Author	Topic: Weapon types?..
Voorok Apprentice Member # 8064	written Sunday, February 11 2007 12:37 Profile #0 Melee weapons are marked with a specific type- melee attack, shortsword, broadsword, stunblade, but appearently nothing else is mentioned about it. What do they mean, exactly? 'stunblade' partially explains itself, but the rest don't. Posts: 2 \| Registered: Sunday, February 11 2007 08:00

A broadsword does a bonus 1-5 points of damage for every level of Strength and Melee Weapons. That's the only real difference between them. Later you'll find other special weapons like the Oozing Blade, which are also mostly self-explanatory.

Randomizer Law Bringer Member # 6785	written Sunday, February 11 2007 19:49 Profile #2 Stun blade is supposed to have a better chance of stunning your opponent. Most people upgrade to the steel broadsword since dead opponents don't need to be stunned. Posts: 4643 \| Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00
Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Sunday, February 11 2007 20:59 Profile Homepage #3 On a similar subject, what does the 'vampiric touch' do? I'm playing a lifecrafter so I can't really use a sword, but I'm just curious. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Sunday, February 11 2007 21:04 Profile Homepage #4 Vampiric touch gives you some health whenever you hit an enemy. I'm not really sure how useful it is because I spend my time using non-melee weapons, but it's nice. —Alorael, who recommends not getting hurt so you don't need to start sucking the life out of your foes.

Randomizer Law Bringer Member # 6785	written Sunday, February 11 2007 21:57 Profile #5 Vampiric touch gives you a chance of draining health from your enemy, I think equal to the total vampiric touch of your items. This chance happens on any attack. Even non-lethal spells like essence shackles will trigger the message that you drained them. In playing with a thirsting knife, the gloves and greaves that have it I found that I wasn't getting back enough to make it a useful way to play. There are plenty of better items for a lifecrafter.

On a related note, wearing vampiric touch gear while attacking or casting a spell on an undead creature seems to damage you instead of healing you. Fortunately, there are so few undead in the game that this isn't usually a problem. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Monday, February 12 2007 05:57 Profile Homepage #8 The Stunning Blade doesn't have a better chance of stunning. It actually adds several levels of stunning directly. This is significant because unlike G1-3, where every attack had a good chance of stunning if it did a lot of damage, stunning is rare. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Is it just me or do Shock Tralls do the same thing? I know that my servile was getting the hell stunned out of him against Khyryk once he started making Shock Tralls.
