crouching was just an idea but if it was someone doable it would cancel any block/attacks so you wouldn;t be able to attack/block when crouched.

would be ace just for hiding behind cover from arrows and for generally active dodging projectiles though :P

Whats ridiculous to me, is that a character with 3 agi, no ath, and the heaviest armor on in the game is almost as fast as me with 18 agi, 6 ath, and a light armor.  I should be able to run circles around such a character.

There is a big difference is base speed, but when your both running the difference really isn't that much. I agree its pretty ridiculous.

Athletics is fine atm in my opinion, but of course ninjas would never agree with that :).

bit unfair since only one of my ~6 characters is a ninja. the diff between my heavy armoured str stacked char and light armoured 9 althletics char is retarded: str char does twice as much damage and takes half damage as my ninja which makes the small speed increase look pathetic.

Definitely more of a running speed increase and an increase in jumping height wouldn't be too bad. This opens the door for more agile ninjas/light builds.

People already move really damned fast to begin with. Boosting athletics would just make combat sillier, grab a long weapon, stack agi+athletics, and play backpedal hero when someone swings back.
Best ban reason ever:

I checked, the only Vagabond I found was Wolves_Vagabond_TheCruel, that guy is now unbanned. Ban reason was: "calling Zotte a cockswoggler".

I agree, athletic should do more for players. And my idea is: let athletic make time between jumps shorter!

This. Battle will turn into an arcade bullcrap with backpedalling and jumps. Athletics-is-fine, period.

Bwaaa, i can not stand bunnyhoppers by now. If ther would be better jumping, then i would like to see more width rather than height.
