Hey, I was just wondering what it dex/agi bonus it would take as a dwarf to get my falchion ambush roundtime down to 5? If anyone could let me know, i'd be extremely happy =x

(Got the following from PsiNet... should still be up to date.)

Article "RT"

Reduction/Agidex bonus sum
1/8
2/23
3/38
4/53
5/68

Race/DEXterity/AGIlity/Max Sum
Halfling/25+15/25+10/75
Burghal Gnome/25+10/25+10/70
Elf/25+5/25+15/70
Aelotoi/25+5/25+10/65
Dark Elf/25+10/25+5/65
Forest Gnome/25+5/25+10/65
Half-Elf/25+5/25+10/65
Sylvankind/25+10/25+5/65
Half-Krolvin/25+0/25+5/55
Erithian/25+0/25+0/50
Human/25+0/25+0/50
Dwarf/25+0/25-5/45
Giantman/25-5/25-5/40

So, as a dwarf, with max dex/agi, you can drop 3 seconds of RT. A falchion's base RT is 5. Ambushing from the open adds a second, from hiding adds another. So, 6 seconds of RT for open ambushing, 7 for shadow ambushing. According to the table, you need a combined dex/agi of 23 to nock the 2 extra seconds off.

Thanks.

Base of 5 seconds + 1 second for ambush...dependent on skill. There's no way to ambush with a falchion at less than 6 seconds, without using haste that is.

So they've changed the way roundtime and weapons work then.. bleh. Thanks.

I don't believe this was a change, without haste you're always looking at at least base +1 with ambushing.
