Title: [Poll] Deadly Backstab (New Ability Suggestion!)
Post by: manwithsnake on July 30, 2012, 09:26:41 pm
I played this mod called Mercenaries (Mod for M & B) and it had a dagger and long dagger which cRPG currently has. Even though they suck, the mercenaries mod made a plus to having a dagger or long dagger, called the Deadly Backstab. Basically if you stabbed someone in the back, it would almost or always kill them. But it is really hard to pull off unless you are pretty fast with athletics and have a high weapon mastery skill in 1h weapons. This could help ninjas or assassins in the game a lot (Not sure if there are any)
If you could take a look at this link, it is a help page on their mod and what they have. there is a topic about the "Deadly Backstab". Please take a look
http://www.mbmerc.com/?q=help
If your to lazy to look at the link, I copied the topic. What the deadly backstab is? Deadly backstab is a new ability of the daggers. Base damage of this kind of weapon is very low, but when you attack your enemy from behind, daggers become a deadly weapon. In most cases, your enemy will die with one powerful backstab.
This could be ultimate buff to pure agi builds (to get them in line with pure str builds).
I can imagine myself with 3/42 build, 14 ath and 12 wm, wearing pilgrim robes and using two daggers and an arbalest (150 wpp in 1h, rest in xbow).
Hunting bagges and other archery scum and finishing them from behind, and shooting at tincans.
Sounds like great fun, no?
I thought you said you hated archers who kite, Leshma; this is no different.
A weapon you can't block with forces you to run, rather than fight.

Historically daggers were carried cause they were useful for finishing off knights in plate by stabbing through the eye slits, armpits or other weak points of the plate. This could be a nice simulation for getting the drop on an opponent and stabbing them where it hurts.

I wonder if I can backstab a horse with this feature.

Here's a suggestion that won't impact the game much and is put in a large font size in a desperate cry for attention.
Since we have the knockdown feature, why not couple that with the dagger damage, and instead of backstab, they do "finish'er off" damage. ie Massive damage to players who are knocked down onto the ground.
I don't know if there is a "status" for those knocked down players (like polestagger), but if it were possible, daggers will do tremendous damage to downed teammates, and possibly a damage bonus to plate knights as per historical use.

You have got to think about this, It is very hard to fight with the Daggers, but this is the on buff that could turn useless crap into something good. You can't even block with it.

I think its a great idea. Of course it shouldn't be possible to openly fight enemies with it (= run around while they see you and hit them in the back). But I love the thought that you could sneak up behind a group of archers with a dagger and if they fail to realise whats going on you 1hit everyone in no time. Of course if they turn in time you'd be fucked/had to retreat or switch weapon.

Thats an imbecile suggestion . What's the difference between long dagger and great long axe ? Why would you 1hit a guy by striking with a dagger from behind while doing the same with a gigantic axe doesn't kill him ? This is not asassination mod did you ever see "assassins" running around with daggers in any bigscale medieval battlefield ? I don't understand why do you people suggest things that will encourage people to RUNAWAY from battle more in a battle game ? Seriously add lightsabres instead atleast it makes more sense since %60 of our community are 2h wielding Jedi wannabees.
TL;DR version:

You want to assassinate? Get a crossbow and aim for the head.
