Streak ???

[Nari Stonefeet]

Hi there !

I was looking in the datasheets for polearms attacks, and I found that the 'impale' attack had a 'streak' effect ... but I didn't found anything about this 'streak' ... what is this ? a frightened effect ?

Streak is an aoe effect in a line. Think lightning bolt in tabletop. Maybe it represents throwing the spear?

i'll try this on the field tonight

In the "Copy of PFO Wiki - Official Data", there's a tab named "Source Effects" that gives a description of each Effect. It's a bit cumbersome to get to, but very useful.

Streak effect - That's when i take off my armour and run at you with my pole. Might be frightening O.o

My bad, it's not in the "Copy of", it's in "Nihimon's Lookup Data".

From an early draft of effects:

Effect name: Streak
Type: AoE
Description: This is a line AoE that affects all targets intersected by a line drawn from the attacker through the target up to the maximum range of the attack.

Not sure if it has changed since alpha started.

ok, thx for your answers ... and jokes :)

[<Kabal> Daeglin]

*bashful* :)

[Nari Stonefeet]

it was just not so easy to answer my boss why I was laughing like this :)

Streak is, as noted, a line AoE up to the range of the attack. The spear attack is a melee streak, so it will hit multiple targets if they're in a line and really close together. Basically, stabbing so hard it goes all the way through people and stabs the people behind them. Like a boss.
