#17426, "Questions/ comments on berserker edges"


          

First all of, you can't choose them now, it seems. Bug or still in work?

Secondly, some comments on separate edges

GLUTTON
A berserker with this edge can continue to eat when any other would be too full.

<This one is basically pointless if you had some Thrak's loving. If you know what I mean. Is it intentional?>

'DISEASE CARRIER'
While all berserkers possess an exceptional resistance to disease from a life
lived in excrement and squalor, some have adapted to instead act as carriers
for contagious diseases, resisting them less ably but equally ignoring many of
the deadly affects of such afflictions.

SEE ALSO: EDGES, PLAGUE, CRIMSON SCOURGE

<What does it mean? Specifically the part (ignoring many of
the deadly affects of such afflictions). Less strength loss? Less damage?>

'DESECRATED HIDE'
A berserker with this edge has so descended into filth and idle blasphemy that
his very skin is desecrated, turning aside blessed weapons with greater ease.
If the berserker has recently fashioned a desecration totem, this effect is
much stronger.

SEE ALSO: EDGES, DESECRATION, BLESS

<Could orcs with this edge gain the ability to sense holy items on the first place (like affected by detect consecration or something)? So far there is no way for orc to say if the item is holy or not>

'COMPACT FRAME'
A berserker with this edge may bash gnome-sized opponents so long as his own
size is unaltered.

<It doesn't affect succes of bashes on normal sized races, does it?>

'SUPERIOR LEVERAGE'
A berserker with this edge is more effective with two-handed weapon offensive
techniques of all kinds.

SEE ALSO: EDGES, SLICE, THRUST, CHARGE, PIERCE, PIN, POLEARM, SPEAR

<Since mamlauks don't seem to get any adapt specific edges, wouldn't it be logical to improve whomp and hack for them (if mamlauk is using two-handed weapon to perform them) in the same manner if they have this edge?>

Thank you for answers!

Bug. FNCR.

Yes. Consider it a 'pay' alternative. Not every orc is eligible for said loving; for them, there's a way to get something similar at a cost.

Specifically, strength loss and regeneration problems. I don't think damage is affected, except indirectly since you would be healing better.

Hey, there's a guy in the Inn who identifies stuff.

We'll talk about it.
