When you start a battle with this weapon equipped, you may bring all of your combat talents into battle (instead of choosing 5).

Unless you can start a battle with a conjured weapon, there is nothing to worry about...

Oh. Fair enough then, that's my question answered.

Could you post the talent in question?

The trigger is based on if multiple allies are hit by an attack. If an attack meets that criteria, you can use the ability. There's no reason why the attack *also* doing other things, like hitting you, should invalidate that.

The AOE attack is treated as if it had only you as a target instead of you and a bunch of other people. So if it would deal 8 damage to up to six creatures, it deals 8 to you instead.

counts as targeting for the purposes of

Master Defense
Prerequisite: Expert Defense
Instead of the benefits of Expert Defense, you gain the following benefit instead.
Whenever a creature targets you with a with a single target combat talent, you may roll a d12. On a 7 or higher, the combat talent has no effect on you.


actually on that note can targeting as a whole get a definition?

level 10 inventor feature:

Does this Density Feature require one to have the Utility talent Create Crazy Contraption, or do you get the three free uses of the talent without needing the utility beforehand?

Skiped Questions... Make sure not to skip Fury's question that's above me too.

missed these again...

1) If a talent doesn't say 'target' - you aren't targeting anyone. Target is just a keyword-like-thing for selecting a creature for a talent. Thus Master Defense doesn't interact with Grab for Power.

2) No idea about the Amulets of Protection. Those are cool.

3) You don't need Create Crazy Contraption to use the level 10 feature. The feature itself is what lets you use the utility talent, you don't need to have the utility talent already.

Like a boss. 

Deathly Vigor:

Due to wording, does this mean Deathly Vigor allows the target to ignore comatose status?

Actually, due to its wording, you can't even use it on a comatose ally...

You can say that twice...

I'm sure this has been asked before but, I can't remember the answer. Do the Energizing Amulet and Rapid Recovery stack?

Indeed. However, as they both trigger at the start of your turn - you choose which order the effects apply in. So you gain the pip from one first and only gain from the second if you're still meeting its criteria.

Ah, that's important to know. Maybe that should be noted somewhere next to one of those two things?

It's a general rule that the player whose turn it is chooses the order that "start of turn" or "end of turn" effects apply - so it needs to be noted in the general Rules Compendium that Nehiel Mori is working on.

How do conjured weapons fit in with "real" weapons. Say your character has both a real weapon (something from the treasure trove) and a conjure weapon combat talent; can you use both at the same time? Conjuring a weapon overwrites your normal combat talents with the ones specific to that conjured weapon, does it over write combat talents granted by weapons, armor and trinkets too? And want about weapons that grant a grant a combat trait like perk instead of a combat talent? Would that get overridden too? Can the Dual Wielder trait allow you to use a conjured weapon and a real weapon at the same time? Can the Dual Wielder trait allow you to use two conjured weapons at the same time?

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find it. It isn't in the treasure trove document and it isn't in the Combat Talent document, and the search function didn't turn up any likely solutions here on the forms. If someone could explain the rules and how conjured weapons fit in with and compare to treasure trove weapons, and how the Dual Wielder trait applies to them I would appreciate it.

Talents gained from Items are always usable.

Don't worry, a talent that conjures a weapon only replaces your *normal* combat talents - the ones you select at the start of a battle - with the conjured weapon's combat talents. You can still get the benefits of your normal equipment and traits that grant special abilities to you - such as being able to use a special combat talent or gaining a perk as you put it.

Gotcha. Ok, thanks all! Again, I'm impressed with how quickly this form operates.

Glad to have you here. Just drop a line if have any other questions or, even better, ideas for the system. =)
