Signifiers for lag on bash. For example:

1 round - Bash sends you off balance
2 round - Bash knocks you to the floor
3 round - mighty Bash sends you flying
4 round - tremendous bash throws you through the air

Or something to that effect. If you wanted to keep some
unpredictability, you could have something like this.

1-2 rounds Bash knocks you to the floor
3-4 rounds tremendous bash throws you through the air

Something like that.

How about an echo for when you recover from a bash?

The other thing I've always wanted corresponding to bash and trip is a warrior skill that would let them use combat skills BUT NOT FLEE OR RETREAT while being stunned. It seems like the type of thing a skilled warrior would be able to do...keeping his wits about him while being knocked to the ground.

All you've got to do is write a program as smart as you are.
1154, Yeah. Let's all just run around hoping to get lucky. n/t

can't believe I thought relying on luck was for idiots.

You're getting older Zulg, and your post
become.... hmm... less insightful

This idea is not about number crunchering
but about knowing what actually happened.

In general, the gods let people see what happened
to them MANGLES or OBLITERATES.
It isn't extremely bad to let them know when their
lag is about to wear off instead of just
making mad guesses or spamming lag-less commands ( like "look" )
just to realize are they still lagged or no.

We don't give complete information on a lot of things. Some uncertainty keeps things interesting, especially with the gradual (and unfortunate) rise of trigger-whores and other automation.

You should use those 'Someone has summoned you!' trigger more often, to make trigger whores waste return potions, expecially with the money supply being cut down.

Trigger whores usually learn the hard way how triggers will get you killed more often than not. I like trigger whores, they make pking them easier. :)
