All Yliakum inhabitants are ambidextrous !!

[Merak]

In all paper RPG, most players try to have ambidextrous character, to handle two swords at the same time and double their number of attacks. They must be happy in Yliakum ^_^ !

Will it be possible afterwards to have left or right handed characters ?

Idea #1: Wrong hand has a malus of 20% (for example) for everything, compared with the good hand.

or

Idea #2: Have separate levels for right and left hands:
- a left-handed PC will handle his sword in left hand. Thus left hand\'s sword skill will increase, while right hand will stay at zero.
- If he wants to fight with 2 swords, he has to train for his wrong hand also, and will have level 10-3 (left-right), or 10-10 if he trains more to force his wrong hand to be quite as good as the good one....
- In order to keep good hand/bad hand unbalance, it could require two times more training and XP to level up the wrong hand.
- This could allow someone to train his good hand with a sword, and the bad one with a shield, a spiked shield, a main-gauche or a wakizashi... (10-1 in sword, 0-7 in shield)

Love the idea.. needs a few tweaks.. its possible to get both hands the same.. so having it x2 exp malus FOREVER wouldnt work.. there should be a x2 exp malus until a certian level then it should pan out (eventualy they both feel natural)

Another idea is to have a skill of just \"off hand\". Then no matter weither you are using sword or axe or whatever, you would fight with the main hand with that skill, and with the off hand of either the main skill, or \"off hand\", which ever was lower.

It\'s exactly as hard / easy to learn something with one hand or the other. It\'s simply a matter of being used to use the primary hand for everything. However, it is the exact same effort of learning for the other hand even if you can already do it with the primary hand (I tried).

Therefore, I think it\'s a good idea to have to train the secondary hand anew, except for the theory, which will be transferrable of course. That way, you would need to spend 100% on one hand, regardless of which, and about 50% on the other hand if you already spent 100% on one hand.
