Title: 2h weapons penalty on horse?
Post by: Penitent on January 11, 2012, 07:38:24 pm

When using a 2h weapon from horseback (example: longsword, katana) without a shield, is there a penalty to the speed or damage?

Sorry, not much experience with 2h weapons...

23% or so.

I believe it's only 15% for 2hers, 23% for polearms. For some reason polearms get hit with a * .9 damage reduction after the already .85 that both 2hers and poles get.

Code: [Select]

   if (weapon_type == 'two_handed' or weapon_type == 'polearm') and (has_shield or mounted):
      raw_damage *= 0.85
     
      if weapon_type == 'polearm':
         raw_damage *= 0.85
     
      if weapon_flags & itp_two_handed:
         raw_damage *= 0.9

That says polearms get a 0.85 twice and twohanders get 0.85 and then 0.9 unless I'm wrong.

In either case it's important to note that while they may get a raw damage decrease speed bonus seems to more than make up for it.

k, got it clarified a bit. The last line refers to Two-handers that cannot be used with a shield. So a Longsword would only see a .85 damage modifier, not the additional .9. That code is from native where you can use the Sword of War from horseback among other things.

Applies to the 2h Axes and shortened military scythe in cRPG then.

Also 2h weapons use 1h animations on horse which makes them slower in my eyes (Excluding the thrust).

There's also a severe malus on speed. Roughly 25%
