I've been following this thread for a while now, and I still don't know what war stomp does. Anyone wanna shed some light on the situation for me?

With Anger the Earth --

You assess your combat situation...

A war mammoth (1: incredibly balanced) is behind you at pole weapon range.
A war mammoth (2: incredibly balanced) is behind you at pole weapon range.

>roar anger
Your teacher's voice echoes in your thoughts. "The earth is not alive. It cannot truly feel anger. You, however, can." Remembering that lesson and the form of intimidation you must use, you release a low, brutal roar.
A war mammoth laughs off your pitiful attempt to make it second-guess its footing.

With War Stomp --

You assess your combat situation...

A war mammoth (1: solidly balanced) is behind you at pole weapon range.
A war mammoth (2: solidly balanced) is behind you at pole weapon range.

>stomp enormous
A war mammoth pulls itself up in readiness to attack.
>
A white flame fills your vision as you summon forth every ounce of energy you can spare. All of your battle rage, all of your hate, all of your joy -- everything you think and feel makes the flame burn brighter. Bending every fiber of your being to the War Stomp, you drop to your knees, slamming the base of your scimitar to the ground with a singular vision of your enemies falling before you.
Roundtime: 2 sec.
You stand back up.
The ground underfoot a war mammoth shakes with the fury of your strike, forcing it to adjust its footing.

A war mammoth (1: badly balanced) is behind you at pole weapon range.
A war mammoth (2: badly balanced) is behind you at pole weapon range.

Same factors for both tests. Full IF/Voice. Main weapon in hand. 105th circle Barbarian. Just a quick example of how War Stomp could be more effective than Anger.

Also, if you were dancing dragon in your test, and your charisma is decent, would the mamoths have laughed off anger to begin with?

Plus, did you have the stupid title up?

I see now and the very next time I have multiple mammoths after me I will consider using stomp, assuming I'm not dancing or wanna reserve the option to berserk.

Or maybe I'll just run away.

>The two mammoths in the Anger test were incredibly balanced to start. The two in the stomp test were solid to start.

>I don't know if that matters or not.

It does, them being incredibly balanced makes it harder to pull off Anger the Earth.

But after Jaedren's second post, I believe he was trying to show there are different factors in the success of the two abilities. For one, multiple opponents might not be a factor in War Stomp, where as thats a pretty big factor in a roar.

Jaedren, can I have the stupid title, please?

>Stupid Raydell arrives.
>Raydell giggle, slobbering a little.
>Stupid Raydell just went east.


--Raydell et al.

"Well folks, you know what that means... now I'll do a dance."

You wouldn't want the Stupid title, because it's a non-guild title like Commander or Captain, so it would nerf your roars.

Is War Stomp also affected by title?

Gruesome

I had just been wondering what war stomp actually did so I came here and read through a few post. At a first glance it was like...wow.

From Incrediable balance to

You assess your combat situation...

as per GM Jaedren post involving his test with 2 mammoths and a 105th level barb. I was like now that...will be something to look forward to.

Then I noticed something that made me go...nokay.

>You stand back up.

While its all well and good that the mammoths are now off balance, you mind redoing that test and showing us just how tanked your balance is?

Does it kill your balance, or is the"you stand back up" part of the move itself......did you stand back up automatically? I could see it working as all one move and come out with pretty good balance if thats the case.

Codiax.

The ability is useless. I've used it a whole 3x in goblins with all of those times occuring the night I first got it. Take it away and give us a dance that boosts mental stats or gives a boost versus mental blast.
