Guess what section I'm in now?
So being the newbie I am to this material I have a question... I love the combo system, very cool allows for flexibility in combat and can allow for special moves that most RPGs don't accurately portray...
So, forgive me if this is a silly question but I have to ask...
Blocking combatants...are immune to getting hurt?
What if your combo is BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK?
In the real world, you cannot block everything. If the faster combatant sees the slower combatant blocking his head, he will go for the legs or torso.
Blocking should only work if your character wins initiative...then he would know what to block, otherwise its ineffective...
I guess blocking body parts would slow down the system too much, if you have to define WHAT your blocking BLOCK[Head], Block[Leg]. But a block should have all the flexibility of an attack in choice of targets.
OR if thats not desireable...
Could an attack break a block? This would occur if the faster combatant is so overpowering that the defender (slower combatant) cannot sufficiently block the attack.
