Data on Power Strike and knockdown?

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:
Quote
[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.
I voted Gurnisson cause of his fucking bendy pike, I swear noone can roflcopter stab like he can.

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.
