Default Re: PvP - Getting Hit Mechanically vs. Realistically/RP-Wise

Magic... it's a... ahem... yeah... magic has the ability to make an awesome warrior look like a ninny (in this case, the magic of the clothing)... why do you think 90% of dwarves at least distrust magic if they don't outright hate it?

If you want to imagine what the fight might have looked like "close" up with all the effects our game can't render: Shiff's sword is bouncing off an almost invisible barrier before ever reaching ..err, B.... the barrier only becoming slightly visible as Shiff tries to break through it. "B" would have felt nothing as he was never actually hit.

Of course, that's only one way to imagine it. One way or the other, the magic absorbed Shiff's attacks so "B"s body didn't have to.

P.S. Advice from one killer to another: Before you throw down discover your opponents weaknesses so you can exploit them; don't trust your own strength.
