Invinci-blocker?
« on: September 12, 2010, 07:57:12 am »
I noticed that in Deon's Genesis mod you can play as a Naga adventurer; I don't really like snakemen so at first I overlooked the fact that it has 4 ARMS... And then a little idea popped into my mind:
What happens if I build an adventurer that holds 3 shields at the same time?

Basically, an unstoppable war-machine! Even when gangbanged by 10+ enemies, no hits pass through the Shield Wall... Only thing to fear is melting by fire (but dragonfire gets always blocked) or FB syndromes!

There will always be a moment where someone gets past your defences and bruises your lower spine.

Indeed, in my experience it is always the mightiest warrior's fate to have his weapon hand bitten by a wolf or his leg violently shaken by a lion. Instant disability awaits.

Don't rely on shields. Putting too much fate in them will get you killed. Rely on throwing shit (you will be literally able to throw it in the next coming updates) dragging opponents into pools and gouging eyes out.

It is sufficient to simply experience dodging.

Dodging is good, but cannot be used while on the ground. If you want a truly impenetrable warrior, have a good amount of both.

Actually you can wield as many shields as you want with 2 hands, so there's no real difference.

I'm not sure if you can use all the weapons you hold if you don't have enough hands. My current adventurer would occasionally pull out a dagger for butchering even though he was already holding a morning star in one hand and a shield in the other, but the dagger was never used for attacks.

Yes, but it's not the same with shields.
