You have decent positioning against a triton combatant.
UAF: 25 vs UDF: 287 = 0.087 * MM: -15 + d100: 53 = 52
A close miss!
Roundtime: 5 sec.

[Gelston]

Finros says, "Okay, I've turned on unarmed combat. Let me whistle up a foe to demonstrate."
>
A triton combatant thrusts with an oak-shafted silvery blue trident at Tonyshalhoub!
AS: +424 vs DS: +99 with AvD: +31 + d100 roll: +52 = +408
... and hits for 125 points of damage!
Well aimed strike shatters bone in right arm!

* Tonyshalhoub drops dead at your feet!

A triton combatant sweeps its silvery blue trident out in an arc behind it, its eyes darting around as if seeking out its next opponent.

Finros says, "Whoops."

[Tsk Tsk]

Finros attempts to jab a triton combatant!
UAF: 431 vs UDF: 287 = 1.501 * MM: 96 + d100: 31 = 175
... and hit for 3 points of damage!
Nice strike to the neck, but lacks power.
Channie says, "UAF Unnarmed something."
Caroyst says, "Ratio gets multiplied by some baseline and then the roll is added."
Soriko asks, "Unarmed attack force and unarmed defense force?"
Channie says, "Ah."
Finros says, "Unarmed Attack Factor and Unarmed Defense Factor."
Caroyst asks, "Not sure what gives the baseline, maybe previous attacks factor in?"
Soriko exclaims, "I was close!"
Finros says, "So, for example..."
Finros attempts to jab a triton combatant!
UAF: 431 vs UDF: 254 = 1.696 * MM: 94 + d100: 22 = 181
... and hit for 3 points of damage!
Quick strike to the side takes the triton combatant by surprise!

Finros says, "We have 431/254, which equals 1.696."
Finros says, "Decimals in Gemstone. Odd, I know."
Finros says, "That's multiplied by the Mutliplier Modifier, you add a d100, and get the endroll."
Finros says, "No, it's a true (fixed point) decimal number calculation."
Finros says, "The ratio aspect gives some interesting properties."
Odjuji asks, "So what determines the mm?"
Finros says, "I'll give you the generalities for what makes up the components."
Finros says, "Part of what I'd like to test here is how intuitive the system is."
Finros says, "For UAF, think of it as similar to AS. It's determined from your brawling skill, combat maneuvers skill, equipment bonuses, and spells. And some other odds and ends."
Soriko asks, "Do stats figure in?"
Finros says, "For UDF, it's similar to DS. It is determined from various defensive skills, plus equipment and spells."
Finros says, "There are some stat components, yes."
Finros says, "You may note that stance plays no roll in the UAF. You have the same UAF whether you are in an offensive or defensive stance."
Finros says, "Where stance does come in, is the multiplier."
Rindon raises an eyebrow.
Finros attempts to jab a triton combatant!
UAF: 431 vs UDF: 254 = 1.696 * MM: -7 + d100: 36 = 25
A clean miss!
Finros says, "In a defensive stance, you'll see I don't have a very good multiplier."

Finros attempts to jab a triton combatant!
UAF: 431 vs UDF: 254 = 1.696 * MM: 87 + d100: 51 = 198
... and hit for 4 points of damage!
Deft jab to neck.
Finros says, "In an offensive stance, I do."
Finros says, "The main components that go into the multiplier are the attacker's stance, and the ability of the defender to evade/block/parry."

Vilthulko says, "That's good to know."
>
Vilthulko grins.
Finros says, "Unarmed combat also has "tiers."."
Rindon says, "That has some neat testing implications."
Odjuji asks, "That a significant difference on the mm when shifiting stance..is there a percentage value at each step?"
Finros says, "You'll notice that my attack there had a 198 endroll, and yet it did 4 points of damage and no wound."
Finros says, "Yes, it's normalized to 100. So it's about 20 per step, but it's more complicated than that."
Finros nods at Odjuji.
Finros says, "There are two components to how effective an attack is."
Finros says, "The first is the actual attack type."
Finros says, "Meaning jab, punch, grapple, or kick."
Finros says, "The second is the "tier" at which the attack is taking place."
Finros says, "When you start out on a target, you're at tier 1."
Speaking dubiously to Finros, Bristenn inquires, "C-c-c-c-c-c-c-combo?"
Finros says, "You raise to higher tiers through following a combat progression, and sometimes through a bit of luck."
Finros stares at Bristenn.



More to come...

I see why it took so fucking long. They decided to make it non intuitive and with odd numbers, rather than nice even ones.

Finros says, "There is messaging in combat to indicate this progression. You don't see it as a third party, but you'll see it as an involved party in the attack."
Finros says, "Jabs are fast light blows that give you a higher chance of gaining the next combat tier."
Finros says, "Punching is a medium damage strike with a lesser chance."
Finros says, "Grapples are great at disabling opponents."
Finros says, "And kicks are heavy damage."
Odjuji asks, "Interesting and this based soleyy oin what you do or can the target do something that drops you down a tier again?"

Finros says, "Kicks have little chance of garnering a tier-up though."
Finros says, "For the most part you won't drop tiers once you achieve it."
Bristenn asks, "The message for 'oh hey next tier' is the 'strike leaves opponent vulnerable to (something) attack' message?"
Finros says, "So, let's have ourselves a live demonstration since we've got a brawler here."
Finros points at Bristenn.
Vilthulko asks, "Do tiers work on an individual basis, or can a group build up tiers to "gang up" on something?"
Finros says, "I'll whistle up a new combatant and let Bristenn go to town on it."
Bristenn says, "Neat. It's beatin' time."

Odjuji nods.
Odjuji says, "Good one."
Finros says, "It's on an individual basis. But there are combat maneuvers that allow you to carry over tiers, or make second attacks at other tiers."
Odjuji nods.
Bristenn says, "Someone take notes, because I'm not a genius at mechanics."
Finros says, "I suggest you start out with a jab or two, but handle it however you want."

