That's what maces, hammers, halberds, and morning stars were made for.

Hard armor basically works by resisting the force of the bullet or shrapnel with the same degree of force.

The armor isn't that strong. It spreads the kinetic force out. But it does not stop a concentrated attack. Since he likens it to kevlar a directed, focused attack will pretty much negate the armor.

Also it worth noting that there is a limit to what it can reduce trauma wise across a wide surface. Your basic war hammer would ignore any protection the great clock gives.

That is how Melon made it through the entire second tournament.

But mommmmmm

@Rilla

Hmm, fine. It's actually 10x. At least you have better whining.

I look at Khan's characters all the same, level bosses. Lots of abilities, resistances/immunities/guarded againsts.

I can check it out though, but he has to really define what the stuff is made out of and how strong it actually is... at base.Spider silk, by weight, is really strong - so his armor could be weak as two fucks, but written to sound really ... really strong.

@Rilla

Get to work you.

Well do you have any remarks on the super armour? I can deal with the huge abundance of other abilities, but armour that's effectively resistant to every sort of stabbing or cutting attack I can launch is going to be irritating.

@MelonHead

Oh no, you shall be forced to think outside the box...or hit where the armor is not... That is terrible. Also prepped attacks usually just go right through none-prepped armor.

Honestly, I'm not sure why Holy Magic specifically is so under-used in Arena, I seem to be one of the only people who has recognised half the people you fight are evil spirits or undead or demon-vampire-werepoofs. Judgement and my Priest character and even Isaac the freaking Ghoul has anti-evil weaponry and spells.

@MelonHead

Obvious.

Just think about how many people like anti-heroes over goody-toe shoes good guys like superman. (Skalla is the only person I know with a absurdly good hero character.)

Also, humans are naturally despicable creatures and relate more with bad guys generally. (cause their cooler, like Scorpion, Wolverine, Blade, etc or batman to the misguided)

Blood bending is almost definitely against the rules, it is almost completely unavoidable, far too specific and niche a defence is required to protect yourself from it.

@MelonHead

By that I mean you managing to get a medium into your opponent and thus effecting them through that. Like contaminating their blood for example. Kind of like what Rilla mentioned. So when is this going to start @Rilla?

Divine literally means 'having the nature of a deity' that's WAYYYYYY too general to be specifically powerful against a Wraith, where-as Holy is linked to spiritualism and combating 'evil' and essentially linked to the idea of 'God' in a Christian sense, who is the historical enemy of the Undead (Vampires being the spawn of Satan) and Demons (obvious) therefore I like to make sure my opponent has abilities bestowed upon them by a god of this sort before I accept it as -extra- powerful. If your powers come from a god of light for example then by all accounts they are 'holy' and deserve the bonus, if they use 'holy water' or some such its the same concept.

@MelonHead

Sacred means revered due to sanctity, is in general the state of being holy (perceived by religious individuals as associated with divinity) or sacred (considered worthy of spiritual respect or devotion; or inspiring awe or reverence among believers).

unless you managed to put some of Anna's body(insofar as what she originally starts with, and not what she adds later) in them.

then that's their fault.

manipulate it.

@Rilla

It's also worth noting that blood bending is not necessarily against the rules. I remember the first WOT Tournament thing, I killed a vampire with the Sand Wraith that way.

I and Lyzan made a good unintended team combo.
