[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6287575, member: 1"] Correct, yep. Fate got removed from an earlier playtest. Holdover. Ignore any x2 requirements. There may be tier-based requirements for traditions at a later date, but they'll be expressed in terms of tier rather than skill ranks. I know it's in N.E.W.; I can't remember offhand if that section is in O.L.D. But if it's not there use the N.E.W. rules - they'll be exactly the same (it's called "Stunning Weapons", I think, in N.E.W.). Yep, that's a conversation we're having (as I discussed above). Deadly strike only recently got moved to a combat trick; that seems to be an unpopular move, and it'll be back as a general option very soon. The intention of combat is that you increase damage by trading attack dice. So a big strong giant still only does 3d6 or so base damage with his club, but his STR gives him a big 10d6 attack pool which he'll usually trade much of for massive damage. So yes, I agree - deadly strike will be moved back to a regular combat option. [/QUOTE]