A triton combatant thrusts with an oak-shafted silvery blue trident at you!
AS: +424 vs DS: +74 with AvD: +30 + d100 roll: +25 = +405
... and hits for 132 points of damage!
Strong slash to your right leg!
Muscles exposed!
Not a pretty sight.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

...departing in 14 mins...
A triton combatant sweeps its silvery blue trident out in an arc behind it, its eyes darting around as if seeking out its next opponent.

Finros sighs.

Finros says, "I need to fix that to spawn them inactive."

Randt stares at Awesomus.

Baira begins chuckling at Awesomus!
DEAD
Awesomus tosses back her head and runs her fingers through her hair.
DEAD
You are healed.
Finros says, "Go for it."
Bristenn says, "Alright, let's give this a go, then. Heh."
Finros nods at Bristenn.
Bristenn attempts to jab a triton combatant!
UAF: 418 vs UDF: 287 = 1.456 * MM: 73 + d100: 63 = 169
... and hit for 3 points of damage!
Quick jab to right hand only twists a finger.

Bristenn attempts to grapple a triton combatant!
UAF: 418 vs UDF: 287 = 1.456 * MM: 75 + d100: 37 = 146

Grabbed at elbow! Right arm snapped to side, leaving the bone protruding.
The triton combatant starts to favor its wounded arm!

Vilthulko says, "Ooo."

Bristenn attempts to punch a triton combatant!

... and hit for 20 points of damage!
Descending fist ends its arc against right knee, sending the triton combatant stumbling back. Once smitten, twice shy!
The triton combatant starts to favor its wounded leg!
'well then
You say, "Well then."

Bristenn attempts to kick a triton combatant!
UAF: 418 vs UDF: 266 = 1.571 * MM: 69 + d100: 48 = 156
... and hit for 31 points of damage!
Well-aimed side kick gives the triton combatant a limp!
The triton combatant is knocked to its knees!

Powerful roundhouse kick catches the triton combatant under the right armpit and continues through!
The combatant's silvery blue trident falls to the ground.
The triton combatant no longer favors its leg.
Channie says, "Ooh."
Baira looks thoughtfully at a triton combatant.
Soriko says, "...ouch."
Bristenn attempts to grapple a triton combatant!
UAF: 418 vs UDF: 255 = 1.639 * MM: 89 + d100: 59 = 204
... and hit for 46 points of damage!
Powerful grip twists head around until it faces backwards, giving the triton combatant a new perspective on life!
The triton combatant collapses, gurgling once with a wrathful look on its face before expiring.
Channie says, "That was fun."
Bristenn points at a triton combatant.
Baira says, "Yikes."
Vilthulko says, "Badass."
Vilthulko grins.
Baira says, "It's Linda Blair-like."
Finros says, "There we go. It'll go faster as you get used to it."
Odjuji asks, "Fun so Bristenn sees different messages then we do?"
A triton combatant's slick skin begins to rapidly desiccate and dissolve away, leaving nothing behind.
Channie asks, "How does this work on Undead?"
Finros says, "Extra messaging, yes."
Soriko says, "I'll go ahead and say it."
Bristenn asks, "I think I see about the same ish?"
Soriko asks, "Fatality?"
Finros says, "He sees messaging indicating his current tier, and what the foe is currently vulnerable to."
Sirina grins at Soriko.
Bristenn says, "And, yeah, I just realized that I'm definitely not dropping brawling."
Odjuji nods.
Rindon asks, "How many tiers are there?"
Finros says, "As does the target, if the target is a player. You have an idea of what's coming."
Baira grins at Bristenn.
Bristenn asks, "I can aim unarmed strikes?"
Finros says, "Three tiers."
Odjuji says, "Again i gonna reoll all me guys as monks."
Finros says, "Yes."
Finros nods at Bristenn.
Odjuji asks, "Does CRITS work the same?"
Finros says, "Something like "jab target right leg" will aim."
Bristenn says, "Ooh."
Bristenn asks, "So the regular AIM verb has no bearing on it, righto?"
Bristenn says, "As, being, you know, warrior and all, mine is set to head."
Rindon says, "I'm gonna punch a kobold in the nose so hard.."
Bristenn snickers to himself.
Finros says, "Not currently, no. I've gone back on forth on it."
Bristenn says, "Hrm."
Bristenn says, "It's a lot of typing either way."
Finros says, "Unlike regular attacks, there's no attack/ambush difference. So I'm still going back and forth on whether it should apply."
Finros says, "You make a good point, though."
Finros nods at Bristenn.
Channie searches through a pile of vultite studded gloves for a moment, but she does not pick up anything.
The tension in Finros's skin eases and you notice that his complexion returns to normal.

