nudge distance

[Penitent]

What determines shield nudge distance?

Shield skill?  Shield weight?  Opponent weight?  Strength?  Some combination?

Edit: Ah, I thought we're talking about the nudge reach. Damn english, too hard.

Nudges have two different active knockback vectors.

For shield:
Strength / 3 + Shield skill * 2 for both the initial raw damage and knockback, then each nudge has another multiplier (defense nudge has a 10x and 3x multiplier to the 2 knockback vectors, but damage / 5 for instance). Finally, there is one last penalty against defending/non-attacking opponents, knockback / 4 against defenders, and knockback / 2 against non-attackers.

Others have the same penalties against defenders/non-attackers, but they have strength * 10 and strength * 30 for initial knockback vectors.

My impression is that kick/slash is easier to accomplish than nudge/slash.  Is that accurate or should they theoretically be the same?

Kick slash is much easier, especially since the stagger durations were reduced at one point for the nudges. I think you have a slim chance of getting a free hit with certain nudges against an attacking opponent.
