Shattered Kingdoms

I agree that the success rate could stand to be reduced, but I'm also of the mind that it would help if we could pick up our weapons when they're disarmed.

Why not allow for a chance to pick up one item at a time, with a "lag" time to pick up items that would last as long as a bash? This lag wouldn't affect combat actions, and wouldn't prevent you from wielding the weapon or anything. It would just stop you from being able to pick up anything else for a while, much like the down time between voodoos and such. Maybe, during this downtime, you might be a little more prone to a trip or bash..? But at least you have your weapon.

I fully agree with the o.p. disarm's success rate is far too high for such a powerful and crippling ability. Combined with the chaos code it's become way too powerful in combat not only in PVP but PVE as well.

I get disarmed by NPCs pretty often. I have dex, con, and str mastered, and two trains of move as well. I also have a pretty high disarm rate myself but even though I'll agree, I will say that I feel like swashes will suck just a little bit harder with this change being made, even if it's necessary.

I wouldn't mind if finesse was boosted to compensate for such a change.

I sixteenth the motion!

I will reduce the base chance of disarm for tonight's reboot.

This should happen with bash, too.

Once again, when OA, Ardith, and I agree on something, either the world is going to end or it is the right thing to do.

Please lower success of bash.

That's where I stop agreeing with you two.

I agree w Ardith. It's already too hard to land a kill on people to reduce the effectiveness of bash.