Finros says, "The answer is, its complicated."
Finros nods at Odjuji.
Bristenn says, "It's something I'd probably macro."
Finros says, "They work similarly, but not identically."
Finros says, "Now, let's talk equipment."
Finros says, "You'll notice some piles of gloves and boots on the floor."
Odjuji says, "Well how would a brawler stack up agains soething in plate."
Finros says, "This is unarmed equipment."
Finros says, "You don't hold it, you wear it."
Finros says, "Many special abilities that apply to weapons also apply to equipment."
Finros says, "You can bless it to use it against undead, you can cast eblade, you can enchant it, it can have flares, it can be crit weighted, and so on."
Rindon asks, "Does enchant add to UAF on a 1:1 ratio?"
Finros says, "Yes."
Soriko says, "Crit weighted boots. Try that with a gkick."
Finros says, "You can *also* use certain held brawling weapons."
Rindon says, "Nice."
You grin.
Odjuji asks, "Same level restrictions as in need to be level 10 to use vultite tipped boots?"
Bristenn says, "So not unlike the pAS 5:1 MB of Voln Fu."
Finros says, "If you use a pair of gloves and also hold a couple of appropriate brawling weapons, you'll be able to use all the equipment in the attack."
Finros says, "There are two sets of boots and two sets of gloves on the floor right now. The vultite ones are 4x, the non-vultite are 0x."
Speaking to Finros, Rindon asks, "How does TWC factor in?"
Bristenn searches through a pile of vultite studded gloves for a moment, but he does not pick up anything.
Finros says, "That said, using multiple pieces of equipment does have a downside as well. You'll see penalties to your multiplier for using them."
Finros says, "On the the other hand, there's a chance for three independent flares."
Bristenn says, "Ah, ye olde trade off."
Finros grins.
Odjuji says, "Geez its gonna take some figuring."
Speaking to Finros, Rindon asks, "Will your MM be penalized for one piece of equipment or just more than one?"
Speaking to Odjuji, Channie asks, "What, you can't just go out and play and not worry about technical details?"
Finros says, "TWC doesn't factor in here. It's all one attack using multiple pieces of equipment."
Finros says, "The multiplier isn't penalized for worn gloves and boots. It is for held items."
Speaking to Finros, Bristenn asks, "Got some brawling weapons and another combatant we can demonstrate this on?"
Soriko asks, "Is there a benefit to using unenchanted gloves and boots?"
Speaking to Finros, Rindon asks, "So you don't need to train twc, you can just hold two fist scythes, for example, and get a chance of flares from both of them?"

Finros says, "Well, you can eblade them."
Finros says, "And use regular blessing,"
Finros says, "The same advantages you see with unenchanted weapons."
Soriko says, "Yes, but I mean, with nothing like that. Just one their own."
Finros says, "Take off the gloves for a second. I'll give you an eblade and see if you can get a flare."
Finros says, "No, there's no inherent advantage."
Finros says, "They're more of a platform for gaining advantage."
Finros gestures at some sturdy leather gloves.
A bolt of energy leaps from Finros's hand to the gloves which seems to absorb the energy. After a few moments the gloves begins to shine with a brilliant luminescence.
Bristenn asks, "Want me to grab a couple brawling weapons?"
Finros says, "Stand by for a combatant smoking someone again. I forgot to make this tool generate them docile."

Quick overview.

UAF based on skills
UDF based on skills + EDP
MM based on stance with penalties for weapons and gear in hand, bonus for brawling worn items and tier effects
Damage based on tier and endroll
Attacker can see where they are vulnerable and the current tier.
attacks have short term effects like slows, hindering limbs (AS/DS/UDF penalty) and knocking them out.
Volnites can attack undead at step 8 without blessed worn brawling gear.

Caroyst asks, "Is there an effect with cpress?"
Bristenn says, "I like that spine-shattering kick right thar."

Bristenn says, "..oddly as amusing as the double-spin flying roundhouse."
Channie removes some sturdy leather gloves from in her golden yellow pack.
Finros says, "Favoring the right arm means their AS and UAF drop and their parry ability is lessened."
Bristenn carefully places a knuckle-blade on the ground.
Rindon asks, "Is that a random effect or is it the same each time for a specific limb?"
Finros says, "For example."
Finros says, "That's an example of it being similar to crit tables. Specific attacks have specific effects."
Finros says, "Grapple has the most interesting effects in my opinion."
Finros says, "But everyone can judge that for themselves."
Finros says, "Oh, I forgot to mention, if you're Voln at rank... 8, I think, you can hit undead without blessed equipment.,"

Zemonk exclaims, "Wow!"
Randt nods.
Caroyst reaches for a tiger-claw, which suddenly glows brightly, causing him to yelp with pain and drop it.
Channie says, "Ooh fun."
Rindon asks, "Without expending favor?"
Speaking to Finros, Randt asks, "Based off the voln fu symbol step?"
Finros says, "And if you're wearing spell 1209, Dragonclaw, you can hit magical creatures (like cyclops) without a magical piece of equipment."
Finros nods at Rindon.
Bristenn asks, "Neat. I was going to ask (but uh, couldn't find a good opportunity), what about the holes in Voln now without those symbols?"
Zemonk says, "Well voln fu allowed that anyway."
Finros says, "Voln Fu is disabled, and undead can be hit at rank 8. No other Voln changes are present at this time."
Bristenn sniffs.
(Bristenn sadfaces.)
Finros says, "We'll be doing Voln changes at the same time as monks going live."
(Bristenn happyfaces!)
Finros says, "But that isn't part of this testing."
Channie says, "So long as the changes are good ones..."
Channie asks, "For this, no one's Volning?"
Odjuji says, "Voln is sort of dying since sunfist."
Bristenn exclaims, "I am!"
Speaking to Odjuji, Channie says, "No it isn't."
Randt says, "You can voln, but the fu symbols won't work, is what I'm taking from this."

Zemonk asks, "We arent joining societies in this instance?"
Finros says, "Fu is disabled, all other symbols work normally."
Finros says, "You can if you want."
Finros says, "I may be able to help with that in a few days."
Finros says, "I'm still working madly in the background here to make sure everything is set up right."
Finros grins.
Zemonk nods.
Baira says, "You're doing a great job, too."
Baira nods.
Bristenn says, "I'm just happy that I'm effective-esque on something a) higher in level than me and b) still in my wonderful fullplate."
Finros says, "Once that calms down a bit, we can establish standards for setting players up with advanced abilities."
Finros says, "You'd be able to kill it faster in lesser armor and a higher level, of course."
A delicate pale blue sprite with braided hair flutters in.
Finros says, "And it wasn't swinging back."

Randt stares at a delicate pale blue sprite with braided hair.

The triton combatant collapses, gurgling once with a wrathful look on its face before expiring.

