Post subject: | disarm targeting |
again, no idea if it's a bug but check it out. Short bake has a knife wielded but can't be disarmed. They are fighting me, they are in the front row and are fighting with another bakemono (who doesn't have a weapon wielded) who is also in the front row and who I'm focused on.

I'm not sure, but... does the old bakemono have "short" for a keyword too? That might be the problem. |

When he typed "l short" it showed him the short bakemono so "disarm short" should have targeted the same enemy. |

Disarm targets the enemy you are currently attacking. You could "kill short" and THEN disarm her, but as it were, you were trying to disarm the old one. The target you typed doesn't matter. At least, that's how it worked when I was a swashbuckler. |

What she said, you have to be in melee with the target to disarm. |

See also: weapons finesse Then it's the helpfile that just needs changing: if you can only target someone you are focused on (I was in melee with both, just focused on the old) then why is there even a second part to the command 'DISARM <VICTIM>'? |

So you can start a fight with it, hamstring style? |

Disarm doesn't check for targets. It is only possible to disarm the person in direct melee combat with your pc. On a sad note: does anybody bother to read the helpfiles these days? |

Post subject: | |
as usual ardith fails at reading... look up and read the helpfile, see the little <victim> part? |

Yeah, disarm has been like that for a while, the helpfile is misleading and should be changed. |
