Code:

[Skills help] blitzkrieg
 
Syntax: blitz
 
Blitzkrieg, like other skills which fighters have, can be used during
combat to increase the damage done to their enemies.  It allows those
wielding a slashing(!) type weapon to make a single attack against everyone
in the front row of the enemy formation.  The skill can be used but once
every few rounds.

Code:

Subtype should decide success, not damage type. Magical damage on 'slashing' style weapons shouldn't prevent blitzkrieg.

I'd love for speed to enter into the formula in an effort to make slow weapons you can't get 4 attacks from a viable alternative. Maybe blitzkrieg could be the equalizer through big damage for things like halberds and whatnot.

Speed already does in a sense given that high damage weapons are typically slow.

Well, I guess in that case let blitzkrieg work on more, if not all, damage types

Have you ever seen a blitzkrieg from a landsknecht?

Halberd blitzkrieg is nasty.

Yes. Ertyuio was built to capitalize on the combination of specialize plus halberd plus blitzkrieg. Worked great except there's only a few really good halberds at the time. It is a great combination, with buffs it would be sick.

I rolled a giant halberd spec merc and wanted to go hammer with him, but I couldn't justify getting rid of Turon at the time. I wonder just how effective he would have been.

That would have been awesome to see.
