Battle Tactics

[Xonumar]

Battle tactics for warriors implementation
for a sustained style skill.
Warriors could have two skills.
OPosture=Offensive Posture
Objective: Offensive skills boost
Cost: Movement Points on a per round basis
Restrictions: Cannot be in defensive
posture.

DPosture=Defensive Posture
Objective: Defensive skills boots+AC boost
Cost: Movement Points on a per round basis
Restrictions: Cannot be in offensive
posture.

Here a few reasons why:
Warriors are a class of creatures which
present elite physical tactics. I know
this has some implementation through
shieldblock skill and skill learning
rate, but it would be a nice addition
to skills
Here is a scenario. A warrior is fighting
a creature who is believed to be much
weaker, so the warrior decides to
neglect defensive skills to some degree
and focus on dispatching his foe instead
of defending from it.
Here is another scenrio. A warrior is
ambushed by ten orcs. The warrior
decides to go into a defensive posture
in order to focus on fending off the
many attacks putting offense on hold.
One more scenario. A warrior is not
tanking in combat, so the warrior
doesn't need defense right now
and decides to go offensive.

Interesting. Are you proposing that these "modes" would be toggeled, or merely areas of specialization. I am gathering that the former is the case, (e.g., tog tactics - You take a defensive posture).

On the surface this seems to make intuative sense, and would give warriors something to do besides just bashing while soloing.

Good question. It would be a combination
of the two. For example there would be
the two skills I mentioned above plus
one more command to return to the
standard posture, so there would be
a toggling affect. The OPosture and
DPosture would have skill percentage
like traditional skills as well.
