New description for 0% attack...

[formerly known as hf]

Ok, so you attack someone with 0% force with your bare fist, and you slap them - or poke animals (much to my juvenile amusement... )

How about adding a description to 0% with weapons?...

You hold (your weapon) to (persons) throat.

You hold (your weapon) to (persons) throat.

Thereby surrendering the ability to hurt them for the next 8 hours?

[Revanael]

Unfortunately, yes. But I'd like to be able to visibly hold my sword to some idiot's throat.

Especially if it wasn't yet documented, so that the player was surprised as well.. Now that would be fun.

holding a bone club to someone's throat isn't quite as meancing as it sounds . perhaps it shouldn't limit the ability to attack and is a threatening pose
so things like. you hold sword tip to throat. you knock an arrow and take aim at.you hold knife to persons throat.you raise club ready to strike. that kinda stuff. then if they get antsy ya just do it again with an attack. or possibly a threaten button or something.

So, in other words, you want a button that falsely implies that you are guaranteed the first hit? I could see "taps with [weapon]", but the point of functional menacing poses is the idea, "I can hit you before you hit me". Meaningless poses you can just RP, as long as you don't RP it stupidly (*He knocks an arrow on his trusty bow*). Although it is a good question whether you can emote with a weapon that people can't see.

[The Industriallist]

Note from previous discussions: You can emote using any item or resource you actually have. It's a breach (not CR, but something like that) to emote implying you have something you don't.