Bristenn says, "Let's see, how did my MM change.."
Finros says, "Looks like you got a good tier up progression t here."
Finros says, "Whoever said action penalty was correct; it's based off of that."
Rindon nods.
Vilthulko asks, "So robes are best?"
Vilthulko nods.
Finros says, "The MM has a decent random component in it, so it's hard to tell from just a few strikes at what's happening."
The voice of Odjuji says, "Is there much more here? I have to leave for an event real soon but will come back later and tests stuff."
Soriko says, "It'd make sense, with all that moving about."
Finros says, "You'll get a feel for it over time."
Finros says, "Or at least I did, and other staff members have."
Speaking to Finros, Randt says, "But I'm fairly stupid."
Randt frowns.
Finros says, "Nope, we're basically done."
The voice of Odjuji says, "Cool this will be fun..i gotta figger out why my cs so low later."
Finros asks, "So, questions about anything, anybody?"
Vilthulko says, "Maybe the new voln changes will revive the society. I can hope. Hehe."
Vilthulko grins.
Bristenn asks, "Now, if I'm holding say a non-brawling weapon (usually my bastard sword), or were I using a shield, I couldn't use UCS?"
Speaking to Finros, Soriko asks, "I wouldn't be me if I didn't ask but... I notice the boots have vultite toes. Any chance on getting the cobbling system to work with that? Sort of like forging, but for unarmed stuff?"
Bristenn removes a suit of heavy steel field plate-and-mail from in the Bristenn disk.
Rindon asks, "You may have answered me without me seeing, but whats our CS stat?"
The voice of Odjuji says, "Think it logic."
Finros says, "You can make the actual attack, but it'll be at a heavy penalty, and you'll get messaging about what you're holding hindering things."
Finros says, "In answer to the CS question, Logic is what you want for MnM."
Finros says, "But again, remember monks are squares."
Finros asks, "Other questions?"
Vilthulko says, "I love the messaging when you try to UCS yourself."

[Fallen]

lol, PK. These (later) logs are great. It will be something to see a monk in a swarm jabbing and kicking around the room. Minor Mental might also yield a few fun toys for non-monks as well.

[crb]

I'm really excited, remember when sorcerers were told that monks were a big release for our profession too? I wait with bated breath.

Seriously though, what seems to go into UDF? I mean, I imagine ninja skills don't work well on something packing a sword and shield and armor. Or is suspension of disbelief the name of the game? Monk ninja kicks spiked armor, monk impales self.

[crb]

It's a monk feat in Dungeons and Dragons, is the point I was making. Gelston.wat?
http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Skin_(1202)

This is the GM's way of being able to have their cake (the visual of a monk in robes) while eating it too (having monks be functional melee fighters). Otherwise they would fall to realism of either being destroyed in combat, or having to explain how someone in heavy armor is crane kicking you in the face. It is like super dfredux, which is of similar illogical birth but at least this can be claimed to be magic.

It is also why robes will suddenly become more in demand, and plate, less so. Call up your broker and say you want to go long robes and short plate bellies.

The crown was a nice touch.

[Renian]

This unarmed tier system worries me. I feel as though kills by unarmed monks will take longer than kills by other classes.

For melee, monks need to be able to score a kill about once every 12 seconds. I say 12 because a warrior could open ambush leg then head in 12, or swing a large weapon/two weapons in 10-12 seconds. A rogue could hide then ambush a critters head or eye in 9-12 seconds, the additional 3 seconds coming from a failed hide.

If monks cannot reliably drop critters in 12 seconds, monks are bad.

That said, there might be a solution. Can monks ambush unarmed? They can 2x hiding and 2x ambush. Jab, hide, ambush kick might be the way to go here. Or Jab, grapple, hide, ambush punch. The additional DS pushdown/crit weighting could guarantee the 12 second kill.

[Androidpk]

According to Finros..


Monks aren't stealthy. They're about as good as warriors, which is to say that stealth is an option if you really want, but they won't have any tricks like rogues or rangers.

[Renian]

I've seen successful warrior ambushers. Nevertheless, it was just an idea. It won't be necessary if a 12 second kill can be achieved without it relatively easily.

[BriarFox]

12 seconds for a melee kill is pretty quick, especially at the lower levels.

[Renian]

18 seconds will be a good benchmark for lower levels and as an upper limit for higher ones. 18 seconds is about how long it takes if something went wrong. For example, hide, ambush head, crit randomization says no. Hide, ambush neck, there we go. 18 seconds.

For warriors, the equivalent is ambush leg, ambush head, ambush neck, or swing swing swing/focused mstrike swing swing. At least for OHB/OHE users.

[Tenlaar]

So a square can have a level 1 attack spell, but not the most magical of semis.

[droit]

I think kills will actually be pretty quick once you learn the system. It's a little complicated, but there's certainly a flow you pick up that leads to more damage. I think particularly at higher levels when you have to ability to start attack sequences at level 2, you'll get more efficient.

[BriarFox]

Bards have a level 2 attack spell. Rangers don't really get one until 616. It is a little odd that Monks get one at level 1, but it fits the idea of a monk. I expect that it has a very low DF.

[Renian]

I expect that it has a very low DF.

Oh, it does. Here's a log of it from Krakiipedia:



>prep 1201
You take a deep breath and focus inward, raising a hand
and quietly murmuring the words of the Force Orb spell...
Your spell is ready.
>cast oscuro
You gesture at Oscuro.
A translucent orb of force coalesces out of the
air next to Oscuro.
CS: +501 - TD: +273 + CvA: +8 + d100: +98 == +334
Warding failed!
The orb quickly spins about him then strikes!
Oscuro is crushed by the orb for 19 damage!
... 15 points of damage!
Blow to chest causes Oscuro's heart to skip a beat.
He is stunned!
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
(Forcing stance down to guarded)


The problem with this log though is that it doesn't tell us how many ranks of Mental Lore: Manipulation the caster had. I suspect it to be 0.

