Title: Crushthrough
Post by: DonNicko on October 22, 2013, 09:41:46 pm
I want to see that man, who can block great maul with 1h sword using just one hand, and shake his hand)

Not that far fetched to be able to deflect a maul with a sword. Obviously you wouldn't block it head-on.

Think you would break your wrist either way. More than likely you would just avoid the swing and then counter attack. But this is not a realistic game anyway so doesn't really matter

If some balance reasons were put forward then maybe it could be argued

Nah, you wouldn't break your wrist, because you wouldn't be blocking it, you would be deflecting it. Very little of the hammer's force would be transferred to you wrist, all you need to do is change its course a tiny bit to successfully deflect. Of course it wouldn't be easy or something you'd realistically do all the time, but it's possible.

Not to mention that this goes both ways: good luck blocking a flurry of attacks from a fast one-hander with a heavy great maul in real life.

Worth noting that the M&B blocking system is less of a "this is how I would block this blow" and more of a "this is the part of my body that I am defending."

Obviously you can't block a spear thrust by holding your weapon parallel to the ground at waist level, and obviously you can't raise your one-handed sickle and block a great maul.

I could use the sickle to hook the maul and disarm an attacker IRL.  Pls add this to the game.

You can block a weapon, even a very heavy weapon, but holding your own weapon above your head and slightly tilted.  It's called a hanging parry.
