#2802, "Some gameplay questions"


          

An answer to these questions would be grand..

1. Save vs Paralysis, this aids against the obvious muter spell and so on. But how about blackjack, choke and other similar knockout skills?

2. Two handed weapons, Does a giant wielding a two handed weapon parry better compared to a similar one handed one?

Hmm, forgot my other questions. Will have to come back with that one.

I'm pretty sure my answer to that question is on record somewhere. Now, whether or not it's still as accurate as a year ago, I couldn't say. Not won't, couldn't.

But I could not find the post , and as I'm not completely sure what you posted I dont want to state what I remembered as a fact. There are sooooo much "facts" out there that is taken for truth, when in reality people have no idea.

The gist is that I didn't think save vs. paralysis affected those skills.

Save vs Paralysis works on more than just the obvious muter spells.

>2. Two handed weapons, Does a giant wielding a two handed
>weapon parry better compared to a similar one handed one?

Only if you are dedicated to two-handed weapons.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Twist claimed a number of years ago that a 2-handed weapon parried better than a 1-handed weapon.
Felars also count as always using 2-handed weapons (if they not using a shield)

The key part of that question was 'giant wielding a two handed weapon'. Giants can wield 2h weapons with one hand. A giant dual wielding dragon slayers as a sword spec isn't going to be an uber-parrier compared to a giant dual wielding any other sword. My question is, if lets say a necro or invoker was wielding a 2h sword would their parry increase?

The key part -was- answered. The question that was -not- asked was -not- answered.
The answer to the giant dual wielding is no.
The answer on the necromancer was yes, if you bothered to read the post.
