Game Mechanics

Posture Up is a special class of posture change. It changes the target's posture to the next higher posture. If the target is prone then it kneels; if the target is kneeling then it is forced to stand. Targets that are hit with Posture Up attacks can start changing posture immediately, as with any posture change. Posture Up has a 30 second timer, much like (but independent of) knockdown during which the target cannot be issued another posture change again. The effects of Posture Up can be mitigated through either having Defense vs Posture Up skill modifiers. Posture Up defensive skill mods will reduce the chance that the effect can be applied to the target. All posture up attacks have a base chance of succeeding against a target which is further modified by the target's defenses against posture up. Posture up success chance is further lowered on a scaling basis against targets of higher CL than the target initiating the posture up.

Formulas

Note: Supposedly all states have a 5% chance to be applied/resisted regardless of defenses on the target.

  • 1. Needs a base Posture Up application success chance for creatures.
  • 2. Needs a base Posture Up application success chance for player Posture Up abilities.
  • 3. Needs a formula for comparing Posture Up application success chance versus Posture Up defense modifiers of the target.