[Tenlaar]

You know damn well that you can't count 1002 as a real level 2 attack spell.

How do we expect GoS sigils to impact UAC?

Crit weighted fists?

[Cap'nDrak]

Also, how about armor accessories with spikes and\or flares? How does that work in combination with Iron Skin, and UAC? Any issues to be aware of?

[droit]

I don't think 1201 will be a viable attack for monks. Its DF is terrible and monks seem to have pretty bad CS. Just playing around in the skill manager with a few builds, I think monks are expected to .5x spells.

[Jace Solo]

Is it 0/16 for most pures? Wouldn't that suggest that Monks should be somewhere in the 1-2x by cap area? Especially with the low cost of their other core skills it seems like they could be viable at 1x in growth. Maybe not, I don't have it to play around with. What's the cost for paladins and rangers?

[Androidpk]

0/17 for rangers and 0/27 for paladins

[droit]

Crit weighting and flares all affect UAC. In fact, you can have up to 3 accessories affect a given attack, but not the accessories you're thinking of. First, there are gloves and boots. These are worn and are basically just a vehicle for item improvements, like enchant, blessing, flares, crit weighting, etc. Kinda like how robes don't provide any defense, but give you the benefits of their buffs. Then second, you can hold certain brawling weapons in your hands to impart their properties to your UA attacks at a penalty to your modifier. Each of the three items has a chance to activate for each attack.

[droit]

Spells cost like 0/8 for pures.

[Androidpk]

I foresee immolation gloves and boots in the near future :)

Granted, savants are likely a long way off. However, if the design scheme dictates that they will make use of the minor mental spell circle, it would stand to reason that the circle itself should be designed with savant use in mind as well as monks. Not every spell in a shared circle is useful to all people, as I'm sure you're aware.

We don't know the duration though. Or if you have to remain grouped with the monk.

Honestly, I don't see Savants being too far off. They require nowhere near as much work as Monks. I think they will be out in 3 years assuming they can convince one of the DEV GMs to work on them. Unless, of course, they declare something else as their next major project. What else would they decide to tackle if not for another new profession? Perhaps the Voln/COL review. Finros may also turn his attention towards the Dodge changes, which would frankly be awesome.

Just to be clear - We understand the ability to convert as:

2) Any character who IS trained in 2x brawling

Here's how combat gear works. There's two kinds: worn and held. Worn gear (boots and gloves) can't be disarmed, can be enchanted (to add to you UAF and to allow you to hit magic creatures), and can have most of the standard properties available to weapons (flares, weighting, etc.) that are applied to unarmed attacks. Gloves help with jabs, punches, and grapples, while boots help only kicks.

Only certain brawling weapons count as held weapons (I'll get a list later). A held weapon can add to your unarmed DF a little bit, add enchant to your UAF, and can lend it's properties (flares, etc.) to your unarmed attacks, but they lower your MM a fair bit (a part of the combat calculation that's pretty important).

You CAN stack multiple pieces of gear. Up to three, in fact. You can wear gloves and hold two brawling weapons, and all of their effects apply. However, the properties of each piece of gear are averaged by the total number of pieces in play. For example, wearing flaring gloves and holding one heavily weighted weapon would give your unarmed attacks half the normal chance to flare and half the amount of crit weighting (in this case, 5 points). If you wore flaring gloves and held two flaring weapons, each of the three pieces would only have 1/3rd the normal chance to flare, but each one is rolled separately, so you could conceivably get all three flares on one attack. However, your MM would suffer two penalties for the two held weapons.

Non-brawling weapons won't do anything for you in unarmed combat. They just provide penalties. So no holding a claid to get 40 points of weighting on your punches.

It's worth noting that Finros said that the system is designed to favor empty handed attacks, from a damage and crit perspective, over holding brawling weapons. Still, get nice enough weapons and it might be worth it.

[fallenSaint]

How is the defensive side of things looking when completely unarmed as compared to holding some form of brawling gear in hand. Do the Gloves/Boots enchants lend any to your DS as well?

[zzentar]

I agree with all that Droit said.

One thing I would add is that with cman Flurry,

(Allows the attacker the opportunity to freely make multiple JAB attacks against foes in the same area. There is a 50% chance of making a second JAB at rank 1, and a 75% chance at rank 2. At rank 3, there is a 75% chance of making a second JAB attack, and a 50% chance of a third JAB if the second is successful.)

You actually can get 3 chances to get all those flares or crit hits every attack.

[Luftstreitkräfte]

Great comment above, Droit.

It seems like a lot of work to make gloves and boots weighted and enchanted in addition to factoring them in with current weapons. I wonder how DB items will be effected by this change.

With all the flares and everything, it appears that you can plink things to death with a bunch of flaring items cobbled together, or just go for one shot kills with the method DoctorUnne used.

[Androidpk]

or just go for one shot kills with the method DoctorUnne used.

Which was what?

Droit, so if one has 10x gloves, boots, and a pair of suitable 10x brawling weapons you're not going to get +200 to UAF?

Which was what?

Droit, so if one has 10x gloves, boots, and a pair of suitable 10x brawling weapons you're not going to get +200 to UAF?


No. First of all, only one worn weapon will be used for any given attack (boots for kicks, gloves for everything else). Worn weapon enchant adds directly to UAF, but held weapons only add a portion of their enchant. It doesn't make a huge deal anyway because UAF's effects cap out at twice the size of the target's UDF. Look at the combat calculation; it creates a ratio. MM and tier are more important.

[droit]

How is the defensive side of things looking when completely unarmed as compared to holding some form of brawling gear in hand. Do the Gloves/Boots enchants lend any to your DS as well?

I still think monk DS blows. Gloves and boots don't add to DS, I'm pretty sure. I'm hoping I can convince Finros to address it somehow.

