Will there be new weapons?

New items don't just need to be for balancing purposes.  They could have the same stats as other items,  but a different look for flavor.

I'm pretty sure crush-through is deterministic. You either get crush-through on the player with X in strength and Y in shield weight every time or not at all.

I am pretty sure that is not how it works.

Question: Will there be new weapons?

Answer: There will be new weapons.

[Phew]

I am pretty sure that is not how it works.

Yeah, it's a percent chance based on weight ratio between the weapons/shield. I've blocked a maul then been crushed through on the next swing. And no to more crushthrough weapons, I already feel dirty when I get knockdowns with my military hammer, crushthrough would be embarrassing.

Crush through does depend on weapon v weapon and str v str though, I've blocked overheads from great mauls with my glaive at 18 str and a quarter staff at 27 str. It does depend on chance, weight v weight, and attackers stats.

Crushthrough in itself is too 'fixed' a feature. In actuality, especially with the block animation, is a one hander going to absorb a heavy 2H or pole overhead? No. It's going to slide down and off the blade onto your head. A more fluid system that continuously calculates weapon weights and whatnot would be more realistic.

But such widespread crushthrough would rustle more jimmies than it'd be worth.
