SKills and Specials NOTES!!!!
All
budoka will start out with the commands : style, fix, judge style lets
them change their style of combat/movement they can learn up to 7 diferent
styles...takes 6 levels to master a style...they can have a max of 13 levels to
split between the styles as they advance they will have choices for the commands
they will use:
Joining : kick or sweep level 15 : assault, whirlwind
or kata level 25 : sense or hide/sneak/unhide level 50 : golden hand( heal
) or cleanse( weak restore ) level 100: evade ( 50% duration shield basically
) or displace( up to 10 images) level 200: abduct or rift
upon joining
they have an effect added to them that will change how muchstyles affect their
bonuses...after 1 day it will at 25% of what the stylewouldadd...after 4 days
the effect removes itself and the styles will give theirfull bonus
They
will also have a property "style_list" added to them...this is the property that
saves the styles that they learn from 4 npcs placed in the guild and
annexes...raiden, taku, buntaro, and shadow....you have up to 13 style points
that you can split between the types of styles as you choose...it takes 6 points
to master a style..... when they use a style it ups their skill_bonus for
whatever style they are using by about ( ( fighting level + covert level ) / 2 )
* style level ) / 6 for offense styles and a lower number for the defensive
styles...should be about 350 or so for offense and i believe around 1000 for
dodging and about 600 for parry...they can use as many styles as they know at
once the number will reduce the bonus ...soif they are using 2 styles the bonus
for the skills those 2 affect will be cutin half.
- From Mashemar Notes, May, 2001Assault:
An unarmed special attack. This is their best attack. It no longer
has a knockout capability but it stuns your opponent. While stunned,
your opponent will be unable to cast a spell or use a special attack.
The stun capability is not automatic, there is a percentage chance
of this effect for assault.
Kata:
This is a weapons apecial attack; either sharp or blunt. Its
similar to strike but it is slower.
Whirlwind:
This is the Budoka area attack using weapons. I have not heard many
good things about whirlwind.
Which One:
In Mashemars opinion, Assault is the best Budoka special attack due
to the stun capability.
I like the idea of Kata, but since it was downgraded around the Jan
2001, I have not heard many good thinks about it. I personally am
going to try it with my next Budoka. Assault is the most difficult
to advance at low levels because it runs off unarmed. Kata would be
the easiest to advance at low levels.
Mashemar's Advancing NOTES :
At low levels I always XPed with a rainbowed claymore because it did
more damage than bare hands and the Bagh Nakhs(save level ~40) did
not save. I bought Platemail in Pesvint Armoury which
actually protected very good at low level, well once it was
enchanted. I used the platemail until the Black Leather Armour
from the guild save (around level 40). Once you get the Black Leather
Armour, get it rainbowed and use it till Breastplate (from Valkrie)
saves.
As the Great Wise One Charredsoul always said "Wear All The FUCKING
Armour You Can, It Makes A Difference". Refer to the Newbie Section
for save level 0 armours. I used the Claymore till around level 80,
then i did not see any difference between meleeing with a Rainbowed
Claymore, or 2 Blazing Bagh Naghs. Once beyond level 80, only use
the Bagh Nakhs. I will try some maxxed swords when I max and figure
out the difference in melee between a 2 handed weapon, 2 one handed
weapons, and unarmed.
Last Note:
the other good thing about assault is that you can use it when you
are holding weapons. I have noticed that my assault is a little
better when I have no weapons in my hands - including the Bagh Nakhs.