[Kitsun]

Was there anywhere explaining the UAC calculations and numbers? Because it looks like a hella mess.

[Gelston]

Monk DS does blow. At level 10 I boasted a whopping 140 in defense stance. This is with 3x dodging. I could easily take out War Trolls and stuff, but they could easily take me out too.

[Gelston]

Was there anywhere explaining the UAC calculations and numbers? Because it looks like a hella mess.

Think of UAF and UDF as AS and DS. Your UAF is lowered by heavier armors and such. I notice that Augmented Plate lowered it by 20. Spells like Strength, 425, etc raise it. MM is a partially random number that changes everytime. It includes the dodging characteristics of the character being attacked, to include any spells such as blurs and mobility that add to dodge. There are a lto of random qualities that Finros will probably never tell us of in the creation of that number.

UAF and UDF aren't really as important as they seem, the MM is the most important from what I have seen.

[MMA RLZ]

What race seems to be the best so far in terms of stats?

[Renian]

For the monk prime requisites, elves and half-krolvin seem to be best, with STR+AGI sums of 65.

EDIT: On further investigation, half-krolvin seem better because Wisdom and Discipline are the mana stats. Elves take a nasty -15 hit to DIS. However, Half-krolvin take a -5 hit to WIS. While this hurts spiritual TD, monks can easily access the minor spiritual spell circle and replace it with self-cast spells such as Lesser Shroud.

[droit]

I like half elf. STR+AGI of 60, only -5 to DIS, decent all around. HK might be the best, but only if you can stomach -10 LOG, which is the exp absorption stat and monk CS stat (though monks will have shit CS in any case).

[crb]

Dwarves make the best of any profession, it is known. Even Chuck Norris wore a beard in the dwarven style for benefit it provides.

[crb]

... seriously though, dwarves rule DIS and STR if those stats matter.

[droit]

Um.. Holy shit. Look at this:

Wow. That one and Perfect Self are probably overpowered by a factor of about 3?

[fallenSaint]

I still think monk DS blows. Gloves and boots don't add to DS, I'm pretty sure. I'm hoping I can convince Finros to address it somehow.

Yea that is kind of depressing, Im interested in trying the new unarmed stuff as a Rogue really and would like to see some way of having a survivable defense.

[Gelston]

Well, the thing about those is you can only have one up at a time :(

[zzentar]

Here is an example of the triple flare Droit was talking about, I was holding a feras tiger-claw in each hand and drakar gloves.

[Jace Solo]

I thought they reflected lightning?

[Ceyrin]

I thought they reflected lightning?

Cast, maybe. Not flares though. I hunted that area for several levels with a ranger using griffin fletchings with no problems. I'd even get death crits from the flares sometimes.

Here are the brawling weapons that work with UAC:

Razorpaw
Paingrip
Cestus
Knuckle-duster
Tiger-claw
Knuckle-blade
Yierka-spur

[Fallen]

Troll claws and katars dont. Interesting.

[Androidpk]

Troll claws and katars dont. Interesting.

If any weapons should be on that list it would be those two.

[crb]

troll claws for sure... but I think, rather obviously, they gave a use to the shit no one uses, amiright?

[droit]

It's actually done by which brawling weapons are "worn" over which ones are held. Think cestus or tiger claw. Look at the pictures. (http://www.play.net/gs4/info/armory/brawling.asp)

[ThatDamnTep]

Uh, troll claws are quite clearly worn. They're metal claws attatched to a leather bracer.

[droit]

True. That was probably a balance decision. Who knows.

[Androidpk]

Yeah, cause troll claws are OP.

[droit]

You say, "According to your worn/held deliniation of which brawling weapons work with UAC, troll claws should be acceptable, but they're not."
>
Finros says, "The association is a bit loose. It's more a question of what's convenient enough to use while maintaining the same basic form."
>
Finros says, "The cesus fits better than, say, a tiger-claw, but the troll-claw is large enough that it would change the basic form of it."
>
Finros says, "In the end, one could justify any subset with a fair degree of validity. Or none of them for that matter."
>
You ask, "How does weapon DF factor into UAC, anyway?"
>
Finros says, "Use of a brawling weapon adds to the DF of the unarmed attack, but it's essentially unrelated to its DF as a melee weapon."
>
Finros says, "Brawling weapons used in the UCS have two inherent modifiers -- penalties to the multiplier, and additions to the DF."
>
You nod.
>
Finros says, "Neither one is numerically connected to its use as a melee attack weapon."
>
Finros says, "Conceptually, the heavier weapons have greater MM penalties and higher DF additions."
>
You ask, "Are they all the same, or do they vary?"
>
You say, "Ah."
>
Finros says, "Vary. A cestus is light, for example, while a tiger-claw is heavy."
>
You ask, "Independant of normal DF, but probably similar, relatively?"
>
Finros nods.
>
You ask, "Which is considered the heaviest? tiger claw?"
>
Finros says, "Yup."
>
You ask, "Even though yierka spur has the highest normal DF?"
>
Finros says, "Hmm. I think they're about the same, actually. Tied at the top end."
>
Finros says, "Though I may go back and differentiate everything a bit more to make sure there aren't any ties."
>
Finros says, "But on the third hand, I'm not sure it'd really be all that noticable anyway."

[fallenSaint]

Well that's certainly disappointing to see them cut out the more entertaining brawling weapons from utility. The Katar I can understand with the dual training requirement, but some of the others I would have liked to see used.

[crb]

Theoretically, there is no reason a monk can't just dual train in brawling right and fight with brawling weapons under the existing combat system, perhaps only using kicks, etc, for their unarmed system, maybe stowing the weapons and fetching them back out, etc.

It isn't as if the unarmed system is their only way of fighting.

[Fallen]

I am surprised people don't just script get/sheathe their weapons for the best of both worlds.

