IIRC i read somewhere that when fighting with two weapons, you only get 1/3 of the DV modifyer for each weapon. dunno if it's true, but i got this idea concerning that: the higher your skill with the weapon in question, the more of it's DV you get when fighting w/ 2 weapons. also higher 2 weapon combat skills would help.
it'd work like this: normally, you get 50% of the DV from each weapon. if you have 2 weapon combat, this increases by 1% per 10 pts in it, and allows you to increase it with higher skill in the weapon, the more DV you get out of it when fighting w/ 2 weapons, at a rate of 1% every skill level. thus, if you weilded 2 swords, had 100 Two Weapon Combat skill, and had grand mastery with swords, you would get 150% of the DV bonus you would from weilding only one sword (normally you would get +18 DV, but with this you would get +27 but wouldn't get a shield). to make it a bit simpler, DV bonus from fighting 2 handed would be:

Without 2-weapon combat skill: 50% of normal from each hand
With 2 weapon combat skill: 50 + ([2-weapon combat skill] / 10) + (skill in weapon)% of normal from each hand

what do you all think?

seriously, i would. but i only know 3 languages: english, pig latin, and HTML. i've got lots of ideas for games, but i can't make them and nobody else wants to give them a shot. part of being able to make up formulas like that was doing beta-testing on a game called Titans of Steel and making suggestions, and reading formula suggestions... also having enough free time to do most whatever i wanded really helps.
what do you all think of the formula i came up with?

Why not have a look at "Blitz Basic" - for all intenets an purposes a pretty good, and easily programmed, games language.

If you can pick up a back issue of PC Plus you can get the program for free.

too lazy...
if there was someone here who knew how to program fairly well, and would be willing, we could come up with a game... mebe i could come up w/ formulas/plotlines/etc, they do the programming... i have a couple friends that are good w/ GFX if we needed it...

What a coincidence; I'm a decent (at least I like to think so) programmer, but I've never been good at graphics. If you want some help, I can give it to you, but don't expect TOO much, please. I'm quite busy as is.
