Concerning Maneuvers, I realised that it is available to every specialization but I don't know exacly how it works. So, details about it are welcome.
Here's the AB file.
CODE
Syntax: MANEUVER CREATE
        MANEUVER LIST
        MANEUVER DROP
        MANEUVER DEVELOP ACTION
        MANEUVER DEVELOP WOUNDS
        MANEUVER SHOW
        MANEUVER PERFORM
You are now able to develop your own fighting maneuvers. You start with being
able to develop a limited amount of maneuvers and gradually increase the number
of maneuvers as your training increases. Each maneuver consists of two
variables: the action and the wounds. The action is the attack verb (slash,
smash, strike, etc.) that will be executed during the maneuver. The wounds are
a list of the specific wounds you are attempting to inflict. (Please note that
it does not determine if you are able to execute the action or inflict the
wound until you perform the maneuver.)
When you perform a maneuver, you will focus all your mental attention on the
wounds specified in the maneuver. This has two benefits. First, you will only
inflict wounds from that list. So if you want to always inflict a lower level
wound even if the target body part is in critical condition then a maneuver
consisting only of that lower level wound will do just that. Secondly, provided
your wound list is small, you will be able to concentrate more than normal on
perfectly executing the attack. This increases your chance of exeuting that
wound. Thus if you use a maneuver that consists only of a critical level wound,
you lose the ability to do the lower level wounds, but in exchange you increase
the likelihood of successfully making that critical wound happen.
I would help more with wound abilities but I'm not that knowledgable on Warrior combat since I find it boring and it seems really hard to balance.

Man, you impaled the guy. Why shouldn't you disembowel when you can?
QUOTE(Sarvasti @ Sep 11 2006, 12:09 AM) 329882
If you've got him impaled why not do a coup de grâce? Makes sense to me. (Agreeing with Vladkir)
...So do disembowel while he's impaled, but don't make it part of the skill, because all that skill deals with is letting them schtick themselves on the polearm, doing high wounding and massive bleeding. Anything else would make it OP.
I didn't say you wouldn't be able to disembowel at all, I just meant you shouldn't do it in the same move. You could do the disembowel command when you regain balance from him slamming into the thing, but it shouldn't be the same move. Unless a fighter had appalingly good reflexes, strong arms, and and excellent sense of balance, he wouldn't be able to twist and wrench the thing immediately after/while the guy was running into it.

Ytraelux, I got you point. This trespassing doesn't need to be an impale. Okay then, so it shouldn't target the gut because that would make things confusing. So, chest? Oh right, if your chest is trespassed (I'm not even saying impaled) you'll die. I want to make this realistic.
For a trespassing ability of this nature, I thought about this one:
- RushImpale
Impale from adjacent rooms: target in room X adjacent to room Y where you are. You start setting up the ability and after it's done (I don't know, 6 secs), you tun into room X and impale the target. If the target leaves the room you'll rush into room X and stab the air. Doing anything while the ability is setting up will stop it.
And yes, it's an impale. I don't know if I'm going to put this abilitity, it is good for 1-on-1 ambushes and EXTREMELY
Browser problems, join the two posts
...EXTREMELY good for group combat.
I hope you saw my point now.
Anyway, if you have any ideas for abilities for the specialization or comments to make, post. You cooperation is needed!

Changing subject...
Since spears are going to be 2h weapons with 1h stats due to the double attack, the trans skill has to be changed.
- Double strike
Swing the weapon twice at the target, random bodyparts, increased damage and wounding but extremely slow. Perfect finishing move.
We could change it, or add more strikes. Don't look to the increased damage and wounding, we have this for that:
- Pierce
Extra damage, bypasses defenses. Counts as a jab.
Still, I don't know, what do you think?
AND I haven't really decided about the instakill. I have these two:
- Brain Pierce
Bodypart: Head
Maneuver: Jab
Wound state: critical
Pierces target's skull, causing in instant death.
- Chest Trespass
Bodypart: Chest
Maneuver: Jab
Wound state: critical
Coompletly trespasses target's chest, causing in instant death.
I don't know, a chest instakill? Still, if you prefer the second one I have this for critical damage for the head:
- Brain Pierce
Bodypart: Head
Maneuver: Jab
Wound state: critical
Slightly pierces target's skull and therefore the brain, causing blackout and moderate bleeding.
Blackout...
Maybe it's overpowered, what do you think?

So, I have:

5 - No critical abilities for any bodypart;
6 - No heavy leg abilities;
7 - 7 no-damage abilities. Too many in my oppinion.
... which means there's a lot of work to do. I need you thoughts about abilities, comments on these and everything you think the specialization should or shouldn't have. I need your help.
BTW, could someone tell me about poison hits? I've hear that they don't always poison the target. If they don't, what happens to it? Is it wiped from the weapon? I need to know this to check if this abilities are overpowered.
