(Warriors) Ceres wisps: it's meant to be 1:0.6 - 0.9 or something thereabouts.
(Warriors) Ceres wisps: in reality it was coming out more 1:0.8-0.9
(Warriors) Aces wisps: Er. In what context?
(Warriors) Ceres wisps: attacks per round.
(Warriors) Aces wisps: There are rounds?
(Warriors) Ceres wisps: heartbeat.
(Warriors) Ceres wisps: sorry.
(Warriors) Aces wisps: So 1 attack per 0.6-0.9 heartbeats?
(Warriors) Ceres wisps: pretty much.
(Warriors) Aces wisps: And then that's modified by action costs, which is based on weapon weight, hands, etc.
(Warriors) Aces wisps: Oookay. I get it now.
(Warriors) Ceres wisps: not really.
(Warriors) Aces wisps: No?
(Warriors) Ceres wisped: you get the chance to attack every heartbeat.
(Warriors) ManiacalRage wisped: If you're in berserk its like 1:1.8
(Warriors) Ceres wisped: whether you do or not depends on your action defecit.
(Warriors) Ceres wisped: your action defecit depends on how many actions you've spent relative to how many you've earned.
(Warriors) Aces wisped: What's heartbeat to time?
(Warriors) Ceres wisped: how much an action costs depends on the action, your skill, your weapon etc.
(Warriors) Ceres wisped: heartbeat is every 2 seconds.
(Warriors) Aces wisped: Mmmhmm. *ponders*
(Warriors) Ceres wisped: so, you get (in a normal room) 15 actions per heartbeat.
(Warriors) Aces wisped: So if I'm extremely (pardon) l337, my skill can actually affect how often I attempt a hit?
(Warriors) Ceres wisped: yes.
(Warriors) Aces wisped that he ponders whether he should bugrep the watchhouse for being dimensionally unstable.
(Warriors) Ceres wisped: an attack costs 20 actions - your skill modifier + your weapon weight modifier.
(Warriors) Ceres wisped: down to a minimum of 5 actions or up to a max of 40.
(Warriors) Aces wisped: Wow.
(Warriors) Ceres wisped: defense costs 15 actions - skill modifier + weapon weight or encumberance modifier
(Warriors) Ceres wisps: so, on average you attack slightly less than once per heartbeat (excluding berserking :)
(Warriors) Ceres wisps: how much less depends....
(Warriors) ManiacalRage wisps: Berserkin' rules. Its like insane mode+
(Warriors) Ceres wisps: but it was depending less than it should ahve.
(Warriors) Ceres wisps: That's pretty much it for combat actions.
(Warriors) Ceres wisps: trip, shove, feint & beat all work by using up peoples combat actions.
