So I sort of forgot about Gen2 for a bit...
What's going on in Felicity's group?
Richard's being attacked by the rear guard. Felicity waws picked up by Sasha and off to save them or something.

Richard and Salena were ambushed by fel orcs and Salena ran away and grabbed Felicity while Richard fights them and they just showed back up and she ripped one of them to shreds.

Athal and Sarringal have been kind of cut off from the group and are surrounded.

For Home Guard I have a new creation (mwahaha, kidding?) that would probably fit into the badlands group best from what I've read. As far IndAz goes I like the hinterlands group
We'd be glad to have you in either.

I think I'm going to go with Home Guard can I get a recap? <3

Alright, but I can only vouch for the Badlands group. Essentially, two of them set out to hunt down a black dragon heard to be hanging around the area and being still alive. On the way they picked up the others, and stopping in Fuselight, found out about goblins getting slaughtered. They plan onluring the thing out with a fake goblin loaded with the scent of its last victim.

Yeah, basically the group consists of a human engineer (Richard), four frost dwarves (Angvis, Ingvis, Thulmar and Skanvad), two purified sayaad (Venhildara and Ashepta), a blind human priest (Peter) and his guardian worgen (Lucas), a human lawman (Wyatt), a goblin (Frizza) and a drake engineer in the guise of a half elf (Loki).

So, here's a bit of a random question for everyone.
Would a hooved roundhouse kick (IE: A Draenei or Tauren roundhousing someone) Hurt more, or less, than a regular roundhouse?

Yep, definitely more so.

Gotta agree with Light and Stab. I'd say how much more painful it'd be depends on what kind of roundhouse. Striking with the flat of the hoof (as would be done in Taekwondo, were draenei and tauren real and also into that kind of martial art) would involve the force being concentrated behind a smaller (and harder) surface. In the case of the draenei (when it comes to surface area) that is, tauren hooves are wider by comparison, but they also would have more natural force to put behind the blow. It's hard to say exactly how much strength they have in comparison to one another, but imo it stands to reason the former would deal a more penetrating blow while the strength behind the kicks of the latter would be stronger yet spread out over a wider surface area.
Striking with the shins or top of the foot (like in, I dunno, karate or something) would be different. Not sure on this, but I think animals with hooves tend to have a higher concentration of muscle (and not much else, excluding the bones they come with) in their lower legs, so attacking with the shins would also hurt more (than a foot without a hoof) but without the hoof actually connecting. Attacking with the side of the hoof (equivalent to the top of the foot in this case) on the other hand would involve the hoof connecting, but I'm less than certain of the outcome there. The force would be concentrated on the side that strikes, as opposed to the bottom, and with the cleft in their hooves I could see it maybe breaking the skin, but again idk. Might be overthinking the sharpness of the edges there.
I imagine they have tougher hooves than horses too, otherwise horseshoes (or, well, an equivalent with a fancy name so they don't feel bad about themselves) would likely see more use.
Anyway, my only defence is I never claimed this would do anything more than (hopefully) sound logical and also I haven't played the last few xpacs <.< >.>
That and the mental image of a tauren performing a roundhouse kick is seriously making my head hurt...

Yeah, I know a straight Taekwondo kick would definitely hurt more, but hoofed legs are sorta built for kicks like that.
But it's true the thicker muscles would probably add to the side-impact. I suppose the hoof itself could cut, but bones aren't really that good at causing that kind of damage.
So I imagine the ideal way to do it would be to make impact with their equivalent of the ankle. It would probably have the right support of bones and muscles for the maximum force.

Good job folks. Home Guard is at page 100.
