So I haven’t played this game since January 2nd which is automatically gonna put people off but I occasionally stop by here to see the state of this game. I saw that the Power Sword got nerfs again which to be honest, makes me laugh at everyone who needed this crutch. On the other hand, I can rela…

I love this idea! It would be much closer to Lore Power Sword, and that would be acceptable. Unfortunately i think It would require completely new mechanic… unless Peril or Heat mechanic can be tinkered with to match desired outcome! Other approach would be, to make power sword constantly on when u…

I’m still in favor of giving it a 100% flat damage profile against all targets and letting it be on all the time. The weapon special can be something else, maybe even just a thrust for higher damage against single target. Then you can just tweak the cleave values until its not god tier in all ways a…

Desiu: I’m still in favor of giving it a 100% flat damage profile against all targets and letting it be on all the time. 100% flat damage? Yes, sounds fun. No on-off switch? No! Imagine if you will, you’re the last person standing on the point of no return, while your team is below and alre…

I like OP’s suggestion better honestly. Sure a flat damage profile with adjusted cleave can work, but is also really boring.

Lemme guess you also call every Psyker you meet in game Sibling…

Two questions: What’s the point of having to manually toggle it on? What advantage, gameplay wise, would it have for being turned off? I’m open to cool ideas. [image] Sarumane: I like OP’s suggestion better honestly. Sure a flat damage profile with adjusted cleave can work, but is also reall…

No… I call them witches, wyrds and in one case “overglorified daemon summoning donkeyhat”. Why?

[image] Reginald: I do see how it can be boring but it also suites the lore and crunch well for a 40k powersword and would be dead simple to implement. Personally i think it would be fun to have a magic sword that doesn’t care what type of enemy youre fighting. It also gives space for identity t…

maybe have it actif at all time with the 100% flat and good cleave but low damage and a special to overcharge for one vertical attack? having a good feeling powersword that isn’t inherently stronger than other weapon is kind of a trick, I guess it would deal less base damage than the bigger weapons…

[image] gab.rognon: 100% flat and good cleave but low damage and a special to overcharge for one vertical attack? That’s basically my proposal. But i think a thrust would be cooler than an overhead. Thrusts aren’t used enough and power swords are more finess weapons. [image] gab.rognon: h…
