BigRob Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Heehehe, sometimes, being ignorant is really useful. You'd think it'd be common sense that going for the throat would be sort of fatal, but since when did the law operate on common sense? Link to comment
Mahault Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Palm-stirke to the nose is also potentially fatal. But maybe that's only something they teach us girls? I don't know about anyone else but if I have to fight all my strength will be behind it. Link to comment
Stone Wolf Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 It can be, but it's hard to land properly to make it fatal. The head moves to easily, and you have to get the right angle. The throat is a little easier to hit. Link to comment
Fallen_Demon Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 true. chop btw the ribs is good too, not 100% fatal, but the fights over. Link to comment
Opalescence Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I just wanted to ask the females on this board, out of curiosity, for the Low Blow, does it hurt that much when girls are hit, errr, down there? I mean, I've heard that it seriously hurts for girls when they're hit on the breats, but I've never heard of a girl taken out of commission from a low blow that would send me singing soprono, if ya know what I mean . Anyhow, I was just curious. In addition, doing a split before hitting someone in the groin seems like a move some sexy female kung-fu fighter would do (and not too sporting a kung-fu fighter either), but I couldn't ever pull that off, especially when a kneecap to the groin works just as well . Besides, splits are infinately better suited to the female anatomy, it must be admitted. You might want to add in some defensive measures as well: "Iron Shirt stance" Focuses the ki to give a temporary burst of protection at the cost of ability to move. Reduce all damage by 5, -3 AC, and cannot move for 3 rounds "Driver Punch" A powerful, full-body punch that unfortunately lowers defense. Only one attack this round, it does 5 extra damage, -2 AC this round. Iron shirt might be a good way to go if you're surrounded by (relatively) weaker opponents, as the -5 all damage could buy you time. I don't think Driver Punch is all that imaginative but we MUST have some low-level abilities. Link to comment
BigRob Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Besides, splits are infinately better suited to the female anatomy, it must be admitted. You just have to be able to prevent yourself from hitting the ground too hard. But yes, a few defensive moves among all the low blows and head kicks would round things out nicely. I think also that I'll make any of these additional moves available to all monks and I'll very much try to keep them as interesting/utility moves rather than high level powers. Link to comment
elfheart Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I just wanted to ask the females on this board, out of curiosity, for the Low Blow, does it hurt that much when girls are hit, errr, down there? From what I gather, definately not. It can be quite painfull though, since the pubic bone doesn't have much padding over it, and the area is sensitive. I haven't taken too many blows to the chest, but I recall it hurts a lot. In the fencing sport, females wear a protective cup on each breast, much like the protective sportswear for men. I'm not sure which part of the female body is the most painful to be struck. Not about to experiment, either But I think it's safe to say males can be delt the most pain in a single blow.

KIrving Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I just wanted to ask the females on this board, out of curiosity, for the Low Blow, does it hurt that much when girls are hit, errr, down there? Yes!! As a frequent horse rider in the past, I can attest to the painful (and stunning) effects of the saddle pommel combined with gravity. Link to comment

Besides, splits are infinately better suited to the female anatomy, it must be admitted. I don't think doing the splits would be a good move for anyone, regardless of gender. First, you're making your legs useless, so you can only attack with your arms. You're also greatly limiting your mobility--down to almost zero. That means that your opponent only has to worry about a few types of attacks. A blow to the groin would be the most obvious. Second, without your legs you won't have much power in the attack. That makes it easier to parry, and less effective if it does hit. Granted, you don't need much power to do a groin strike, but it won't be as effective as a normal blow. That brings me to point 3: What happens after the attack? Say the blow lands. You've hit your opponent, but probably not hard enough to incapacitate. If your opponent blocks the attack, you've gained nothing and placed yourself in a poor position. You can't move much until you get your legs back into play, which gives your opponent time to launch all kinds of attacks at you. I'd rather be flat on the ground than doing the splits.
