54353, More ranger questions
Posted by Ranger wannabe on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I have a few questions and one suggestion, in light of the recent STR changes
and the good work that daev has been doing lately.

* What stat(s) does ambush cripple affect? STR/DEX other? Is the stat random?
Does it have any additional effects like slow?

* How bad are the maledictions in terms of numbers (minus points and
duration) and how much does the cripple edge improve things?

Suggestion: Can the maledicted stat be chosen by the ranger on ambush?

* Is it possible for a beastmaster now to waylay with a bear or a tamed pet?
If not, is this planned for the future?

Always both STR and DEX. No additional effects.

Moderate; level for level on the order of magnitude of impale, minus the bleeding.

The relevant edge sharply reduces the damage and success chance penalties for doing a cripple ambush.

I'm happy with this as-is for now.

I haven't made any changes here and don't plan to at this time.
