if i can attack from pole range with a greatsword, why am i charging with it when i attack?


>You close to pole weapon range on a forest geni.
>
>The forest geni begins to advance on you!
>The forest geni advances from nearby and is closing steadily.
>att
>< Driving in like an unbeatable force, you charge a greatsword at a forest geni. A forest geni fails to evade, failing miserably. The greatsword lands a heavy strike that lightly scratches the geni's right forearm.
>[You're tired, nimbly balanced and in good position.]
>[Roundtime 6 sec.]


i dont believe this has ever happened before. and if it has and i just didnt notice, why? it has pole range, i dont need to charge.

It's one of the lame parts of using pole-ranged weapons - if you're still advancing when you try to use it, you charge anyway.

>i dont believe this has ever happened before.

Always happened. Seems like it would be a simple fix.

>Furthermore, halberds and pikes are pole ranged weapons that benefit from the occasional charge.

Some of them. A khuj doesn't particularly benefit. Neither do greatswords.

I tend to notice the fatigue hit from my 100 stone greatsword pretty quick until I get stamina up there.

On the other hand, annoying charges aside, the thing did break a friend's croc skin buckler (and left arm) in a spar once, so they're not all bad.

It'd be slick if pole range weapons were chargeable from missle. That'd add some functionality heh.
