[@ShidenBlades] Replied and as you can see, I'm take a hit and give a hit type of gal. As I’m sure I got carried away, here’s the action brief to be sure you understood what I was aiming for and we're still on the same page: 1. Nicoli's close proximity swing at her left side of her head [indent]→ Counters: Her baton comes up and blocks, creating a shield with the tip touching her shoulder and forming a triangle- If you need a vid to show you, then let me know.[/indent] 2. Dagger comes out at her attack arm’s bicep [indent]→ Reaction: Activates her taser ability about half-2/3 ways through swing[/indent] [indent]→ Counter: drops to her knee while lowers her right side (adjusting for balance which since it's above normal realism, I think I have some leeway right?) when she first spots the attack. [/indent] [indent][indent]Damage: if you keep doing the punch she will take a nick in her bicep, less than half of a centimeter across the top part to draw blood and rips her jacket instead of resisting the slice since it's a stab.[/indent][/indent] [indent][indent]Additional effects: her aim is also lower and goes from thigh to around the knee side instead, without damping her strength too much behind the hit and balance alters as well since there’s three points hitting the log rather than two.[/indent] [/indent] If you have any issues, let me know and please explain them with proof to back it up so I can try to see it from your point of view. Now… we have a dilemma. Mainly connected with Trixi’s taser ability and her batons vs Nicoli’s leather armor should the attack connect. I’m assuming he’s covering his knees since you don't exactly describe how your armor is placed or designed. From the research I have collected, not much I’m afraid, the effect of her taser is lessen by some notable degree but they aren't negated since leather is not like rubber. However, I can’t determine the degree that would be fair. My suggestion, since we’re both competitors, is let [@Drifting Pollen] determine how much resistance Nicoli has and how effective Trixi’s attack is. I think we could work it out where we're both happy, but I also don't want to risk a heated argument.
