Posted by Pro on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Land more attacks?
Cause more damage?

I don't think so.

Would it help them defend against someone fighting them with hand to hand?

I'm not 100% sure but I think it would help a little bit.

But as a shifter I have had my H2H go up while in form and fighting. Would this not imply my H@H was being checked for, thus used in some way? I may be totally midunderstanding how it works, I'm not trying to argue, I'm just asking to help me understand.

That's a fairly recent change and I couldn't say for sure
that it isn't anything more than giving shifters a chance
to improve H2H (in a pretty logical way) without having to
fight out of form to pick up the skill. That in itself is,
well, handy. It could just be that those improvements were
a side affect of the learn-the-weapon-you're-fighting code.
If I had to guess, I'd agree with Nepenthe that any actual
combat help would be on the defensive side, not on the
offensive side.

"It could just be that those improvements were a side affect of the learn-the-weapon-you're-fighting code."
I thought that code applied only to warriors/orcs and didn't include h2h though?

Oh, geez. Then that's not it. :P

Huh. Got me. I'll have to take a better look at it sometime.
That's probably a bug that you can improve H2H, although not one I'll be in a rapid fury to fix. Kind of like the lucky blow punches in form. I blame Cador.

7095, If it helps any I think it got thrown onto the bug board a while back.

I seem to recall Valg or someone saying it was by design, but I'll be damned if I would swear to it or can remember what reason they gave. I THINK the reply was along the lines of "Well there's no weapon in your paws, is there?" or something.
