2 creature battles

Postby deathtongue » Thu Nov 13, 2003 6:13 am

that programming works out really wall, when fighting sand zombies i take zero dammage 9/10 times cause of my level and dex. but when i fight 2 of them it works out almost exactly so im taking half of the dammage delt to me, that is the same as me completely blocking one of thier attacks and the other one slashing me making me take all of the dammage from one of them

id just like the complement the c man for that programming

i'd have to disagree.

You get attacked by one creature. You Armor deflects some damage...you knock some away with your sheild / sword, etc.

You get attacked by the other...you armor deflects nothing...and obviously you're busy fighting the other to block with your shield / sword, etc.

Why is your armor useless against the second monster? Suddenly your thick plate of armor is like a peice of paper because you weren't looking? I think not.

The fights should go something like this...

DEFENDING You took 516 damage and deflected 432!
DEFENDING You took 649 damage and deflected 289!
ATTACKING You dealt 823 damage to SCARY MONSTER and 398 was deflected!

In this example you take two rounds of defending for every 1 of attack. Hence getting hit by two monsters. But in the second round your AC is less effective ( i factored by about .66 threw in some randomness too ) because your not blocking, but your Armor still blocks a good amount of the blow.

Now had it been in the current system it would be like this

DEFENDING You took 1165 damage and deflected 432!
ATTACKING You dealt 823 damage to SCARY MONSTER and 398 was deflected!

:?

Your armor DOES have an effect on the second creature...

Cory told me so.

Not until the first is dead...otherwise it is a very very small effect.

At least it does not show this in the deflection.

BUT, i will take your word.

Dont take my word. =) Take Cory's word. I refuse to have this be my word, as I cant see an effect either =P

Well I was merely taking your word in that Cory had said so =o).

Whether or not he lied to you is not your fault, and I would lay no blame on you for receiving false information. :D hehe
