Title: Tail armor?
Post by: Minks on November 18, 2006, 04:33:42 pm: You all know the rat plague in Ojaveda. When I go hunting them, I often encounter more than one. While I have good control of the rat in front of me, the second one behind me keeps biting my tail, ouch!

What do you think, do Enkis curl up their tail inside their armor or are they too proud to do so and prefer to take the risk?

But those rat teeth are sharp, my poor tail. :'(

/me sighs

Just look how tight around the tail it is. Enki tails seem to have more strength in them for sure compared to cats and dogs ;)

Post by: miadon on November 18, 2006, 09:34:42 pm: well not really as the tail is important to balance, cut that thing off and your enemy is BADLY handicapped.
Title: Re: Tail armor?
Post by: Nikodemus on November 18, 2006, 10:52:40 pm: Yeah^^, when you focus on cutting the tail off, which is on the side of your enki enemy, in the meanwhile the enki will cut your head off as it is closer ;P
Title: Re: Tail armor?
Post by: Nurahk on November 18, 2006, 11:13:34 pm: I agree with both point...

Niko's more

:D What kind of terrible fighter would focus on just on the tail :P, well the point is, it is a vital point of the enki body and should be well protected. :)

And someone who is prepared to live with no head ;P
Although i rather want to keep my tail, rather to chop someone else head off. I'm not sure what would be the feelings of my enemy ;>

Post by: Nurahk on November 19, 2006, 12:57:37 am: bilbous is correct, but if you are completely outmatched, armor isn't going to help you much

Post by: bilbous on November 19, 2006, 01:25:33 am: Well if you completely outmatch your opponent you are in no danger while you dismember him.
