Yeah shifting grip requires and action as far as I am aware. Reassuring to see someone else make the same misread I did. Nope: The OP is talking about shifting his GRIP to two-handed, not shifting the weapon into a two-handed sword. Then the question for the corollary, of can a longsword or bastard sword shift into a lance during a charge? Or does the rune only operate based on the base nature of the weapon, not specific edge conditions? The weapon restrictions for characters are as follows: Olivia, Karin and Marina are incapable of wielding two-handed weapons (guns are an exception to this). But it is certainly arguable then that it no longer requires 2 hands so during a charge, might be able to shift into a 1 handed weapon. However, the lance when charging, mounted with a harness and moving at least 10' it can be wielded with 1 hand, reducing the damage die to d6. What might be a stranger edge case would be the Lance, which requires two hands to wield, so could shift into a two-handed sword. Due to their great mass, all of these weapons tend to open metal and. If your the GM and want to stick with more raw, I don't think it specifically is allowed, currently as written. Since Link requires both hands to hold the weapon, he cannot use a Shield at the same time. I don't know that it is horribly broke to allow it to do as you said however, if your GM allows it, great. And have the weapon be able to shift to any melee weapon that can be wielded with the same number of hands you are currently wielding it in. Simplest solution would creating a Greater Rune of Shifting, which has a prerequisite of being placed on a 1-h weapons that has a Two-handed property. The bastard sword requires 1 hand, even when you are wielding it with 2 hands and getting a benefit from that choice. So technically the dagger requires one hand, the bastard sword requires 1 hand, and the two handed sword requires one hand. It doesn't actually say it can shift into a different weapon using the same number of hand as you currently are wielding it in. Technically, the rune says it can shift into a melee weapon that requires the same number of hands to wield. And with both quickens, the RG happen to be faster.While I am all for weapon staffs being able to shift into another 2-handed weapon. While RKs have -15 on their theme weapon, RGs have -10 on their theme weapons. The curious thing I see on these tables is. They can either Frenzy or use Adrenaline Rush for the fastest, but few skills really benefit from the aspd. Who cares if RG is faster with 2h swords? They don't have ANY skill which benefits of it. Yes, some things they fix with gear, but other should be fixed with system thingsīut really, one of the observations above really shows the truth. And there is Violet Fear for more DPS by spamming magic. The frenzy usually gives 15 aspd with any weapon, but you turn to be an useless ctrl+clicker.Īnd then, there is the gear-fix again. The two-hand quicken usually gives 10 aspd with the sword, but you can spam other skills. Well, on pre-renewal they could.īut the fact is. Twohand Quicken should be brought on par with Spear quicken or at least un-nerfed. RG's should not be more proficient with 2handed swords than RK's Where two hand quicken just got the non stackable adjustment. However, now spear quicken not only gives apsd, but at lvl 10 it gives 30 crit and 20 flee. I understood the nerf, because 1 agi and max aspd seemed a bit op. Difference was that 2hand quicken was stackable with frenzy. Spear quicken pre-renewal was basically identical to twohand quicken pre-renewal. Which brings up another irritation, why is it that spear quicken gained a huge buff with renewal and two hand quicken got nothing/nerfed? If that were they basis, then why would Royal Guards also be more proficient with 2-handed spears, I mean come on, they have spear quicken <.< you cannot say 'well that is why they have two hand quicken' it is an invalid argument. I too do not understand the reasoning for this base aspd.
