[OOC] Nexus Of Worlds Multiverse

It does apply when you swing them. When the sword, even when using a downward swing, hits something that it can't pass through, it will not cut it (you already said this).

As the sword is cutting through an object, it's losing forward momentum (energy). As it's losing energy, it's overall cutting power is decreased.

Your sword can be forged from high-grade steel supplemented by CNTs, with an edge to match, but if you don't have the strength behind your swing, your blade is nothing more than a useless piece of metal.

I'm not getting into an argument.

[ASTA]

Not arguing, just telling.

You might know something that I don't.

[LeeRoy]

Okay, let's just say this is a hypothetical situation. You have the perfect amount of strength to pierce and cut through human bone and flesh with ease. Alright.

If you stab them with a spear or sword, stabbing motion. You're thrusting it into them, and probably out the back. BUT, once the flesh meets the hilt, the forward movement stops. Because it has nowhere to go.

NOW

If you swing your blade in a slicing motion, axe/sword/halberd/whatever, your blade has nowhere to stop if you can go clean through them. So if you swing it, it'll cleave them in two. And it won't stop until you make it stop.

Yeah the fight between you two won't result in any insta kills I am afraid, it is gonna be a slug fest.

Only Forsoff has that power.

Well, that's assuming the foe is unarmored. Things become more complicated once you factor in protective measures, and even more odd once you throw in the nature of the protective measures (such as the material that they're made from or the angle of the attack). I'm pretty sure a lot of personnel armor, specifically plate armor, has angled and rounded surfaces that help to not only stop slicing hits, but to also deflect them.

For some reason, WWII-era sloped tank armor (like on the T-34 or the Panther tank) comes to mind.

What.

[LeeRoy]

Yer not grasping what I'm getting at. Can someone else explain this better than I can? Because I think I'm getting my point across quite clearly.

A friend of mine, who is MUCH better at art than I am, did a pencil sketch of Sukoh that I'm going to use as his official artwork now. Here's the pic:

So basically an ordinary bear.

[LeeRoy]

Except massive and fat as hell, yes.

[Asuras]

That's when you need a reference human. :3

I understand what you mean.

[LeeRoy]

So tell me, is the ass end of this thing armored? Because that's kinda vital to know.

Literal ass end, not figurative.

Your going to have to be a bit more specific.If your talking about it's back, then yes. Much like the photo.

Assuming you mean the tanar'ri.

[LeeRoy]

I mean its ASS.

I didn't see the edit!

Well his back is, his lower butt I imagine is not since that might make sitting awkward now that I think about it.

[LeeRoy]

Good to know. Your day is about to become awful.
