Bring Back Bash Damage...

[Unknown Criminal]

Warriors and Zerks are missing some in combat stuff when their other skills are rendered useless, for example if your lore requires your opponents to wield a weapon and they don't. Or if you know your other skills are gonna fail because of qclass resistances, etc. 

What I suggest is bringing a failed bash back to 2 rounds of lag while also eliminating the ability to straight bash lock someone.

Lets say you bash someone so you receive 2 rounds of lag.

Your opponent receives 1.9 rounds of lag from the maneuver regardless of sizes.

Damage is based on your size vs opponents size.

This would change bash/slam from a race/class skill to a class skill allowing smaller melee fighters to use it while still catering the the larger classes with the extra damage. Also, eliminating the 3 round lag scare where it has such a high failure rate. 

Thoughts?

I'm sure roughes would be happy, as you'd effectively eliminate their bane. Seriously though, lag is there for a reason. If you want damage on top, you can either go fire giant or chose the meet the landslide perk at the Bazaar.

Your suggestion is a huge huge nerf to all heavy melees.

As Anume said, lag is there for a reason, even though I think that a win through laglock is cheap. If for a moment we assume that your suggestion goes through, it will make rogues/hybrids very very strong. 

Characters like Kotrag and Donovan will be the ones who gain the most from this.
