Feinting Ranged or Melee

Post by Navi »

Currently, if you feint with a weapon that is both able to be hurled and able to deliver a melee blow, it will default to a ranged feinting attack. For clarity, these weapons include hatchets, dagger, spears, javelins, all throwing weapons, and gaffs. There are likely others I'm not listing. My solution for this is to have the position you set your character to determine the type of feint with these weapons. If I am set to position avoid, my feint would be a ranged feint, and if position engage then a melee feint is used. There are a couple of mechanical distinctions when using feint range vs feint melee. One can't be fended off, and one does not cause surprise when ambushing.
wander without wanting, thrust into lands unknown. the shadows shift and change, and the worlds with them.
