I asked before about the talent version, I've Read A Lot About It, wondering if the talent could be taken multiple times.

Can it also be taken multiple times as a racial trait? Or would I have to take one as a racial trait, and further skills as utility talents?

Having asked that first question myself, I can tell you that the answer is "no". Talents canʻt be taken multiple times unless it explicitly says so in the description.

As to the second question, I don't know.

And I've Read A Lot About it *does* say you can.
As for the racial, you can stack that too.

If I decide to put my other 3 points into something other than Natural Form, do I still have access to those traits while transformed?

If the race you transform into has those traits, you have them. For example, if you transform into a Unicorn, you would have access to Ponykinesis. Besides, Natural Form only gives Ponykinesis and It's Almost Like Flying while you're in your natural form anyway. If you transformed into a Pegasus while you had Natural Form, you'd lose Ponykinesis and It's Almost Like Flying (although you will gain Flight because you transformed into a Pegasus) until you changed back...

Yes, but with the new 8 point racials I don't intend on taking Natural Form. Right now I've settled for two trained skills and Magical Atunement.

What I'm asking is if I turn into a Pegasus, do I still have those two extra trained skills and Magical Atunement? Or do I lose them until I turn back to "normal"?

I assume you get 4 PiPs, 3 resist (since it doesn't stack with other sources) and two separate effect of "get two pips if undamaged by next round", both of which can be removed off same source of damage.

2) What happens if you repeatedly use "blood pact" (at once, or each round)? Does it:

- Grant +1 number of PiPs auto-gained each round?
- Effectively double the PiP damage by adding 'another' encounter-long effect, on top of the previous one?
- Do nothing, since the effect doesn't stack with itself

3) Does the "daze" vulnerability stack with other sources of vulnerability, due to being a status effect of its own?

4) Does the "whirling blade" vulnerability stack with other vulnerability (as the description states it only triggers off your own attacks)? It seems to be similar to "mark of the patron", which uses "extra 1 damage" instead.

[-1] Blood Pact - Minor Utility
For the rest of the battle, at the beginning of your turn, you gain 1 PiP and then lose 1
HP for each PiP you have.

1) Yours assumption is correct
[12:20:41 AM] Dan Felder: 2) The effects stack with themselves, so if you had 3 of them going... You'd gain 1 pip, then lose the life, gain another pip, lose some more life then gain your last pip and lose even more life.
[12:21:17 AM] Dan Felder: 3) It does not stack in the skype version. It grants combat advantage in the non-skype version and combat advantage stacks with vuln - but in skype it does not.
[12:21:50 AM] Dan Felder: 4) Vulnerability does not stack with other vulnerability unless specifically specified

Are you allowed to give that +2 to attributes you already have a score of 10 in? Or is 10 as high as it can go without the required utilities/racials

it is silent.
Dazzling Performance
8: You may use one of target enemy’s combat talents at random without paying its pip cost.
10: For each enemy, flip a coin. If you win that flip, stun that enemy until the end of its next turn.
12: You and target ally each gain 2 pips.

Still wondering about this one...

Grey Pen wrote:Oh. Though I'm only seeing one extra:

Started with 8.

CT costs 5, and says you can take 6 racial points post-transformation.

8 - 5 Pre-CT = 3 left over.

3 + 6 Post-CT = 9.

But, I guess I'll go edit my character sheet now... and hope it gets buffed a little.

Grey Pen wrote:Yes, we are using 8 points total. No, we hadn't altered CT to reflect that; though while we were waiting for an answer we had assumed I could use the extra 3 points post-transformation, though the opportunity never arose.

Meanwhile, I have another question along the same lines...

Rather than take Natural Form, I am currently electing to simply take IALF (or maybe full Flight) and take Ponykinesis as a utility talent; because PK is something I like to have access to all the time (and CT doesn't affect utility talents).

Because of this, if I transform into a Unicorn (for instance) can I instead opt to take one of the PK upgrades in place of normal PK? (If it matters, it'll probably be Precise PK the vast majority of the time.)
