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.

Bristenn feints low, but the triton combatant isn't fooled for a second.
DEAD
Awesomus just arrived.

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

Randt stares at Awesomus.
DEAD
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.

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."
Finros snickers.

In an awe inspiring display of combat mastery, a triton combatant engages Naitalya in a furious dance macabre, spiralling into a blur of strikes and ripostes!

Finros says, "It's somewhat randomized when you're using multiple pieces."
Rindon says, "Was wondering about that."
Finros says, "That's intentional."
Caroyst asks, "Is he dropping Eblade charges for each bit of gear?"


More to come...

[Menos]

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.

A triton combatant's slick skin begins to rapidly desiccate and dissolve away, leaving nothing behind.

Finros says, "Grapples can knock the target unconscious."
Bristenn smacks his forehead with the palm of his hand!
Finros says, "And slow them down."
Finros says, "And stuff like that."
Caroyst asks, "Is there an effect with cpress?"
Bristenn says, "I like that spine-shattering kick right thar."
Finros says, "Favoring a limb means that they're suffering from a bit of disablement."
Finros says, "Lessened attacks and defense, and so on."
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."
Finros grins.
Randt stares at a delicate pale blue sprite with braided hair.

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."