Also


How is that interesting, you fucking moron. Not the know-it-all you used to be.

See resulting discussion and question posed to Finros.

[Kitsun]

So are creatures going to be using the UAC as well? Or is this a player only system?

While I think it is pretty neat that UAC is layered on top of normal combat so you can just use the same old stuff. The new combat system sure makes the old attack/ambush pattern look... well old and bland.

[BriarFox]

:yeahthat:

I agree. I think the requirement with UAC to set up your attacks and create sequences really opens up a new level of combat in Gemstone.

[zzentar]

I noticed that the enchant of my brawling weapons weren't making the normal buff to my UAF as they would have to normal AS. Asked Finros about it and found its an interesting formula.

Gloves and boots make the normal add to UAF as it did to AS. +10 gloves or boots add 10 to UAF.

If using a brawling weapon also, it adds enchant of Gloves + .5 * (enchant of brawling weapon)

If using 2 brawling weapons, it adds enchant of Gloves + .5 * Avg(enchant of weapon 1 + enchant of weapon 2)

The total buff to UAF maxes out at +50

[crb]

With the lower than normal benefit from enchanted weapons, but the nice possibility of flares, perhaps drakar/zorchar/rhimar/gornar finally have a use?

Someone ever ask if gloves/boots have to be special, from a mechanical technical standpoint, or does any item with the appropriate noun work and will henceforth become enchantable?

[zzentar]

I am using 4x drakar gloves and 2 4x drakar tiger-claws for a +30 to my UAF and a triple chance of fire flares

[MrMortimur]

>Someone ever ask if gloves/boots have to be special, from a mechanical technical standpoint, or does any item with the appropriate noun work and will henceforth become enchantable?

I asked this on the forums a few weeks ago and the reponse from Finros was that he might open a conversion chamber for gloves/boots to let you use your current stuff. But a tester could get the latest on restrictions/timeframe for that.

[Nilandia]

Someone ever ask if gloves/boots have to be special, from a mechanical technical standpoint, or does any item with the appropriate noun work and will henceforth become enchantable?
Gloves and boots able to be used with the UCS specifically say as much in the inspection.

Example: After a careful inspection you determine that some gloves are suitable for use in unarmed combat.

Gretchen

[Androidpk]

So how will monks fare in swarms? Say a grimswarm camp for example.

[zzentar]

My monk is GoS and getting decimated in camps, even with all the fire flaring gear.

I bet with outside spells on and haste + cman flurry + Jab, it would be a different story. Maxed flurry is the only multi opponent spell/Cman I have seen so far.

IMO a monk that is self spelled only does not stand a chance in hell trying to solo a camp.

[droit]

I'm doing a lot better in camps at 35 than I was doing at 16, that's for sure. Krynch stance is perfect for camping a room and letting them come to you. If you're lucky, you can chain together 4 or 5 tier three attacks, which are mostly fatal if you hit the right spots. My DS issues are also slowly going away, so that's good too.

Care to post a log? Also, i'm sure this has been explained elsewhere, but do monks eat too much of a penalty to make use of shields? Even bucklers? Seems a 10x buckler would go a long ways towards solving some defensive issues.

[Androidpk]

Zzentar what level is your monk?

[GS4_HappyTimez]

I'm so glad you all get to see how awesome this system is. It's a shame you couldn't see the unfinished version from a year or so ago. Now THAT was a sight to behold.

This new one holds a good deal of balance though, which is good for the prosperity of the game.

[zzentar]

mine is 24, step 6 on GoS.

Which, if any, of the new CMans are available to the other squares/semis?

Rogues get two stances. Slippery Mind and Predator's Eye.

Rogues get two stances. Slippery Mind and Predator's Eye.

Arguably better than getting the choice of 10 stances. You can pick one and have it up all the time.

[Ceyrin]

I just want to say, after reading all the posts here and on the officials regarding monks, mechanics, and what people are doing with them... you people suck at thinking outside the box.

I'm so going to break this system when it's released.

[Kembal]

So how will monks fare in swarms? Say a grimswarm camp for example.

Haven't gone up in levels as high as others, but haven't fared well in swarms at all. I suspect I'll do better once I get more ranks in krynch stance.

[Riltus]

Hey Droit -

Do you know if the Cmans Stance of the Mongoose and Flurry of Blows are classified as martial stances? I see it in the descriptions of Inner Harmony, Rolling Krynch Stance and Slippery Mind but not in those two. I was under the impression that Mongoose and Flurry were going to be martial stances but it isn't in their descriptions.

I've been trying to update KP, as best as I can (non-beta tester), from posted info here and on the officials.

Mark

[droit]

Yeah, mongoose and flurry are both stances. Finros was very clear that the descriptions for the new maneuvers are a work in progress. Should be clearer soon.

With regards to your non-beta-tester status, I'm going to ask specifically for you to be admitted to the test server. Between your work on mechanics and on KP, you'd definitely be a valuable addition. What's your play.net account, again?

[zzentar]

dont know the other cman but as far as Cman Flurry:

>cman flurry
You assume a stance suitable to unleash a flurry of blows.

lasts for four hours.

[fallenSaint]

Rogues get two stances. Slippery Mind and Predator's Eye.

Any caps of Slippery Mind in action? And I can't seem to find a definition for Predator's Eye in this post or on Krakii have that handy?

[droit]

Slippery Mind is pretty self explanatory. 27% chance at rank 3 in robes to dodge mind and soul affecting spells.

You're spun around and hit hard in the lower back.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You realize that you have no outstanding favors which Lorminstra owes you, and without having accomplished a deed for Her, your soul is in danger of vanishing from the land forever!

Any thoughts on 1207 or 1216 yet? How effective are they compared to things like ewave or guards?

[WRoss]

Any try a mutant build yet?

