Note that in the screenshot with the bodies, I was an unbuffed goblin and initially charged in to dragonfall the marksdorfs so I could disarm them/chuck their weapons at the other marksdorfs, after four charge/jumps I got tired so I slowed down to a jog and started hacking feet as they came to me as I was trying to make the group give up and run off... then they started bleeding out.

Well, a full-speed dragonfall type jump is still one of the most powerful unmodded attacks in the game.

Dodging is nothing to sneeze at as Zimeshabod can attest. It can also be modified if you're not a purist.

Standard Zimeshabod scenario, enemy faces south practitioner faces north.

Practitioner begins catching weapon and dodges northwest before they're finished.

The enemy is facing south, the practitioner is facing east.

Unstoppable attack.

I like to follow up with a kick to the back of the neck and dodge toward the next opponent. This usually shatters the spine, so if it doesn't kill he still won't be a threat at my back while I deal with the others.

PTW this is really, really cool.

Fun Fact: Hawkwraithing an elf with an elephant man flings it halfway out of your field of vision then kills it.

I can concur that Hawkwraithing any standard Humanoid as an Elephant Man at full speed and max Jump distance does terrifying things to any basic humanoid. You can also send creatures many dozens of tiles away by Throwing them via Wrestling (despite this, throwing bodies of the same creatures as weapons will still cause them to only travel a couple spaces at most. Can't have everything I guess).

I've noticed that as of late, the old grab-and-jump attack seems less effective against larger opponents than it used to seem.

[Max™]

Gotta be at full speed.

[Random_Dragon]

Bugger. I could've sworn you used to be able to do it from a standing start. Though even then, bigger enemies had a decent chance of breaking the grab in between grabbing and jumping.

[Max™]

I never have outside of being a bulky/large dorf manhandling wispy little elves.

Note when I said full speed I kinda meant 9.9 btw.

[Random_Dragon]

Hmm, odd. I've tossed humans and goblins as a human, if I recall.

[Max™]

For sure goblins and smaller races can be punted around. I did just that with my large dorf kisat dur practitioner I was playing with recently. You'll just bounce off of a Roc or something though.

At 9.9 speed it is another matter and you can knock them a square or two.

[Random_Dragon]

Guess my elf will be sticking to his copper mace. :v

[Uzu Bash]

A unicorn is 10x the mass of a Superior Strength Cougar Man. I can't keep a grasp on it unless it's hobbled and bleeding, but I can grab-jump an unhobbled unicorn and knock it 2 tiles. I think wrestling skill does add some leverage, but that can be overwhelmed by a mass advantage.

This shouldn't be possible at all, though; a hoofed quadruped would have a more solid footing to resist charge or jump attacks. Too bad you can't jump on its back.

[Max™]

Think of it like cow tipping. Except instead of a cow, it's a horrific eldritch beast composed of hatred and skullfucking.

[LlamaLlord]

What about armor? What are Kisat Dur's principles on that?
