Attack 1REALISM: 5/5 POWER: 4/5 only because teeth suck and aren't super super bad to the bone TIMING: 5/5 CREATIVITY BONUS: +2 YAY FOR REALISM!!! OH MY GOSH HOW I'VE LONGED TO SEE THIS DONE IN BATTLE SINCE REAL HORSES DO IT ALL THE EFFING TIME! AHRIMAN
Attack 2REALISM: 5/5 POWER: 5/5 TIMING: 5/5 CREATIVITY BONUS: +0 ILUMINA
Defense 1REALISM: 3/5 -1 Why rear or buck up into it? He's litterally pulling on you and to rear is only going to give his weight that much more of a stronghold against you since you then become incredibly unbalanced. -1 since it's a counter, the majority of this is down below. But I will say that you have super horse speed and clairvoyant powers or something because he's feasting on your neck at a close proximity when you counter attack as if you knew he was going to attack your leg. DAMAGE: 4/5 -1 You really should take more damage as this really can injure your horse pretty badly considering the nerves. ever see what happens if a horse flips over and cracks his withers on the ground? A horse's hammering bite force as just about the same PSI if not more so. Plus his weight on you, plus striking out... Dead can't fight, dead can't breathe so please don't use the "I'm dead" excuse because as far as I'm concerned you're a mortal and mortal horses definitely react to pain. TIMING: 5/5 CREATIVITY BONUS: +0 ILUMINA
Defense 2REALISM: 4/5 -1 You should never accept broken ribs of any fashion, with broken ribs you're absolutely destroyed. Game over, no sense in fightng further because you have the potential to kill yourself by furthering the intensity of the injury and potentially puncturing your own lungs. DAMAGE: 4/5 -1 Compressed muscles and contracted muscles are going to HINDER you. They're much easier to tear and rupture beneath strain. TIMING: 5/5 CREATIVITY BONUS: +0 ILUMINA
Attack 1REALISM: 3/5 -1 .... From this angle you do no good to strike out straight ahead at him. He's attacking from the side inorder to grab your neck or slightly from an angle etc etc and punching out at your knee. From what I understand he's slightly to your side, so unless you're striking out and then to the side in some acrobatic feat.... Yeah. -1 You then say he hits you and re-directs your attack. That basically in itself writes your attack off as worthless? POWER: 3/5 For the fact that the angle skews it, and he hits you which redirects it which means your blow is going to be glancing at best. TIMING: 5/5 CREATIVITY BONUS: +0 ILUMINA
Attack 2REALISM: 2/5 -1 Coming up behind another horse is dangerous and in real life he would have time to kick out and further injure you especially with your injured foreleg hindering your ability to get away. -1 You have a slim to none chance of really damaging him by biting his dock and a slim to none chance of reaching it due to physics and how you'd have to throw your weight into your forehand inorder to REACH it while rearing which has your weight in your hind limbs. -1 Rearing on an injured fore with broken ribs is a huge "I think not" as far as realism is concerned. POWER: 3/5 -1 because biting/hammering at the dock with your teeth is going to pinch and rip skin off yes, but it's not going to cause any crucial spinal or nuerological damage like you mentioned. Horses scratch their tail heads every day leaning their entire weight on itto itch back and forth against trees, fence posts, and routinely cut, scrape, or bump this region if they startle in a stall or out at play and happen to hit something when tucking hind end to back up and pivot etc etc. At best it will make him bleed and severely irritate. plus, due to hair follicles being there that have no nerve endings, you're going to be lucky if he really feels anything at all. Keep in mind also that equine chriopractors routinely tug, pull, lift, this region roughly to realign horses. -1 Striking out and rearing at him with badly injured ribs and an injured foreleg just isn't going to be as powerful as say an attack from a horse with non-broken ribs and a non-injured hoof that you WILL have to land on. TIMING: 5/5 CREATIVITY BONUS: +2 the biting of the dock thing was very interesting and I haven't seen it before. It would serve as a great distraction if anything :) AHRIMAN
Defense 1REALISM: 5/5 DAMAGE: 5/5 TIMING: 5/5 CREATIVITY BONUS: +0 AHRIMAN
Defense 2REALISM: 4/5 -1 Sliding? I can see hitting the brakes in the idea of a buck to kick out so sure, but not so much a sliding stop. DAMAGE: 4/5 -1 A blow to the hock is a blow to the hock and would be serious agony especially with the vast majority of your weight centered into your hind quarters. TIMING: 5/5 CREATIVITY BONUS: +0 AHRIMAN
Subtotal: 59/60Elemental Score: +1 you mention your fire :) Bonus Points: Penalties: -2 -1 ... Careful with your defenses. -1 please pay more attention to the weather conditions, use them more, address them more. FINAL SCORE: 58/60 ILUMINA
Subtotal: 48/60Elemental Score: 1 you mention your lightning:) Bonus Points: Penalties: -3 -1 because of the third attack. You rearing into his bite to hurt his jaw is perceived by me as a first attack since you 100% could injure him this way. I had to go back in and reread to figure out what your real attacks were so I am booking you down on this and docking a point because it's a major infraction in my book. Please be careful next time. -1 because you seem to shrug off injury because your character is "dead". I'm sorry but I find this highly furstrating because dead horses do not fight, they do not breed, they do not exist. Please take more injury regardless of your horse's living state. This should not be some sort of get out of injury free card. -1 for not really paying attention to or mentioning the weather conditions other then the fact your horse is cold. FINAL SCORE: 46/60 By my judgment, AHRIMAN is the winner!
