Re: Grievances

I'd just like to say that I think the new armor and mounted dodge penalties are the best thing to ever happen in CLOK, and in line with what happened to stealth users a long time ago with the addition of terrain penalties and paranoia effect. People used to wear full plate and walk around like it wa...

Re: Less of a chance of a stun when disarming

I'd like to suggest a random stun lasting from 6 to 12 seconds to address the variability in stun time some have suggested.

Re: Sparring ideas?

I would recommend wearing a sturdy helmet during training with even the flimsiest of weapons, if saftey and longevity of the sparring session is your primary concern. It seems obvious that this would be preferable over sparring without protection. One concern brought up in the past that I cannot re...

Re: Sparring ideas?

I do quite a bit of sparring on Zuki and it's not hard to hold back a bit and avoid killing someone. You just have to pay attention. That being said, I'd like to see rooms with a variety of qualities. Maybe a pit to fight it out to the death in (possibly with an occassional npc audience, might be a ...

Re: Pain Suppression

Another possibility for pain suppression would be ignoring roll reductions (to some extent) from wounds and functioning as if the body part is not wounded (or wounded less severely). This is largely mental as well, consistent with your friend's thoughts, and would be super cool!

Re: intermediate and probably advanced combination strikes

I'm not sure why we would lose these attacks in tactic offense (not that I really use it). Reducing our damage potential when we're supposed to be going all out and focusing on attacks seems a bit strange. Any chance adding these attacks to tactic offense could be considered?

Re: Pain Suppression

Muay Thai and multiple styles of karate practice body hardening techniques. There are some rather extreme examples for both martial arts. If you'd like a good example, you can look up Morio Higaonna and some of the "power training" videos he's produced. It's not uncommon to plunge hands in...

Re: Pain Suppression

I like the idea of special armor if we're going to need it for protection, but from Arlen's rp it seemed like Brotherhood shunned any kind of armor and weapons. We even have an ability that is reduced in functionality if we wear any armor. From discussions with Jirato, it seemed like brotherhood mem...

Re: Pain Suppression

Considering that our natural armor has now been removed, are we now expected to wear armor in battle? Will there be any option to reduce wounds considering it takes a brawler a very long time to kill things and we're exposed to a lot of hits? Perhaps this could be some sort of focus type ability tha...
