Okay, I see. I like the idea!

That sounds neat! Picking lighter armor for more mobility makes sense, but what about the superiour or exceptional pieces? If I want mobility, in what way will it make sense to equip a superiour piece? Am I going to be stuck only with using less protective light pieces?

Yeah, I'm thinking along the same lines there. A 'Sharp, Light Scimitar' makes more sense than an 'Unprecedented Scimitar.' The latter seems more esoteric, as if the character has the particular knowledge to recognize what makes it an unprecedented item.

Seems like it usually ends up with always procuring and using the exceptional items - which doesn't necessarily mean they're better, though. I tend to think of it as a circumstantial thing, as in, which item is good for what situation. But there can be a little confusion at times when you try to...

Certainly, in the game-mechanics it would make much sense, but we are after all talking about practice here, not a fight to the death. I mean, of course, in a real fight the purpose is to kill or disable your opponent, but in practicing you're not actually going to kill them. Doesn't that defeat...

Okay, I see your point and I agree with it, but although a dulled metal sword will hurt more (if the material is heavier or the shape more massive), it's not going to kill you either. Well, if you don't get hit in a critical area of your head, but that's possible with a wooden weapon too. Not...

No, I don't. Or, well, empirically, yes, but not academically if that is what we mean by knowing. Though I don't see how discussing what I know or not is relevant to the issue?

There's also the constant press of attack (or lack of defensive fighting) and the use of the double-swing move (if the AI you're facing has that skill). This can be used to your advantage as it becomes a distinct repeatable pattern. Maybe it can be remedied by having the opponent use a more...

Iron or steel weapons, say swords, could also have their edges dulled. That way you'd have the correct weight and feel.

What about a sorts of training area where you fight (non-lethally) your own recruits/hirelings or randoms?
