Muggers

It's okay. Thanks for baking me up. And sorry for wording my response to let you think I was bitching at you. I wasn't. That was my grammatical faux pas. Next time don't be a total dick. That was mean and I cried for like half an hour. I'm a really big man in real life so don't mess. I'm out of tissues now so with that, I'll check out the boards later with hopefully some sweet carebear responses out of you jkarr.

I'm going to erace my post with that detailed information, You should erace your quote. By the way.

People oughta take a good mugging in stride...If you get caught slippin, get up and walk that shit off.

OKAY, did some experimenting... ai strength on human and bashing heads in with a hammer will work until you come across anyone with any training ever. Which is good to know...

Therefore ranger thief, while a nice rinthi option, is not a good mugger option. The only trick would be figuring out how to branch parry from the rinth.

Assassin thug would make the best kind of mugger in every category I mentioned in my guide. The stealth, plus sap, plus throw, easy to skill up. Trouble is getting lucky with the stats. That's why it would NOT be worth it having a extended sub guild unless you went dwarf. Even then without sap from the start you have to go through the bitch process of skilling up backstab.


The biggest drawback is lack of guard skill. I'm not convinced guard stops speed walkers consistently unless mastered.

Guard literally always stops people who are merely walking, even if you don't have the skill. There's only a chance to get past guard if you sneak or run. Most people won't really think to type 'run' before trying to move past until you've already had time to attack. You'll also never get the guard skill trained up going solo in the 'rinth, for obvious reasons, and a low guard skill is useless at stopping anything.

What will happen to a mugger is this: the first time you attack someone who's a decent fighter, and you don't manage to knock him out right away, you die. Also you'll probably have a hard time finding a place where anyone goes but doesn't have soldiers stationed or patrolling past. Allanak pretty much has a soldier every two or three rooms and/or patrolling ones coming through regularly.

Openly attacking people in city streets is almost unheard-of because it's nearly impossible to get away with, especially if it's your first time trying to play a charactger of that nature. You'd probably have an easier time raiding grebbers outside the city. Attacking people in lawful areas is just about the most attention-gathering thing you can do in Armageddon and you will have the whole city on your ass after the first time.

It's the kind of thing staff will interfere with, too. Expect to have soldiers and templars animated. I think this is somewhat justified, too, because if muggings in lawful areas were to start being a regular occurrence, it's a huge deterrent to being out in public and moving around the city. This would be pretty horrible for the game. People don't really want everyone to start hiding in their apartments and clanhalls, and rightly so.

Since always. I don't know about enter/leave, but you cannot walk past a guarded exit except perhaps if you're invisible or flying. It literally says 'you must be running or sneaking to pass.' And if the person hasn't got the guard skill, you'll easily pass by running, but you do have to take the time to type it. Usually, the brief confusion and inattention that comes from being stopped by a hidden guard is enough to get attacked.

I actually posted that, then couldn't remember if that was Arm or SoI so I edited it out
