Previews: August and Beyond

[Klaus]

I really like the superior Axe with it's Brutal 2 Bonus. I hope that there will be a equivalent superior two handed sword so we have something that can beat that damn bastard sword

I'm not too sure about the warlock since hurting your team members can lead to hard feelings, but since we only saw one power it's better to wait for the full write-up.

I dislike the "re-roll until you roll higher than the Brutal value" bit. I'd rather have all dice lower than the Brutal value be considered as the value (so in the example all "1"s count as "2"s).

The house cat is once again a beast; knocks the Tarrasque prone on a hit!

I'd prefer a simpler handling, too.

I might have to yank this as a house rule.

I don't think it would be a big time waster and my player love rolling dice. Sometimes it is obscene watching these dice rolling fetishists get their thrills.

Don't forget it is significantly worse. I'd probably drop such item's value by a level or maybe 2. After all, that 1 rolled in the normal ability might become a much higher value.
