Jumping does no damage?

Post by klippy »

Not sure how the skill is meant to work but I had it on a Lizardman ninja with karate or a spear as an attacking weapon. Jumping seems to do no damage at all. You see a display of "<char> kicks <monster> in the head" but it never seems to do any damage.

The skill seems to be largely useless anyway, but it'd be nice if it at least did damage.

Not only that, but if any sort of tile that blocks you gets in the way, you can't jump over it.

In some cases, this makes sense. For example, players probably shouldn't be able to jump over walls. But if you're on the coast and want to jump to an island that has one space of water between you and it, shouldn't you be able to make that gap? Or maybe if you could get to a high enough level, you could jump it and/or larger gaps?

You already can jump over some water tiles - some you can not.

Generally, the more "shallow" the water is, the more likely one can use jumping or dimension door spell to travel over it.

Ah, so there has been some work on that.

I guess that's what I get for speaking out of prior experience, rather than trying it on the newest version.
That SilverNexus guy? You needn't worry about him.