[droit]

1207 is single target ewave. I'm pretty sure they just cut and pasted the code, so that one should be pretty easy to imagine. 1216 is pretty cool; +30 DS for as long as you retain focus with one cast and no renew cost. Guards gives TD though, which is an area monks are middling in.

[droit]

No. What should I try?

[Manamethis]

Can you do archer/FU?

[Zelas]

1216 seem like a big group winner. Nothing else in the game that nice for so low cost.

[droit]

Can you do archer/FU?

Tryin it. Kinda sucks so far.

[Wheelerm]

This may have already been asked and answered, but what are the penalties for rigid armor, like Bring? I have a set of spiked Brig that I think is just the thing for grappling.

[Rolis]

The penalties for heavier armors result in a lower MM.. A multiplying factor in the unarmed combat system. I believe that i heard that the penalty to MM due to heavy armors was proportional to the action penalty of armors.. Ie heavier armor more penalty which is obvious and could probably be mitigated to some degree with over armor trainifg. That being said.. I did fool around with metal breastplate on my monk who had only 30 armor ranks or 120 skill and was suprised that the MM penalty for plate while beomg so under trained was as minimal as it was. I nelieve the penalty was lass than that if i were holding and item in my hand.

Also, i believe grappling is a hand based attack and would think that spiked armor would not react to those form of attack.

[Androidpk]

How high can you bring up 1202 with lores, ASG wise?

[zzentar]

at level 100 with 100 tranformation lore its Chain Hauberk, but with a +5 transformation lore item or adv guild badge that gets bumped to metal breastplate

[Androidpk]

So fullplate is possible? :)

[MrMortimur]

>>at level 100 with 100 tranformation lore its Chain Hauberk, but with a +5 transformation lore item or adv guild badge that gets bumped to metal breastplate

Isn't this level 75 with 75 ranks of transformation lore? Next threshold is then either hitting level 105 or getting 105 transformation lore.

[Renian]

Chain Hauberk? I'm getting double chain from my calculations.

(100 Trans lore + 100 levels) / 5 = 40. Seed 1 summation bonus for 40 effective ranks is +8. Base bonus is +6 AsG for 1202, 8 + 6 = 14 = double chain.

EDIT: Nevermind. The trans lore bonus and level bonus do not sum. So you get a separate bonus from both to your AsG. Meaning, 100 trans lore / 5 = 20 = +5 bonus, 100 level / 5 = 20 = +5 bonus. 6 + 5 + 5 = 16 = Chain Hauberk.

[Rolis]

The play.net site minor mental spell page gives an example of a character witg 105 minor lental spells and 105 transformations lore and the equivelant armor base is brigadine

[Lulfas]

The play.net site minor mental spell page gives an example of a character witg 105 minor lental spells and 105 transformations lore and the equivelant armor base is brigadine

For a savant, 105/5 = 21, seed 1 is bonus of 6, 6+6 is 12 for brig. Monks get their level tagged in as well, so 100/5 = 20, so a bonus of 5, for a total of 6+6+5, 17, which is metal breastplate. Broke the monk into separate bonuses because that is how the play.net site does it.

[Rolis]

Ops after looking closer at the monk formula i noticed it didnt even take spells into account. Just savants.. Yea metal breastplate looks right.

[droit]

The absolute maximum would be augmented breastplate at 140 transformation lore ranks.

[Riltus]

I added bonus tables (Level and ML, Transformation ) and an armor table to Krakiipedia. Should make AsG calculations easier.

Anyone have a breakdown of how stats play into the UAC pieces? Value of Str vs. Dex, etc?

I believe that I heard Strength + Agility were the contributing factor to your UAF. That is if I remember correctly.. I can test to verify by changing those stats later.

how does armored evasion (lowers AP) figure into the heavier armor wearing UAC?

Anyone have a breakdown of how stats play into the UAC pieces? Value of Str vs. Dex, etc?

UAF = (Brawl rank * 2) + (CM rank / 2) + (STR bonus / 2) + (AGI bonus / 2) + (glove/boot enchant) + ((AVG held weapon enchant) / 2)

What that last bit means is that for held weapons, it takes the average enchant of both held weapons and divides it by two. So if you held a +5 brawler in one hand and a +15 brawler in the other hand, your UAF would increase by 5 (average of 5 and 15 is 10, divided by 2 = 5). I'll double check this when I get the chance.

I don't think non-monks will have very much use for 1202. First off, only monks get the level bonus to AsG. Second, using a scroll calculates lore at what, 1/3rd ranks? So a scroll caster would require 15 transform ranks for the first AsG bump, 45 for the second, 90 for the third, 150 for the fourth. I guess lbp ain't bad, but it would be costly.

Lore for scroll/items is calculated at either 1/2 ranks or 1/3 ranks, depending on whether it is a major circle (1/2 ranks) or a profession circle (1/3 ranks). Not sure how it works for a minor circle, but I suspect it is 1/2 ranks.

I missed the part in the spell desc that said only Monks get the bonus, that obviously changes things.

The lore part is what I was particularly interested in confirming/determining.

My wife was in the dressing room trying on some stuff, so I was being the good husband holding the bags and waiting while leaning on a rack. This woman was looking at herself in the mirror when she turned to me and said "Does this jacket make me look pregnant?"

Shock. It was like I had been given a gift from the universe. A woman who I had no relationship with on any level was asking me THE question. I had no obligation to say anything candy coated. I could just unload all the suppressed urges built up over the years and let loose with a "you look like a bloated warthog" Highlander quote. The temptation was overwhelming.

I nodded in respect to the higher power that had presented me with this situation as I decided to repay this gift with honesty, repaying this gift of opportunity with honesty to make the world a better place. I said "No, not at all."

To which she responded: "Oh, good. I'm going on a job interview and I don't want them to know that if I get the position I'll be going on maternity leave in a couple of months."

Deceitful whore.
