Shattered Kingdoms

Well the only disadvantages to being mounted affect hammer fighters, who incidentally are the best at fighting on horses. Basically there's almost no advantage to being mounted, hence why nobody ever rides horses anymore. Yeah... you can't be tripped, great, that doesn't really mean anything because it mostly helps hellions and paladins, and pallies/Hellions don't get any sort of wimp for being mounted. But your right it would definitely make mercs way imbalanced to be able to trip people while mounted.....

idk, rial, it sounds like you're asking for a buff that's specific to hammer mercs. I understand that you play a hammer merc and wouldn't mind seeing them buffed, but when asking for your character to be buffed, you generally have to produce some sort of argument about why it would be good for game-balance to buff your character. It's definitely not clear to me that hammer warriors need to be buffed. Between IA, horsemanship, and for some enemies HoL, hammer warriors are already the best melee characters in the game, hands down and without competition.

Harlies are the best cabal bar none. But yeah i'm asking for a buff to hammer mercs. It's not really about balance, it's more about being able to do something other than bash.

You can quaff, disarm, order, and rescue. Not much, but it's more than bash.

And harlies get the advantage of getting around the law code, but once a fight starts, hammer warrior > harlequin warrior.

The hammer advantage is insignificant compared to being able to avoid the law.

The ability not to be bashed is insignificant when compared with avoiding the law, especially since bounty NPCs were nerfed.

Bounty NPCs still spawn en masse, and guard NPCs still attack on sight. Being able to chase someone down even in their own city is very significant.

Not really.

yeah it's actually huge, easily better than anything the hammer has. Also it's kinda hard to pick targets when your being attacked by six people with the exact same adjectives. That's not even taking into account the other spell which is arguably even more powerful.

Once the fight starts, the advantage is clearly in favor of the Hammer character. Honestly, when it comes to group pvp, I'd say the MC owns them all with ease.
