Year 10 Day 321 11:30	Question about NPW
Davy Hawker	-Question- If I 'fire' a Non projectile weapon lets say a 'vibroaxe' at someone in my square, how long will it take to hit? The rules say: The speed of an NPW weapon is given by: (6 * Fire Delay) / (Dexterity + 1) So if the fire delay of the NPW = 6 My Dexterity = 2 Does this mean that the weapon will hit after (6 * 6) / (1 + 1) = 36 /2 = 18 hours?

Cesodevo Avina	No, it will hit directly. The fire delay merely means that it takes 6 hours until you can use the weapon again. Edited By: Cesodevo Avina on Year 10 Day 321 11:34

Zon Trennick	Ermm, Your dexterity is 2 you said So Its (6 * 6) / (2 + 1) = 36 /3 = 12 hours, and A vibroblades fire delay is only 4 hours so it is (6 * 4) / (2 + 1) = 36 /2 = 8 hours :) Your calculations were fairly far off :) Edited By: Zon Trennick on Year 10 Day 321 11:37

Cesodevo Avina	NPWs have a fire delay because all weapons have a fire delay. Consider it the time you need to pull back your arm and then take a swing. Keep in mind that combat is not implemented, so any deeper inquiries or theories may be hypothetical at best.

Zon Trennick	4 hours to bring your arm back and lunge again? I this should be changed when comb*t comes out

Hal Breden	It's delayed realtime to allow people to respond if they're not logged in when attacked. If someone can hit you every 5 minutes, then if you go to bed an hour before they attack you, you're going to be dead long before you wake up.

Zon Trennick	Thats the realism of it all, If your character sleeps hes gonna die :)

Cyrus Braveheart	“Thats the realism of it all, If your character sleeps hes gonna die :) ” I would assume if your asleep then hit with an ax and not killed you would wake up.

Year 10 Day 322 3:00	Question about NPW
Zon Trennick	Well yeah, But would you wake up and find your enemy sitting with a cup of coffee and a timer coming down from 4 hours, or would you wake up and find the axe flying at you again?

Year 10 Day 322 3:14	Question about NPW
Weylin vi Cron	And you have the same exact fire delay. It's to give everyone a realistic ability to react. To everything.

Year 10 Day 322 5:53	Question about NPW
Zon Trennick	Will there be no such thing as a 1 hit kill then? The chances of a sleeping man surviving being attacked with a vibroaxe aren't good, I wouldn't think :)

Ellias Aubec	If they are sufficiently weakened or otherwise low on HP, and your weapon does sufficiently high damage, yes it would be possible to kill them in one hit.

Year 10 Day 322 10:53	Question about NPW
Hal Breden	Sniper rifle + no target armour + low level, no race-multiplier character = one shot kill.

Year 10 Day 323 13:53	Question about NPW
Drexel Skorzeka	Realism is not the name of the game. Combat discussions are purely hypothetical. There is no 'sleep' in the game, only 'time delay.'
