I started without a single scratch on me.

Your black cage writhes.

Last Combat Maneuver: Dodge




A sand sprite spins about in a mad dance, her fine golden hair flying out in all directions as she twirls deftly about in the sand.

Your black cage writhes.
* With strength, a sand sprite lunges a coral knife at you. You attempt to evade, mis-stepping and blundering into the blow. The knife lands a light hit to your left leg.
[You're bruised, solidly balanced with opponent dominating.]

* A sand sprite feints to the side at you. You attempt to dodge, taking the full blow. The knife lands a brushing strike to your right leg.
[You're bruised, solidly balanced with opponent in superior position.]

Your body feels slightly battered.
Your spirit feels full of life.

You have no significant injuries.

then I decide to put on my armor and they cant hit me. I even fell over, used bash and stopped with terrible balance.

I went from 0 hinder with less than 70 stones on me with a capped ease burden to wearing a light chain hauberk a full heavy chain helm and heavy mail gloves and lost my sphere of protection and ease burden as well.

You are very badly balanced.

The sprites were made they were at the back of the line.

"Armor absorption isn't messaged."

Every hit that lands is displayed. If armor helps it just reduces the hit to harmless or glancing at best, and my cage of light displays messages for hits as well since they are using daggers.

And during combat some spells to message armor absorption.

"I'll take a queue from your other post and stop wasting my time trying to explain something to someone who knows nothing about the systems he's using and refuses to listen to someone who is telling them what's what."



I must have missed the part where you said something besides armor absorbency was showing up as dodges.

I'm surprised you got hit at all with those defenses, something does seem odd with that.

In regards to the "false information posters" tangent, what you propose is pretty much impossible to do. The truth about how systems work often emerges with a collaboration here on the boards. I don't think there's anyone that is right 100% of the time or knows when someone else is wrong 100% of the time. Banning people for trying to contribute would be counterproductive. There's a world of difference between the occasional mistake and J'los.

Additionally, making a big conflict out of disagreements on the boards is also counterproductive.

I'm certain it's the throwing that caused it after some testing. Thanks for the information all who posted to do more than mock me.
