TWC Katar - RT

[Haldrik]

Heyo,

My buddy is having some trouble calculating calculating min RT for TWC Katars. I can't seem to figure it out either.

According to Krakiii swing RT =

3 + 3 - 2 = 4 RT. This would be further reduced by AGI/DEX, to a minimum of 4 RT (Min for Katars.)

However, he can only achieve a minimum of 5 RT.

Thoughts?


You punch with a serrated black vultite katar at a cyclops!
AS: +200 vs DS: +166 with AvD: +36 + d100 roll: +43 = +113
... and hit for 10 points of damage!
Quick feint to the cyclops's right foot.
Little extra damage.
You punch with an elegant rolaren katar at a cyclops!
AS: +200 vs DS: +163 with AvD: +37 + d100 roll: +14 = +88
A clean miss.

Your math is right but you are off a little bit, the numbers are for your base speed which is not the same as RT. Base speed of 4 is a rt of 5. The base speed being 4 instead of 5 means you'll swing at 5 seconds even when encumbered some and your mstrike times will be slightly faster. I think the whole base speed and rt being different is a bit odd but it is the way things are. Base speed 1=3 seconds. 2&3=4 seconds. 4&5=5 seconds. At 6+, base speed equals roundtime, which is reduced based on agi/dex to a min of 5 seconds.

Interesting! I couldn't find that information anywhere. But it all seems to add up now.

Thanks!!
