Using these numbers, you've posited that in almost all scenarios, attackers will have Deadly Strike. I find that an odd supposition, seeing as there are numerous other exploits a character could have. Likewise, this presumes that the attackers are skilled (2d6), equal Grade to the defender, and...

As a side note, seeing as the kevlar jacket and battlesuit are within a couple of points of each other when the attacker does not exchange against the former but does exchange against the latter, it means that the defender wearing the battlesuit is less likely to suffer critical hits as the...

While Aim+Exchange+Deadly Strike does more damage to the battlesuit, I don't think any attacker would do the exchange against the target in kevlar jacket. That means that when the attacker Aims (or has higher ground, since the odds are the same), the defender in kevlar expects to take 8,33...

Looking at the numbers again, I noticed that there is single shot scenario where heavy armor is worse: a normal attack when the attacker does not have the option to Aim for some reason and does have Deadly Strike. I'm going to see about crunching the numbers for some other scenarios later...

Time for some math! Comparing the kevlar vest (SOAK 5) with the basic battlesuit (SOAK 8) against a skilled attacker (2d6 from skill for the damage), with both target and attacker being Grade 5... the battlesuit wins in pure damage numbers. Providing that the only relevant exploits the attacker...

You can get a pretty good idea for the expected [W] for weapon powers by looking at the simplest Fighter powers at each level. At least for encounter powers, note that damage does not increase at all levels. And I recall there was a Dragon article about improvised actions that ranked the...

That was what I had gathered as well. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite tell me what to do with Climb Speed (and swimming, etc.) or Jump distances without a running start. For the latter, I don't really have a problem with half-feets, but half a square of movement seems more out of place. Sent...

This seems like a good place to ask, so: for the life of me, I can't find the reference but I could swear the general rule was that you round down unless otherwise noted. Is that the case, or have I been playing too much DnD?

How about the limit of not gaining the Hook bonus on a roll where you are already adding a skill?

Did I understand the errata correctly, that there is no longer any reason to choose an attribute relating to a character's Hook since the option to substitute the Hook's attribute for a career's attribute increase is no more? Also, does the limit of not being able to gain combat benefits from...

The earliest I remember seeing the link is in Tome & Blood for 3rd edition. Therein was the Elemental Adept prestige class that had the link. My guess is the PrC was developed as a Fire Adept, and later someone decided that they could kill four birds with one stone. Except now many of the...

An option slotting between "just one spell per day" and "any number of spells per day" is that a recipient can always be affected with a more powerful spell. Does make optimizers go cantrip, 1MP, 2MP, but who cares. Sent from my PLK-L01 using EN World mobile app

In on short-lived campaign, I allowed the monk player to just add a couple of daggers to his inventory and fluff the attacks as ki blasts. Sent from my PLK-L01 using EN World mobile app

Ah, I just saw "screen scraping", and then Fantasy Careers, so my mind jumped to the PDFs. Well, in that case I'm going to note another formatting inconsistency you've probably already noticed, but the careers are not consistent if the lack of prerequisites should be 'none' or 'None'.

Wouldn't the WOIN RPG site's SRD be easier to scrape than the PDF? Sent from my PLK-L01 using EN World mobile app

Enduring object is under Create, at least in the SRD. Sent from my PLK-L01 using EN World mobile app

In regards to the increasing damage part, 8MP of Infuse gets you +2d6 to attribute checks which you could change to +1d6 damage provided you aren't already at your max dice pool. Presuming that getting only the damage, not bonuses to checks, is more of a hindrance than circumventing the max pool...

this was posted to the wrong question thread, that's what I get for not paying attention when coming back after thinking. Well, leaving it here in case somebody was wondering how to increase weapon damage through magic. In regards to the damage part, 8MP of Infuse gets you +2d6 to attribute...

OLD full book, p. 22, Races & Attributes, third paragraph "Attributes which grant a species bonus..." should probably reference race, not species. p. 23, top left, first full sentence "...substitute your hook attribute for of the listed attributes." is missing the word "one" between "for" and...

Thank you. It's good to know I got that right. I kind of like that you get twice the teleport distance when doing just yourself or a small group. I just wasn't sure since getting distance also got you more targets, and that felt odd. Sent from my PLK-L01 using EN World mobile app
