Blade and Blunt
Stamina-Based Combat
Combat actions now have real weight, as stamina governs your ability to attack, block, and bash. If your stamina is low, your effectiveness drops significantly, which encourages deliberate pacing and timing during fights. This change turns every battle into a test of endurance and judgment rather than button-mashing.
Injury and Critical Effects
Strikes can inflict debilitating effects—like stagger, knockdown, or movement penalties—if timed or aimed well. These effects are situational and not random, rewarding skillful combat. The system creates a sense of physicality and danger, especially in prolonged engagements.
Armor Rebalancing
Armor functions in a more grounded way by reducing incoming d... -
