I have heard a rumor and I do not like it- i would like to give you an idea to ponder .
Instead of introducing these items ive heard of to alter accuracy(hit/miss) why dont you simply change missing to blocking. Missing would never happen in a dual that these battles represent. I propose changing the complete miss than simply annoys everyone in the KnD community and change it to a half damage block. Blocking would still hurt in real life. Should still hurt in game
This switch could make every armor design youve ever added to this game have its perks. Northerners for example having 2 swords and no shield might not block very oftern or at all, but could possibly counter attack or have an increased power attack instead. Where something like firestorm that clearly has a shield could block randomly. I will do my part and post this idea on your forum as well. Thanks for your time
