question : Choosing attacks? [SOLVED]
« on: January 23, 2010, 02:15:53 am »
question, i have a custom race with a special attack i made, which works fine with wrestling, but i was wondering if I was able to Choose what kind of attack to use, like a punch, bite, or a held weapon, when holding a weapon.

IIRC, there was a way, in 40d that is.

It was at this point that I realised that dwarves are actually the essence of chaos. What else can make perpetual motion machines, recursive statues with more building materials than the average tower and has such a short attention span that a damn fine chair can off-set the death of their entire family.

If you strike: The game picks randomly from a list of MAIN attacks. If you've holding an item, it's used to attack, exlusively.
If you use close combat: The game randomly picks from above and wrestling attacks on random bodyparts. The worst idea ever.
If you use charge: The character charges with a list of attacks from #1.

There IS a way to "increase chance" of attack: you simply include it multiple times in the creature entry, thus you get it more often :).
