I noticed an inconsistency in different sections of the rules that I thought I should make sure I get clarified.
In the Alchemy section on page 110, weapon coatings are used up (and I'm totally paraphrasing) if they hit anything on the next swing. So if you completely miss they are still active, but if it is blocked with a weapon or shield it is used up (which is why I've always been sure to put them on people who like to circle around and attack from behind instead of engage head to head)
When I was reading "Calling Damage" as part of the previous question I asked, I noticed it says, and I quote "If you use an effect such as Endow or Vorpal Coating to add damage to a weapon, then the effect is used up regardless of weather the blow was successful." While I know Endow gets used up regardless of hit or miss, the other section indicates that a miss does not use up the coating whereas this says it gets used up regardless.
Which is correct?
Also as a point of clarification - if I block with a weapon that has a coating, is the coating used up since it made contact with the weapon, or is it only if I attack and it is blocked? (The latter is the literal interpretation, but I know that's not always consistent) Since I use a staff, does it matter if I block with the "blade" padded portion, or the 'handle' portion?
Thanks for your time in answering these .
