We don't need to change any existing weapon rules. We'd simply need a different "style" added to the system. Staff could remain 4, and Staff Mastery would be, like, 4 for Fighters (and follow the Florentine pricing). It would enable thrusting as long as the rep was thrust-legal. Frankly, I'd...

1) A player can use Riposting Blow to do an Empowered Strike + Any Spell Available To Them without expending the spell/ES. 2) United Blow is passive; can a player use UB without expending the spell?

I appreciate all the offers of help! I have located one. Thank you! -Shaman Zeth

1. By my interpretation, it would work against poison-qualifier weapon attacks; this is consistent with other weapon defenses that also block poison-qualifier physical delivery (Evade, Weapon Shield, Parry). 2. I agree with Dan; the first sentence is a summary (and a copy-paste from 1.3) of the...

I always recommend Epic Armoury, including their Ready For Battle line if you’re on a budget. I find their prices on Dark Knight Armoury tends to be pretty good, but you can price individual models easily enough via Google. Hero’s Edge is surprisingly good; I say surprisingly because generally...

I reviewed the Player’s Guide and the ARB; I concur that this entry does not exist. However, the ARB also does not have an entry regarding Signature Spells; the Player’s Guide does. I suspect that the text may have been lost by putting the Sig Spell information the PG, which is not designed to...

So, the RAW isn’t clear on this, but I feel like the intent of Precise Blow is that it’s intended to work with a Weapon qualifier attack. Otherwise, it would also be compatible with any physical-delivered numeric effect, such as Oak of the Arcane or Potion Coating. I don’t think that’s the...

I appreciate the offer! However, I specifically need the scroll in order to include it in a batch of rituals! Thank you very much for your offer, however! -Shaman Zeth

Additionally, if you don’t want to sell such a scroll, but you have one available, I would absolutely appreciate borrowing it so it can be Copied. -Shaman Zeth

Residents of Stradyn, I am seeking a scroll of Trap Avoidance; the magic must be able to freely travel once cast (OOG: not an LCO scroll). I have some rituals I'd be willing to offer in trade, or coin. Reach out to me if you're interested in discussing, and we can figure out a fair deal...

1. I assume it’s because the 2.0 rulebook is still undergoing revisions to catch legacy text or other minor errors, and so it wouldn’t be advantageous to place it there yet. 2. Vengeance is a damage effect that cannot be avoided. I’ve seen Plot teams use it like a qualifier, but that’s not how...

I’m genuinely curious how many chapters actually use the standard DB with regularity vs customizing their own monsters.

I think that last sentence is the best indicator that Doom Blow isn’t a great capstone. It’s best use is largely perceived as the equivalent of a pizza topping. By itself, it’s not useless, but it doesn’t really shine, either. Most people who get it do what you do; they get it as an augment to...

Surprise Attack is the only reason I might end up going 100 XP into stealth, arg. That synergy with my own Binding spells...uggggh...

Bullet packets and/or practiced aim can definitely make a scholar dangerous at more than 20 feet away. I actually had some pretty great snipes at my last game. As for close range, that depends on the Scholar. Oak of the Arcane or Shield can definitely be a game changer. Closing distance on me...

Hmm. I’m not sure that I agree that profs/bs aren’t the name of the game anymore, though I agree that they’re not as big a factor. The high level scout swinging with 5 or 8 Profs (2h or 1h) with 5 Backstabs for 10/20 damage, the rogue with 9 BS or the fighter with 5/8 Profs are still pretty...

Eviscerate was regularly reduced in Seattle against BBGs, tbh. And if monsters are reducing Body damage, that’s a local Plot decision that’s not part of the regular monster DB, I suspect.

Fighters no longer have a -1 move? Do all your monsters have over 500 Body? >.>

I suspect that Rogues are going to probably vary significantly from chapter to chapter. And, honestly, maybe even site to site. I've come around to disliking Doom Blow. I'd much prefer it if it included a burst damage factor. Personally, I'd make it do the Doom Carrier, plus damage equal to...

Not really. Two Evades, 4 Counteracts (I’m a shield user, so I suspect a non-Shield user would probably go something like traps instead), a Dodge, HA/Alchemy 5. I mean, yes, it’s a lot of XP, but you get a pretty hefty amount of stuff for that XP. It’s not something I’d recommend to a scholar...
