4008, Orc Skills
Posted by Eriad on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Ok, recently I have been playing some Orcs, and some of the skills I just plain havn't got (literally or figuratively). So listing them here:

#1 Why would I use headbutt?
I can't dual wield while using it, I take damage, and there is no savage feeding or cheap shot (I beleive), so why not bash/trip?

#2 The Skrugga skills of Cower and Take Cover, do they rely on DEX? Or do they stand alone?

#3 Does Footstomp give a -DEX?
I would assume by the helpfile, but I don't have any real way of knowing.

You're fighting me, and I'm flying and have protective shield, control translucence, armor of thorns, one of the seven Shield of X invoker spells, or wraithform up. Now what?

This is not a rare situation, especially closer to hero.

Probably DEX related but also tuned with Orc DEX expectations.

Yes.
