What if it's a fist attack?

Yes, my Character does have 'technical advantages', but unlike you might think.

My character does not have altered stats, altered skills or any "unique armor of gods".
The only technical advantage my character ever had was that he was able to summon selected creatures without the usage of the ingame spells/mana.
Never used that much, exept in special quest situations or when I needed to draw attention on my character.

As Grant already mentioned, Rotworms can kill my character with ease if I dont watch him closely.
As Adano mentioned, I distributed my Stats quite averange (yet I dont really remember them its quite some time ago).
You still aren't fooling me Darlok... I have heard "things" about him, I mean I saw Darlok kill Thaseus in 1 hit when he had 2 shields. And thaseus is a very good fighter. Then you killed Ashburg without being close to him and ashburg is a great fighter... Then you teleported to Kale Orton.... I still think your character has had "advancements". Not to say he is a GM controled character like Ashkatuul, but that you have some GM powers so he can't be beaten easily...

@Grant

Yes, finally, it's about time an old player is beating up the newbies who somehow manage to become demonkillers in two weeks.

In any case, I believe the player of Darlok is telling the truth. He's been around longer, he probably knows more about the combat system than most people. There could be a million things that gave him the advantage he had, why not experiment in game? There's more to the combat system than the shades of red on your skills list.

And what's so unusual about killing a player who is (but shouldn't be) wearing two shields? Even I know many ways to penetrate a two shield defense, it's not that outlandish.

Yes, there is a way to get through a two shield defense, but not a way to have the weapon you use strong enough to kill him in 1 hit. Darlok has done to many things infront of me, and to many people tell me about things he has done... I am sure he has more power then the average character.

Actually, there are several ways/conditions to break through a two shield defense. There are also several tricks to do that can make you better than the average player, you just have to explore.
