This may have already been said but Im not reading through five pages but I am a huge fan of most of prone, but not all of it. I dont like how barbarians can now berserk when bashed. I dont like how NPCs with tails and NPCs that have scripts can still use them when bashed either. There are a few more but you get the idea. I dont think it's right. Is this going to be permanent? And by permanent I dont mean prone itself, just these little quirks that make things harder on me.

No.. I don't believe it was mentioned...

It does stand to reason there should be a code review for when a script calls for a spell and the NPC is prone, then it can't be cast. And if mid-cast, it won't fire until after the NPC regain's its footing.

If anything, being knocked down makes me punch faster, harder, longer...deeper?

Of you can berserk while prone, why cant you rallying cry? I would think it would be a good time to pull something out like the Rebel yell and hopefully get your enemy off guard.

Why not? That makes me sad :cry:

Fist skills are so powerful, that if that if you could pull a Har har or a Tamagotchi while bashed, they'd be completely imbalanced. (They're already powerful and arguable imbalanced. People would just all roll Fists if their active skills were usable while bashed.)

EDIT: Rallying cry IMO would be a -decent- idea, but I can see the balance reasons not to do it. Mercs already beat barbs out in a lot of ways, and being able to rallying cry now when before prone effects they could do nothing while bashed doesn't seem like it would help things.

It was changed for berserk. So there is a precedent. I think it would give the skill a little more use too.

Yeah, all fist skills should be made useable while bashed.

Seriously!

Edit: Also if they're dead. You can't keep a good monk down!
