[OOC] Arena FAQ/Advice

[Dymion]

I'm afraid I don't quite know how to add pictures.

It is the magma mage.

[Rilla]

Get the link and use the img tags.

Haha.

That one. I never did properly finish him.

[Dymion]

Figured it out. Thanks

[GreivousKhan]

Honestly though, we really, really do need a guide.

[Rilla]

And what shall the guide say?

[GreivousKhan]

And what shall the guide say?

@Rilla

What a prep is, how do battles work? What kind of moves require prepping? Can one have lower grade physical invulnerability? Can you block and dodge? How?

That sort of thing. These are all real questions ppl ask me too...

[Rilla]

So, instead of saying we need one, why not write one?

[Dymion]

I finished a basic outline of my first character based off of what seems an acceptable combat CS format, and would like some critique as well as a practice combat with it so that I can see how well I stack with the elites of this forum. Any volunteers?

Also, how do you create those yellow links in your signatures?

[GreivousKhan]

@Rilla

Because I want an answer to some of these questions too. Foo

Also Skalla does not believe in me.

[Rilla]

Thus the reasoning for the FAQ. You ask, you get an answer.

Serious question. I don't recall this ever happening, but what would happen if a punch hits a woman's boobs? Is it just like a more well defended chest strike? I'm sure it would be painful but we disregard that factor a lot so in terms of actual damage I think it would be largely ineffectual, right (given the punching person isn't a lot stronger than them, of course)? If it was effective i would think it would be used more.

You obviously don't have breast. You have any idea how sensitive those can be?

Don't answer that.

Anyway, in terms of actual damage would depend allot on cup size and if the person is using their bare hands/knuckles (along with where on the breast they struck.)

Edit: also, groin shots to females, depending on where/how they hit...can hurt allot too... not as much as a male probably but food for thought.

Khan, are you a woman that fights a lot?

@GreivousKhan

I'm not sure just being sensitive would cause the attack to be effective. If you were just going about your daily life and got hit then the sensitivity would be a pain (pun intended), but if you're in a battle, how much would one truly care? I guess it would be up to the roleplayer being attacked if they decide sensitivity plays an issue, or in a story where you could come up with the plot, but it just doesn't seem believable to me that a character would get hit in the breasts and be taken out of the fight.

I know groin shots would hurt either way, but would it be worse than getting hit anywhere else?

Guys getting hit in the groin is still done mostly for laughs, but does happen a few rare times in a serious manner. Probably not exploited as much as it could.

[GreivousKhan]

I try to stay out of trouble. Anyway, topically strikes that hit the nipples will naturally hurt the most. More so if it happens to be that time of the more month.. But I don't that will ever come up in a match.

Hmm. Anyone willing to help a newbie figure his way around the Arena?

@ImportantNobody

Well if you're just worried about putting them out of comabt, then there is not much point in hitting someone in the chest anyway, won't normally yield great results aside from maybe knocking the wind out of them (though a large enough cup size could avoid that.)

Unless someone is trying for a five palm style strike, a single punch, assuming we are dealing with normal humans, is not likley to take anyone out.

@GreivousKhan

Huh? GreviousKhan has been female all of this time? My whole life is a lie! How could this-(sees ice cream). Oh look, ice cream (goes and eats it).

So anyways, I was thinking it would be believable to simply grimace and keep going as normal upon such a hit, but am still not entirely convinced either way if you think it would be that sensitive, but at the same time chest attacks supposedly not being very deadly anyways. But then again if they are fantasy characters who can be thrown into buildings, the groin shots or any other "critical hits" may or may not do any extra damage. Hmm...

@ImportantNobody

I imagine that a groin shot to anything with male testicals should at least slow down near anything. But it worth keeping in mind that endurance training for Spetnaz special forces, sometimes include one guy punching another in the chest and stomach. So its not far fetched someone powering through a punch to the chest. Humans can endure far worse with proper training.

But really it all depends. I just know a punch to the nipples is painful, but hardly fight ending.

@GreivousKhan

Slow down as in "crumpling to the ground in agony" would be a common untrained person's reaction in a non-combat scenario. Even from a softball. Trust me. Of course if it was a war then adrenaline would be flowing and you could better ignore such things, but I still see the pain highly distracting for a couple seconds afterwards, which I guess could be said for breasts. I don't imagine any of my characters having trained getting hit in the groin repeatedly.
