Yikes..you mean Literal Dis-arming (or dis-legging)! :shock:

Could also mean dis-teething or dis-tailing (especially if tail is spiky & swings dangerously in your direction).
Dis-firing (dragon).
Dis-clawing.
Dis-smelling (skunk).
Dis-stinging.
??
Dis-spiriting (ghost)

A skunk :evil: Now there's an idea. What actor condition should that dish out? One that takes a really long time to go away, or requires you to buy a very expensive body wash :twisted:

Maybe a condition that slowly saps your charisma (x1 for 20 rounds)?
Well, no 'charisma' to affect, so.. maybe increases your 'evasion' skill -- makes most mobs (esp humanoid/animal types) flee? -Zombie types are attracted, however! :o
NPC's refuse to talk with you (until 'effect' is gone -- Or, use a special body wash..scrub yourself with baking soda?)
-- and/or --
Maybe it ruins a portion of your potions?
Makes your food/drink go bad? (ex: converts 'cooked' meat back to raw..thus chance of food poisoning)
Or just essentially gives you food poisoning (low-level..half a point/round -- but for Lots of rounds).

That would fit with the full round effect mentioned here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1168&p=58346#p58346. We could call it "body odor" :D

Ha! Or "Stink Malaise" or The Dank, The Stank, Eau d'toilet or Nasty Nasal.
Deadly Odor, Crap-Shoot (Effect/Condition), Smelly Asphyx, Breath Arrest..

Growlers have been known to get carried away..like stank wafting endlessly on warm summer's eve. :oops:

Gotta say, I'm rootin' for a skunk monster. :?

If there is an AP penalty to the attacker when counterattacked, then its not a counterattack unless the character tries to do damage. Nevertheless, I like the idea of the penalty. It could be a new applicable on-hit condition.

@Growler Yeah, literally! Any substitute will do. It looks like you are creative with words.

You known, it could be looked at as a skill. Binding can be used with sword and dagger, sword and buckler, and two-handed. What if it was a skill that could be picked up at a certain level and requiring a certain block chance or another skill as a prerequisite? Just spitballing at this point but there are opportunities for this.

Or maybe it's specific to certain off-hand items like daggers and bucklers. No shields since those give a bigger BC anyway. Maybe even particular two-handed weapons... certain axes or great swords. Again, just thoughts at this time.

I think there is a similar skill already. I think its Taunt or Cleave. I haven't checked in a long time so I could be way wrong.

With Taunt, the attacker loses 2AP on a miss.
