Tiny question on Trampling

[Teleolurian]

Sorry... of course I knew that, since I rejoice at seeing the little elephant on the screen. Anyways, what you said.

Anyways, about size differential being a factor of trampling, remember that the bigger the diff, the more damage is dealt.

Hoburg Halflings faint at the rumor that the earth mother is attacking.

Thanks, all great info.
Can I set it so that she wont try to trample some of the larger folk, for example? I mean I know she *can* trample up to size 5, but I prefer she only do it to size 3 or 4, then use weapon. Is that possible?

[Teleolurian]

Not sure, but I think trample is part of the whole attack phase - it won't even come into play if it's not possible. It's just a way to do extra damage when it is possible.

According to the devs:

Trample damage is (2*size), armor piercing. Size difference is not relevant.

As for how trample works: Tramplers trample until they run out of action points, then attack with a weapon. So you always do both.

Doesnt two shields (i.e. no attacks) cause you to have a "feeble kick" attack that gives a negative defense modifier? Using Main Gauche of Parrying will give your Earth Mother a good boost in defense IIRC.

Really! I was unaware that they got in a weapon strike as well. That's interesting.
