Weapons and block

I'm pretty they're both tempered with the same steel. Afterall, Karls makes everything.

Well I think archer weapons are a different thing entirely. I don't think any archer would try to block with their bow or crossbow. They're hardly designed for that.

But otherwise I do agree fully. As it is now, the blocking is strictly limited to clerics and 1h sword fighters, and as it completely negates damage once it kicks in, it's pretty unfair to other characters to not have such an option. Especially the less rigid ones.

Staffs and bows should maybe gain more evade for that part where fighters and clerics have block? That would work better possibly as staffs and bows can be rather quick weapons.

Archers could wear one of those mini shields on one arm to block

It's perfectly plausible that a person blocks with any weapon. People thinking that staves and bows are fragile clearly haven't ever handled them in real life. With staves, I'm talking about combat staves of course, but magic staves and combat staves would essentially be the same. Bows aren't so fragile, they've been known to be used to block sword attacks and what not before.

maybe think of blocking with bare hands eek.
You can actually block a swordhit by hand if you know some things xD
So if we go to real life thingy, all characters should be able to wear some mini knives to stab, know some asian kickass moves etc. -.-
it's just a game so yeah, if you would make all characters block it would be weird from that point i guess because as i get all Characters in Fiesta are kids. watch the size and what we looks like. xD
And for another example you can take Blahs drawings ^^ the lil fiesta kiddies with big boobs

So i guess that we aint some ninja-babies nor superbabies so no blocks are needed ^^

btw: super-ninja-babies kick asses ! ^^

I guess thats true, lets all go watch some films where wood blocked metal, such as lord of the rings lol ^^

from level 20-40, all bows are metal.

the level 50 bow is composite and i know some composite materials are stronger than metal, so...

I kinda have to disagree, while end does need to be revamped a little i think block should only pertain to classes that will fight in melee.

I mean c'mon compare a mage staff to a equivalent of a fighter's axe/2handed sword...If you TRIED blocking with that it would break

i agree with this except for archers. what archers should have i think is kinda a more evade kinda thing. you know because we would want balanced classes
