An ability given to all fighters of the realm, an apprentice, novice, or even greatly adept warrior can cause great damage to their foes knowing all about melee combat and style.

Well, depending on your weapon, you'll be able to deal a critical hit, which does twice as much damage as a normal hit (duh?). Basically...

You attacked a Bunny with a Halberd for 60 points of damage.

You attacked a Bunny with a Halberd for 120 points of damage.

This may be hard to program since all weapons a fighter can use would need to be re-coded in order to do this, since in my original idea is to make it different weapons have different %s.

For example...

Library info for Oak Staff:
Base damage: 4, Can be used by: clerics, druids, fighters, mages, paladins, rangers, thieves, berserkers, Description: A plain oak staff, it is about 5 feet long with a grainy surface covered with small knots and abrasions down the entire length of the staff. It is light weight and durable., Level needed to equip it: 1, Magical: No, Vamparic: No, Armor: 0, Strength modifier: 0, Intelligence modifier: 0, Dexterity modifier: 0, Constitution modifier: 0, Wisdom modifier: 0, Charisma modifier: 0, Poison chance: 0, Poison/30s damage: 0, Monster damage table: skeleton:1.25|skeletal:1.25, Mana leech: . Crtl: .05 <--- which would give a 5% chance to deal a critical hit (although all classes can use the weapon, crtl hit can only be done by a fighter)

The weapons would have different values, which also makes it unlikely to be put in since JLH would have to change all the weapons. So maybe just re-code fighters and make a certain %. I do not beleive the % should go up at all nor be above 5%, considering in 2 rounds a fighter delivers 10 hits, and spelled hitting for 200+? No, shouldn't happen alot.

Imput welcome, little or no flamage please.

if your asking ppl not to flame then you dont actually want input you want everyone to agree... not gona happen ppl geta say what they think its how it works newho i like the iidea prefer the double wepaon idea of mine but woteva as long as fighters are made cool again

[Rappy_Ninja]

I dont care what they add at this point just as long as it makes fighters good

[combusta]

so basically, a figher could hit for 200, BS, nothx, goodnight, 2 overpowered, maybe just PvM?

[Thunderja]

Nice idea.

[Crane]

Maybe not double damage, because Fighters can hit for quite a bit of damage already when they reach level 30... *1.5 possibly.

To be honest, I have seen other suggestions that might suit the Fighter class a bit better than this, but all in all it is a sound idea.

Rather than chance of critical hit being totally weapon-specific (although I admit that certain swords would probably have a higher chance than a staff), should it not be dependent on level and/or a stat as well?

[Satterlee]

Critical Hit? Multiplying damage by 2?

Somebody has been a good little Pokemon Trainer, haven't they!?

[Rappy_Ninja]

^


ALL

RPG games have critical hits

[Ryuku]

Don't blame him Rappy, Pokemon is all he plays

[Perfection]

good idea

[Sneaky]

Sam, your precious zerkers hit for way more than a fighter does on a regular basis.

I like it .

not x2.

spell an arch halfling fighter with bot/sov whatever you want, will hit for over 100. just imagine dexing to the ying-yang, 23 dex, now RF/Enhance, you have a good shot hitting 6/6 specially on zerk. Now hit 6/6 600 damage, that rounds anything normaly, but chance of getting that is slim, so, lets say you hit 4/6 but snap, you crit on 2, 200 200 98 97. 595 damage, can you seen anything being difficult?

[Perfection]

hmm i took suggestion as it would not happen often deffinatly not twice in one round, more like maybe once in 10 - 15 round if ur lucky *shrugs* still is good idea for a fighter to have a 'critical' hit, sure if i was to happen often(if at all) have it x1.3 instead of double damage.

With all due respect, I think I can rightfully say having had my main of 3 years as a fighter, fighters hit like mincing fairies.

Make them not be able to do while spelled then?...

[Julius]

Make them not be able to do while spelled then?...

makes no sense to do it that way, "we are giving fighters an ability, but guess what, you cant use it when you are gonna pvp since you want to spell up, but you can give your zerk 35 strength and +10% to hit"

see what I'm, saying?

critical hit % would have to be level based:

1-10 1%
11-15 2%
16-20 3%
21-25 4%
26-29 5%
30 6%

x1.3 damage would make a reasonable(i believe) increase while not overpowering.

[fallen]

or.... maybe leave it as x2 but just put the chance % on the last stam of 6 and that it could only be done with a full stam or something /shrug....but I agree fighters need a little something to make them competitive agian!!!!

[Hansol]

Sound idea. I agree with julius though... and also... The idea of having swords hit more than staffs... That would need taking into consideration... % would have to be put on every weapon aswell as the chance to hit from your level... That way.. it may even give some people a chance against other people with cobalts... maybe.. I dno.. Just a thought tbh... but then again.. A fighter with a cobalt with this critical hit could be seen very un fair. If he were to hit for 200 + he'd be regaining health quite easily.

Maybe the idea is to complicated?

[Julius]

Fighters are profficient with any item that can cause pain. Limiting abilities by weapons is not needed. Fighter FTW

[Element]

Maybe in nightmist 2 all items could be coded to have a rate for critical hit and then all classes could use this including spells but maybe fighters would be givin a class ability +5% todo so or something like that

[Ryuku]

Well, thanks for bumping an old topic.

I think if this was implemented, it should always be 5%, getting more stam, you'll hit it more likely, so at lvl 30, with 6stam, it's basically like the % increased, if you get what I'm saying.

Basically.
1stam 5% a round
2stam 10% a round
3stam 15% a round (then you only regain 2, making it 10% a round again)
4stam 20% a round, going to 15% on regain
5stam 25% a round, going to 15%
6stam 30% a round, going to 20%

Obviously for arch, this would only happen once every 4 rounds about, and if you're attacking something with armor and you're unlucky enough to hit a critical while their armor blocks most of the block, 25 goes to 50.

Armor blocks partially, half, most, about 50% of the time, that's why I think this would balance fighters, because rangers/zerk can hit a full round, armor coming into play, but 0% of partially, half, or most armor blocking the blow.
