Everyone get +4 for free against berserkers
Obs: I'm using berserker and All-Out-Attack as synonyms, even though they aren't for simplicity sake.
I was just looking at berserk and noticed that, you get no defense, no matter what. So, why not always do telegraphic attacks vs. barbarians and the like? It's a HUGE issue for a barbarian, yet, no one talks about that. Even stunned characters on the ground get a defense, but berserkers don't. You get 0 defense while berserk, yet, there are stories of berserkers with sword and shield. What about instead of removing the defenses from an All-Out-Attack putting a harsh penalty to them? Like -6, this way, a berserk would have a reason to go berserk with a shield, and the issue of telegraphic attacks would disappear. Obviously, a berserker with a greatsword and parry 10 would not have a huge advantage with his parry of 4, however, a guy with a large shield, combat reflexes and good skill in shield with block of 15 will have a reason to block. If not that, there should be at least a penalty to hit a berserker with a shield. Also, a berserker should be able to do a poor defense against a telegraphic attack. |
