As is always the case with symbiosis, the fungus does seem to 'benefit' its carrier by coarsening the skin and providing some protection from the elements. Iym, again: "The appearance of frosty, luminous nodules characterize this colony. The rained spores in turn colonize their new hosts, rating this disease among the most contagious." Upon certain stresses, typically under bodily harm, the gills flex and release a cloud of spores, numbering in the thousands, that shower onto adjacent parties, ostensibly protecting their host. The Consortium of Phyta, however, won't be pleased.Īs Beniyayut Iym, physician to the farmstead Kardis, reports: "In cases of fickle gill, infection culminates in the formation of fleshy, spore-bearing gills in the colonized region. Naturally, acquiring a fungal infection increases your reputation with fungi. In cases of infection, a certain species of fungus colonizes a region of the body, rendering that body part unequippable but providing some benefit. Quote Fungi enthusiasts, rejoice!

So in short, having the full shield skills and using two bucklers (of any sort) with a two-handed weapon can give you lots of semi-free attacks against helpless opponents.įor long sword users, that means that using the aggressive stance is suddenly much safer, since staggered enemies are easier to hit. Which, as said, leads to 1d2 turns of staggering. So with two very likely blocks per turn, at 32 Strength, you have an approximate 53% chance to stagger any single melee opponent (provided no other opponent uses up your blocks). It's an even split between staggering for one or two turns, so about 7% chance for either.ģ2 Strength (IIRC this is where the PV bonus for Two-Handed Metametal weapons lies): 29% to trigger per block, 27.1875% to stagger overall. With the aforementioned 93.75% chance to block (you can get more by having more arms or carrying an off-hand shield, though there's strong diminishing returns), and keeping in mind that staggering block has a (strength*2)-35% chance to trigger, stunning for 1-2 turns, that gives us.Ģ5 Strength: 15% to trigger per block, 14.0625% to stagger overall. What is nice is the chance to stagger on blocking! The AV bonus is nice but not really worth the points. That gives you a.93.75% chance to block any single attack, with up to two blocks per turn. I often have a Warden/Praetorian with full shield skills, wearing two bucklers.
