Damage Types

Just some ideas to make combat a little more interesting

Stun: Chinchompas, Magic, and Crush attacks may stun an opponent...this is a normal stun

Numbness: Ice spells will now cause you to not see some of the damage dealt to you until it's to late (so it would seem like you were getting lucky but then the extra damage would all flow out)

Nerve Damage: Stab, Slash, Ranging and Magic may now cause you to fumble and lose a turn of combat or slow your weapon speed

Sear: Fire, Smoke, Chinchompas, and Salamanders amy cause you to unwield metal weapons and armour if pack isn't full

Adrenaline: Powerful slashes on you may lead to a strength increase + numbness

Feel Free to Suggest others as well

Ummm... don't know a shorter word, but when hit with an air spell, you could get the 'Air-Knocked-Out-Of-You'

Water-Logged - get hit by water spells/water related stuff.

Choking? Earth spells?

ROFL!

I wouldn't say "Stun" is a damage type... Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Narture, Shadow, Stab, etc, are damage types. Stun, in your context, if the effect of certain damage types. But it's a possible idea...

3mpty...this is really beginning to piss me off

Comment on my idea! Don't just always start with grammar and syntax correction

PS: these are more effects than "damage types"

Really Dark? He's giving constructive criticism.

How is that constructive? Now i can change a word in my title...woohoo...helpful

It's constructive because the title is the first thing anyone reads about an idea... you are trying to sell "Damage Types" to people, but you're not suggesting what I think is damage types and that is my criticism. I then suggested an alternative, which is the constructive part.

I always put the criticism before the appraisal because appraisal - why can't you realise that rather than complain that I do it that way? When I read a thread on the forums I always have the post open next to it and I comment on it as a go through - it makes more sense to do it that way round as it's chronological. After I get to the end of the thread (ie, the end of the comments on the thread) I write my opinion on the idea and whether I support. I could paste that before everything else, but I don't.
