vorpal damage, knockout and tiny weapons

Post by notsabbat »

so...after a conversation with my roommate last night I have some questions.
Can knockout be dilivered with vorpal damage? If yes, then since vorpal bypasses armor does it need to be any more than 1 vorpal knockout? it says knockout needs to be delivered by a tiny weapon. does a throwing dagger count?

What kind of vorpal damage? the assassin? Yes. because it says it can be added but most times you can't/(like breaking a weapon) becausr you can't stack them.

does it have to be one? here's kicker, it could be be ZERO and it would still work.

Can you deliver it via throwing knife? IF and only if it's TAGGED knife. (you can;t throw it, no.)

you may ask "can you do a 0 knockout?"

answer is no its not a skill, its a clever workaround so that if a warrior parry/avoud blow to drop the damage of a "3 vorpal knockout" they are still sleeping on the ground.

by the way i beilve assassin and valkyn'vi are the only ones capable of a vorpal knockout? correct me if im wrong.

Assassin and Valkyn'vi are the only ones I know of that can add vorpal to a Knockout call, yes.

As for how much it is, it could be as little as 1 Vorpal knockout (the smallest call in the game) - but even if that is reduced to a 0 (zero) Vorpal Knockout it would still affect the target.

As for what it can be delivered with, the skills you are using should let you know how big a weapon you can use. The weapon being used does need to be a tagged weapon as well.

I havent checked all of the abilities, but all the rogue knockouts and sage say tiny sized weapons.


ok, so you can basically just call vorpal knockout to blow through armor and knock people out; however you can only do that with an ability that amends an attack with vorpal. So...unless they say they combine they dont. The guthrie thrown weapon ability to do 1 vorpal will not stack with knockout then right?
