Dropkicks and Knockback

Unread post by Axelmania »

What just happened to Arnold in South Africa has got me wondering, have we ever gotten any knockback guidelines for how far damage can send you, and if you can slow that down by getting knocked into someone behind you?

Do you get a bonus to MB when there is someone nearby to use for balance?

I guess we could borrow knockdown rules for vampires but the amount it takes to knock them down is usually enough to kill humans.

yeah there's too many ways to determine knockdown. Needs to be simpler.
