a good helmet, can easily reduce the pain that the hammer would inflict, while on the other hand, even a weak hit on your legs is capable of making you lose your balance

Helmets in the late medieval era were exceptional, as was most plate armour. In plate duels IRL, the aim on the game was to hilt bash to cause concussion,or use blunt weapons. Both of these could cause knockdown, especially the concussion.

People would hilt-bash with long swords and then be able to snip the unplated areas more easily.

Not being funny but just lock this thread.

Ridiculous idea.

If anyone is going to refer to 'realism' again for this thread
Why dont i get a blunt weapon and smack you full on anywhere and expect you to still be standing you'll be a fking robot any blunt weapon anywhere is going to cripple you enough to drop a person to the ground so to add only hitting the legs is a stupid idea.

Sorry to be blunt but it's to the point! :)

Cheers

...this doesn't fits to a certain theme.

...there were always a chance to knockdown an enemy in the medieval past , doesn't matter which part of the body got a hit.

...this could interfere some peoples fun, plz respect historical authenticity.

butthurt preteen who cant leave it  :lol: just like me and the balance  :lol:

i disagree :D its all about mass contra speed :) if you are small and weak with a blunt weapon and you hit some huge Neanderthal he will say "ouch" and then he will rip you a new asshole

Yeah thats a different stpry thats going into peoples builds

Early if you have 2-3 power satrike your not going to do much
However

4+ powerstrike it will hurt and will most likely almost knock you down

So i'm not dissbuting that but knockdown inly on legs is stupid :)
