Is there any legit info about how power strike effects knockdown? People are always saying it does, and that weight of the weapon also is a factor but it's always 'I heard it' rather than someone actually knowing.
-
Well, the formula for Crush-through (which I've specifically seen before) depends mostly on damage dealt (affected by powerstrike) and weapon weight. Not sure if knockdown uses something similar or not though.
-
I'm not entirely sure knockdown is boosted by damage dealt. I've knocked people down with glances before, and it's not nearly as consistent on my high strength character as crushthrough is.
-
I believe that Matey's current mosquito build wielding an iron mace is proof that knockdown isn't affected by power strike or at least the differences aren't too noticeable.
-
Well it was said before that Knockdown was merely determined by weight and chance, unsure myself though as it's been a while since I've played around with such things.

Sorry for necroing, but here's some nice info
Knockdown is:
[16:17] <@Urist> (rand(0.0, 1.0) < min(item_weight * 0.33, 2.0) * min((raw_damage - 20.0) * 0.5, 10.0) * 0.015)
[16:18] <@Urist> raw_damage has str, wpf, ps etc
[16:19] <@Urist> so ps etc influences kd but it is capped early
-
If I read this right, max knockdown chance is 30%, when your char has a weapon that is 6 kg or more and does raw damage of 40. Min knockdown chance is 0.
Also, the last parenthesis is superfluous.
-
iirc, the chance of knockdown increases when you hit the legs.

As the raw damage increases with lower armor, it makes sense.
-
raw_damage has nothing to do with armor. In fact, it is the potential damage BEFORE the armor calculations take place. So armor DOES NOT influence knockdown chance.
