That sounds like a great idea for another item! You should PM it to Kindulas.

on it

I can't wait to see the cool Tank Weapon. :3

If you have both the Energizing Amulet item and Rapid Recovery trait, and you begin your turn with 3 PiPs: do both of them give you a PiP, or does one of them give you a PiP, then the other see that you now have 4 PiPs and go sulk in a corner?

Descriptions, if you need them.:

You get to choose which order they trigger in, but one triggers and then the second... So you'd only gain 1 pip.

Odd question
But is there anything against players sharing cash to a point they can say spend 4000k on lvl 1?

Yes. Your DM can break this rule of course but it is SEVERELY not recommended.

Ah, ok. Thanks. And hmmm...

Though you wanted those two effects to stack...

They do, when you're low enough for them to work.

0->2
1->3
2->4
3->4 only one activates

I do like the idea of a build thats only -1's, -2's, -3,s and -4 powers and using those two items. Don't do anything fancy; just grind out advantage over time.

Works well with the free action reroll initiative combat talent too, so you can trigger the recovery on your first turn plus get a free initiative bonus.

First turn Blood Pact, and Not Compensating.
Every other turn = Not Compensating = Win?

Um... Unless you got Motion Blur, you wouldn't be able to do that combo turn one. Not Compensating spends a Minor Action to use as well.

And speaking of that odd effect, does that mean you can't trigger the Oversized Sword if you are dazed?

Yep.

It does, I believe. You do not have the action to expend.

Any reason the Bracers of Ludicrous Speed is worth 4800 gold and not 5000 or 4500 gold?

There's a mathematical formula, but that is stupid. We'll fix it.

Coolio... Also any reason why there isn't a third middle version for speed boosting? I mean there is a 1000 Gold version that gives +4, and a 5000 Gold (I assume it'd be rounded up from the 4800 amount) version that gives +20... Maybe there should be a version that gives like +12 at 3000 bits?


Also... I know I've asked this before, but answer I got was mostly just grouping effects into two groups. Which doesn't help me at all personally. So what's the flowchart of basically EVERY status effect like getting Temp-HP, Resistance, Take half Damage (there are like five or four of those now, can they be comboed together?), vulnerability, and ect, interact with eachother how? What is the order of events between all of these types of effects?

Does an attack that is made to 'Have no Effect' by some sort of ability still give/take the pips for use?

Yes, that cost is paid before any actions are made to nullify it

Kindulas is correct.

As for your questions Xel...

1) The trait that provides an initiative boost, which you can get for 2000 gold, is rather the middle tier. We could easily make a 3000 gold one though to make things feel more symmetrical. I think we will.

2) Honestly, this is a complicated question and it's 1am... I'll answer it when I'm more awake.

1) Things that modify the attacker's stuff before any damage is dealt (like weakness or an effect like Hawkeye) happen first. They tell us the total amount of damage the attacker is going to dish out.

2) Things that modify the amount of damage the person getting hit is going to take happen second. For example, Resistance prevents damage your *would* take - so it gets to act before vulnerabilty.

3) Once the person getting hit *does* take damage, things that wait for him to actually take damage trigger - like vulnerability.

4) The person loses hp.


In short - all the modifiers on the number of damage the person would deal (steps 1 and 2) pretty much happen at the same time. It doesn't really matter if the attacker's damage is halved first and then doubled or doubled first and then halved. Then once the person actually *takes* damage, things like vulnerability trigger.

Where does Temp-Hp go on this list?
