Well the rulebook does say that this is so. Looking over this as written, while I know it's the intent, the armor penetrating carriers shouldn't work, as the Effect only kicks in when it gets to your Body Points. I was looking for the wording on how Body, Chaos, and Healing, are worded, but...

By my reading, you have the correct answer, but not quite for the right reason. A Carrier attack still has the Weapon Qualifier, but the Carrier is the Effect (though one contingent on breaching armor). Changing the highlighting, this part still keep us from having multiple carriers: This...

While the wording of UB is somewhat vague, the example clearly shows adding the damage/carrier onto the users blow (regualr '10 Normal' to '70 Body' with expenditure of a 6th level Evoc Bolt).

By the text, United Blow just adds damage and carrier to a 'swing from behind'. Most of the time this will be a weapon blow, so United Blow would not be changing that. I do see some potentially weird interactions: - If you have an alchemical coating on your weapon (let's say an Enfeeble), and...

With the formalized effect/delivery/qualifier paradigm, what exactly is a 'weapon attack'? My reading of it is that it's any attack with the Weapon Qualifier. It seems like other people are interpenetrating it as any attack with Physical Delivery, which covers a broader range of what is...

I'd be interested, assuming we can meet up in time for me to get them to the Malestrom before they go off.

BTW: any idea of how many events we'll be doing at Huddart (or theoretically any other SM County parks) this year? It looks like they have an annual pass that would be worth it if we're doing over 10 days there in a year.

Just in case anyone coming to the game isn't reading the chapter facebook, game location has moved: https://www.facebook.com/groups/alliancesf/permalink/10156232163345838/

Do we have an IG location set for this (or at least which campaign)?

The more I see these discussions on the mechanics of channeling, the more I question what the whole point of it is. As it exists currently in 2.0, it is just an alternative form of the signature spells. Yea, it can be a bit more flexible in how it's dealt out, and it goes against a different...

For a Scholar though (who we're talking about here), Counteract is pretty good. Works against Reflect and Bane, which they are far more likely to see returning their attaches than a Riposte, and is much cheaper than using High Magic for a Cloak.

As it is written, it looks to me like only the person landing the potentially healing effect can ask "are you healed?". Is this the intent, or can someone else watching the combat ask the question?

Though there looks to be at least 2 exceptions to that. Purifying/Draining Strike and Dispelling Strike appear to not to be Meditatable, as they are Scholarly skills, and not "expended spells or per-day Martial or Stealth skills". Is this intended, or an oversight?

As I read it, Memory Strike is co-operative ritual, where a caster charges the item, then hands it off to a non-caster, while Warrior's Incantation is allows a caster (or even better a hybrid-caster) to Channel spells through it on the fly. So a Fighter, Rogue, or Scout would want Memory...

Regarding the discount: is that usable on the chapter's next event, or the campaign's next event? As we generally tend to alternate, it would tend to not be usable by folks who only PC one of the campaigns if it's the next chapter event.

Bamboo also makes a pretty good core, being much better than PVC, but generally not quite as good as kitespar. You can usually find it at OSH or similar stores under garden supplies. Though you may have to dig through them to find ones that are strait enough, and of good diameter (they often...

I think you're conflating two separate issues: power disparity been high level characters, and the power of paragon paths vs build replicating MIs. Higher level characters are pretty much always going to be more powerful than lower level characters. Yes, it is common that the high level...

Heyya, I just wanted to pipe in with a slightly different perspective. I will definitely agree that starting out NPCing is a great way to learn the rules and safe combat practice, and that if the adventure/combat end of the game is where your interest lies, getting a good grasp on the rules...

Heh. Reminds me of this chart:

It's open already, and can be found here.
