Topic: "Rolemaster Classic: Arms Law" Options Poll

[Skaran]

I voted for most including the add together bow and arrow bonuses, but to get a magical crit the arrow has to be the thing with the magic bonus.

[Pit Ote]

Ooops, I use the higher of the two. I always use the best when there are several bonus with the same purpose (with some exceptions for cursed or intelligent objects)

Option 16:

Watch out, you're opening the door to Intentional Knockback attacks...
If only size was a stat, you could do knockback so easy...
More likely, it will be tied to OB and maybe the attacker's weight (irregardless of their body type) and not the defender's weight, so a War Troll will get knocked back the same as a halfling or pixie... 

If this option is handled well, I'd like it.  If it's half-a**ed like some of the other options, then I'd rather not see it.  This one in particular has no easy fix, and would require a good bit of work and playtesting to accomplish.

This aspect of combat was actually addressed in RMC Creatures & Treasures. . .a table of attacker/defender size for melee attacks, and how it affects knockback.

Gave you a laugh point. and added it to my sig.

[Balhirath]

Hmm you'll have to make it a little bit bigger. Just big enough that you can actually read it (Without knowing it), but sp smal that you dont really notice it

[Skaran]

It's perfectly legible on my screen if I increase the display in IE to 1000%.
