Hefting both weapons above your head, you begin swinging them in circles and
bellow out incomprehensibly.
Focusing on his head, you strike at Shishi with Orlachmar's Wrath. You pulp him
in his head, leaving an ugly bruise.
A black shadow materialises in the air before you and then quickly strikes
Shishi.
Focusing on his head, you strike at Shishi with Urlach's Fury. You pulp Shishi's
skull and crack it open, splattering his brains in a bloody spray of gore. There
is no surviving such a blow.
The blow continues into Shishi's body, causing a sickening cracking and mashing
sound. A terrible rictus of pain twists his features for a moment, vanishing
suddenly as he falls, lifeless, to the ground.
You have slain Shishi.
Defeated, Shishi is cast out of the Arena.



Now, I'm just finally learning how to fight, learning about the wound stages and everything, I even had to have Diamante teach me which things counted as jabs and which as swings. So, after all of that, I don't understand why a pulp did a bashbrains.

Bashbrain
Bodypart: Head
Minimum Wound State: Critical
Maneuver: Swing, one-handed bludgeon weapon class
If you manage to get your opponent's head in critical condition, you have a
chance of splattering his or her brains from here to kingdom come. The result is
an instant death.

Syntax: PULP
Power: 8 (Any)
You will cause more deep wounds and increase your chance of specialty results
with this targetted attack aimed to turn your opponent into pulp. This counts as
a jab.

Help!

Typo, Pulp has always been 2 swings.

See, if people want me to learn this stuff, it can't be confusing or wrong.

Aren't those jab messages..?

They are, making pulp show off as a jab but actualy be mechanicly marked as a swing. Blah

I wonder which it is actually meant to be then?

Probably a swing, since it parallels a haymayer, which is a swing as well.

well i know from what i have been doing it is a damn jab. Because i have had people at critical and pulp them and not get a brainbash and have to smite them....

Well I just did it.

damn it now i have to find some idiot to test it on.

ok so it is a swing yay

I always thought it being a swing was a bug. It was a swing back when bonecrushers were broken and no jab attacks ever worked.
