of trolloids around here, but Xan said it, it's all up to the GM.

Also, the people has spoken. Haspen wins again :V

Fack. Oh well, can't win 'em all.

What shall we work on next? If there's nothing else, I suggest a change to Wrath.

Specifically, I think its activation range should be widened to half health or below, rather than 30% or below, and the crit bonus dropped from 40 to 25. This way, characters with Wrath don't need to be a stiff breeze from death to activate their character skill, and the effect on the crit rate is not quite so severe in exchange.

I view the +5 health skill as added to hp recovering moves so one would be 'use vern, are you over half health? Yes? 5 more hp is healed.

It worded as '+(plus)5 hp recovered' not '5 hp recovered' point so it only add to active hp recovering(regen skills are passives hp recovering).

PS are pretty much all you can imagine and the GM lets slide.

If we change Wrath shouldn't we change Resolve too?

If we do, I don't know how we'd change it. A 1.5 multiplier is fairly neat, and aside from adjusting that, the only other change I could see would be dropping one of the buffed stats. If it was a free skill, we could just make it cost and increase the activation range. But obviously that won't work.

But seeing as it increases your speed by half, and therefore boosts your evasion, I don't think it's so bad to be in that danger zone, at least as much as Wrath.

Since the valkyrie issue is almost over, let's talk about Wrath/Resolve and Fighters.

Suggested Fighter special:
- +10 hit and +5 evade when within 3 range of 2 or more enemies.
- -5 evade to enemies within 3 range of the Fighter and +5 hit and evade when in range of 2+ enemies.

Underpowered. Very underpowered.

However, I think I have an idea. Fighters can be considered one of the few enemies that can really do damage to Knights. Generally, unless there is a mage or fighter-esque around, Knights just don't die. So why not solidify that fact with an ability?

- Heavy Blow - A called attack, the Fighter cuts his STR in half. However, for one attack sequence he is able to completely ignore the enemies defense.

This means that while it is utterly useless against mages or other soft targets, they will have the ability to smash through more defensive targets with relative ease if their natural STR is less than the targets DEF.

Def ignoring is more powerful than you think, and there are a lot of anti armor weapons.
Mebbe for warriors though.

Also I'm not sure that's underpowered, but if it is we can give mo numbers.

Even at low levels, ignoring DEF is really, really powerful. More importantly, Fighters already do lots of damage, with high base Strength and axes to boot.

Fighters seem to me to be heavy brawlers, wading into the thick of the enemy, so they should have bonuses relating to that. Maybe add 1 to AS as well as +10 hit and +5 evade when within 3 range of 2 or more enemies. That AS wouldn't be factored into Evade though.
