Powerful Wasters?

[Surly]

You can make a waster to train with... that hits for 6.

Or you can make a stick which hits for 2, and costs alot less... with much less chance of accidental injury.

Surely a waster should only hit for 1?

[tiddy ogg]

why not simply train with sticks?

[Antichrist_Online]

I think that was his point, that the wasters should have thier damage reduced.

[Surly]

Indeed, my point was that wasters should be 1 to make them more useful. Otherwise... why not train with sticks? Cheaper, and less damage... quite simply better.

Wasters are too powerful. Who would have thought I would have ever said that? They are solely training weapons, and should have a value of 0 or 1 to reflect that.

[SekoETC]

The difference should be in usage based deterioration. Sticks should deteriorate rapidly if used for battle training.

And don't you deal less damage with a bare fist than with a waster? It would be much better if barehanded fighting was a different skill (at least partially), then if you wanted to learn to fight with swords, you would have to use wasters.

using waster costs only 5% tiredness (i heard so)

[Nakranoth]

Another option may be getting padded wasters... Waster + fur/cloth + 1 day labor = padded waster which does the same damage as a stick, but is better for decay reasons.

Then you heard incorrect - it uses the generates the same amount of tiredness as any other weapon

I should let Surly have his way every once in a while. I can't promise when we'll get to it (should be soon, but I get yelled at for making brash with the database. ), or what exactly we'll do, but there is no reason it will upset the balance of the Cantrian universe.

[Surly]

So... come on RD..

[Pie]

I would, but I'm still worried that I might accadentally ruin something in the game.

Plus wichita hasn't told me i could yet *looks around suspitiously*

[Nakranoth]

Hey Wichita, thought about it enough for one of us to go in and change it?

[Surly]

Yay for the ever efficient RD!



Sorry guys, but seriously... what is there to think about once its been accepted?

[wichita]

It now hits for 1. Whack away.

[Surly]

Thank you.

This is especially good for those of us whom karma has a substantial loan
