Does anyone else think that Melee combat relying on agility is pushing a bit far? I can understand most blades such as knives, swords, katanas, and other quick action/fencing style fighting. But for hammers, axes, and other polearms, wouldn't you think you'd rely on some strength?
Putting in perspective: speedy gonzalez vs Hammerhead Speedy: Agillity 8...............Hammerhead: A- 2 reaction: 6......................... R-4 Str 2.................................. S-8 Body 4 ............................. B-6 you give them both a big combat axe! (obviously a 2 handed weapon) how is it that Speedy would be able to get 8 plus skill bonuses on attack rolls, when he most likely can barely lift the thing.(granted he'd do almost no damage) Meanwhile, Hammerhead, who could use his little pinky to swing this thing, only gets 2 +skill bonus for the opposed test- (granted that he would seriously hurt anyone in his way) |
