I've read help combat and combat explained and combat mechanics and pretty much anything else I can find. I killed a couple of kobolds and rats and gotten absolutely trashed by another thing that I ran into somewhere else.
Let's start with the status bar, which as far as I can tell is completely unexplained:
<50/50DF 0ST 0WN 0LG (E 12/50:25/50)>
Defense, Stagger, Wounds. Got it. What's LG? After that is the direction I'm facing, got it. But what is 12/50:25/50?
Other puzzlements:
I guess I have a few ranks in Short Blades. Which doesn't show up under discipline or discipline cost. I didn't even know it was a skill that existed until I accidentally gained a rank in it. Why doesn't it show up?
The move command puzzles me a little because the math doesn't seem to work out either way I interpret it. Like if I've got a beast at a distance of 50 and I type "move beast 10" does that mean I'm trying to close to a distance of 10 or does it mean I'm trying to move 10 units closer and thus end up at 40?
It seems that when I'm beaten in combat I get dragged off somewhere and tied up and I'm completely helpless. I was lucky enough to have somebody nearby when this happened and I was able to be rescued, but if you're off by yourself and you lose a fight with NPCs are you literally just expected to sit there in the middle of the woods hoping somebody finds you?
TIA.
