I was thinking that since everyone seems to want a new fighter skill i could suggest one that may or may not be a good idea.

There are two classes that can multi-attack: the Ranger, and the Berserker.

Their attacks are: Rapid fire, and Berserk. Respectively.

Though my idea may seem short-sighted and ill-concieved, i did put a lot of thought into it.

Spin Attack: a fighter is very well trained and is able to spin around with a weapon and strike multiple targets around themselves.
This attack would deal 1.5 times normal damage and strike at one person per stamina on the square.
The accuracy of a fighter would take a penalty: reduced to 80% of origional for ten seconds per stamina.
The attack would cost all the fighter's stamina.


Tell me your thoughts, but please be gentle.

Nice thoughts, but it would be like wrath of gods. Only much less successful. I like the basic concept. However once again, I believe more all out stamina usages are not needed.

less successful but would generally kill everyone not nopk'd.

im for a spin attack, but if a fighter was spinning and attacking, i doubt he would be hitting for 1.5x damage. more like .5x damage. i think if it was added, would need to hit nopk people sicne you really cant see who your hitting, and only use 1 stamina

lol this reminds me of barbs ww in d2 + its dumb anyways...

put that 1 counter attack thing or w/e or stances

So you'd be able to hit 6 targets on a square for 1.5x dmg..but..what happens when there are more than 6 people, it fails, or cannot work? I don't really see this working, just...spin attack reminds me of those little gobblins from F-F-Tactics..cute..but..very unnefective, and if it is fixed to .5x plus the low dex, as well as armor adding it... I'd see this becoming a un-used type of action. I don't think it'd work for training, and if it did, it'd just make it more difficult due to lower hit/dmg percentage..would probbly just add a weak abbility that would allow for more whining about the fighter class? Please tell me if I'm way off in what I'm saying however, I could be taking this the wrong way. I know that its with the intent to improve, and you say its thought through, however. A bad idea, is still a bad idea even with alot of thought behind it, eh?

hmm, i guess i misunderstood it. yeah, this would be a weaker version of wrath of gods, i still think its too powerful though

If left at 1.5x dmg, yes. But if it was bumped down to .5x or possibly even caused for a slower stamina regeneration due to all that frightful spinning..who knows. I just don't think it'd be worth all the effort,but I'd not object looking at formulas/other sugestions on how exactly this would work in a non-overpowered-sensible-effective manner.

the accuracy penalty is cumulative so if you do it twice you are at 80% of 80% of the normal hit chance

puts it down somewhere to 64% accuracy if you use it twice in one minute
