Thread: Pikeman Specific Abilities
Please post your ideas on abilities that should be pikeman specific.
Sunder-Gives the pikeman the ability to essentially break an opponents weapon, making it unusable. Having the weapon break permanently would obviously cause some outcrys from other classes, so instead of reducing the weapon to 0/1000 it should take 50-100 status points from the weapon and make it unusable for a certain amount of time, longer than warcry. Perhaps a 'fix' option should appear on the weapon in the inventory and give a countdown till you can use it again after hitting that option.
Disarm--This would basically be like the younger brother to sunder, allowing the pikeman to disarm the opponent for a set amount of time, though shorter than sunder.
We would of course run into problems when people just unequip their weapon and equip another, maybe another ability above sunder would make it impossible for them to equip another item for a certain amount of time.
Personally I want our "breaking" moves that we do with our specials to actually break the targets arms or legs, making them unable to attack with them, kinda like how blind makes them unable to see, a medic would be able to repair the limb like they do other status attacks like bleed.
I just felt the need to post something constructive after being a bit disheartened about our beloved class earlier.

The second paragraph of the intro post says: "Please don't include anything currently in our profession. (IE, HAM, toughness, Accuracy, etc)"

I didn't mean any offense or anything, just pointing out that you could add your ideas to the 5 page post with other such ideas.

Oh well, I wasn't as observant as some. Guess that means my ideas should be ignored because I put it in the wrong place. : ) Lets not fight amongst our own ranks.
Anyone ever see two pikeman fight each other in anything but a duel? I don't think i've ever fought another pikeman in a faction battle. Npcs dont' count.

Yep that sounds about right.
