Kaervas begins to chant in a deep and baleful voice, and an iron cross rises up
from the ground before you. Vicious spikes slam into your flesh and nail you to
the cross. You scream in pain and agony as blood is splattered in all
directions.
1667h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p exkdbp-
You are too stunned to be able to do anything.

You are too stunned to be able to do anything.
1667h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p exkdbp-writhe

You are no longer stunned.

1667h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p exkdbp-
You begin to writhe furiously to escape from the iron cross.
1667h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p ekdbp-
You are impaled, which makes movement impossible.
1667h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p ekdbp-
You must regain balance first.
1667h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p ekdbp-
You crucified state makes that impossible.
1667h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p ekdbp-sip health

Murphy falters and stumbles as colour drains from his skin.
1667h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p ekdbp-
You crucified state makes that impossible.
1667h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p ekdbp-sip health

You bleed like a stuck pig upon the iron cross.
1098h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p ekdbp-
Tiny tremours spread through your body as the world seems to slow down.
1098h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p ekdbp-
Swinging a tormented spectre flail in an underhand arc, Murphy strikes at you.
You double over and can barely breathe from the force of your belly being
smashed.

Marcalo swings a exquisitely crafted draconic broadsword at a celestial
archangel. Marcalo cuts her with a light wound.

Swinging a tormented spectre flail in an underhand arc, Murphy strikes at you,
and you smoothly step away from the blow. His flail smashes through the air,
missing you completely.

Passive mode.

You feel an aura of rebounding surround you.
375h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p ekdbp-
You have recovered balance on all limbs.
375h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p exkdbp-
You must first raise yourself from the floor and stand up.
375h, 2646m, 3267e, 10p exkdbp-
With an heroic effort you manage to writhe yourself free from that which
impaled you.

You can't even sip while crucified. That's worth 5 power. Not 8, but 5. It isn't a REALLY weak skill, like ancestral/darkmoon.

I LOVE how you smoothly stepped away from Murphy's blow.

Whilst impaled on a cross.

Damage of crucify depends on your max health, writhing out of it lasts two seconds, the equilibrium time for crucifying is 7 seconds, and the power cost is 8. The followup is sacrifice, which is physically impossible to pull off even in teams against anyone with basic triggers.

Now compare that to heretic, infidel and inquisition. Of course darkmoon and ancestralcurse is even more useless.
Amaru2005-03-12 16:38:06
It takes longer than 2 seconds. Closer to 6 for me at 10 size. And remember infidel/heretic can be cured by focus spirit.
Thorgal2005-03-12 16:39:47
It'll never, ever, take 6 seconds to writhe from impale or crucifixion, at whatever size. You should time and test before using numbers.
Silvanus2005-03-12 17:28:12
Thats assuming you have balance/eq when they crucify.
Ceres2005-03-12 17:34:53
You can writhe off balance.

Actually Thorgal - sacrifice is possible to pull off in a fight, Alger managed to sacrifice me in the arena once.

You can't writhe off-balance if you are impaled, pinlegged, or crucified.
Ceres2005-03-12 19:23:58
That backfired a bit blush.gif
Soll2005-03-12 19:26:13
Just a bit. Heh
Ceres2005-03-12 19:30:47
Then again, I fixed my writhing. Been having to writhe off the cross manually for ages, and I only just now found out why.
Shiri2005-03-12 19:36:32
:/ Then Elryn was either dang lucky or faeling writhing is just ungodly. He was off Kaervas' crux in about 0.5 seconds. >_<'
Summer2005-03-12 19:51:25
Faeling writhing is godly tongue.gif
Ceres2005-03-12 20:50:55
Why does this topic keep resetting to unread?

I keep coming back expecting a post and finding just Summer's about godly faelings.
Shiri2005-03-12 20:54:24
Boards do weird things like that sometimes. Usually the other way around for me, though.
Unknown2005-03-13 00:02:24
Crucify is a great skill. Permanent Anorexia and Slickness untill you writhe off, and you need to have balance in order to start writhing. Not bad at all. It is the most used team combat skill around, and it does a decent amount of damage, and it almost always breaks at least one limb before you writhe off.

See.. now for a bad skill, there is Dark Moon. Dark Moon is worse then Ancestralcurse, because at least Ancestralcurse gives interesting afflictions.

Yeah, and when Narsrim tested, Dark moon gave 2 whole afflictions during its most powerful phase, New Moon. What a screwed up skill. laugh.gif

Let me guess, paranoia and dementia? Or maybe paranoia and amnesia.

And did anyone else notice Amaru spelt "Crucify" wrong in the post topic?
