They add together, because if they didn't, Highborn would be a complete redundancy (since you would gain the same amount of racial points by taking pick of the litter again).

I don't think that Rammus is correct, but a kickstarter like thing seemes frowned on...

Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
Can You use the mystic sheath with the Conjure Celestial Staff talent? It says it applies to conjure weapon talents that you brought into battle with you, which has conventionally meant the 5 talents you pick out of your 8.
- mystic sheath:
- Mystic Sheath - 2500 Gold
Trinket
Once per battle, you may use the following combat talent
Call to Arms - Free Utility [1/Battle]
Choose a Conjure Weapon talent you brought into battle with you. You may reduce the cost of that talent by 7 energy and use it immediately. This cannot reduce the cost to below 0.
- Celestial Staff:
- Staff of the Stars
Once per battle, you may use the following combat talent.
[-7] Conjure Staff of the Stars – Minor Utility [1/Battle]
You conjure a Celestial Staff in your hands. You can dismiss the Celestial Staff as a free action. While you are wielding a Celestial Staff , you cannot use your other combat talents. Instead you may use the combat talents below.

Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
As written, you can't use the two together. That's a shame though, we might change the phrasing to make them interact.

Is a monster dominates a player, can it force them to:
Activate Special Moves?
Use Weapons?
Use Armour abilities?
Use Free actions?
Also can you use Free actions and standard actions when dazed?

Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
It can, but often times the way we do domination is not to have the DM just take over the character, but instead tell the player "Deal as much damage to your allies as possible" or "Use your biggest healing move on me." Gives the dominated player something to do, some... guilty pleasures of a sort, rather than a version of stunned that lets the DM hurt them more.Hayatecooper wrote:Is a monster dominates a player, can it force them to:

Also, a dazed states it can't use free actions, but it can take standard ones. Just, nothing else once they've done so.

Oh well, probably to much to hope I can use crushing blow with a dazed creature.
Thank you though.

Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
I apologise if this question has already been asked.
If an interrupt chance, for example an enemy attacking an ally, appears are multiple allies/creatures able to use an interrupt or just one?
The specific situation I'm thinking about in this case is summoning multiple Celestial Avengers and firing off multiple Divine Retributions at once.
If there are 3 or more enemies on the field is Chain lightning able to bounce between them in sequence as long as the rolls are high enough or can it only target each of them once.

- Talent for reference:
[-3] Conjure Celestial Avenger - Standard Utility
Conjure an allied Celestial Avenger. It has the following stat-block.
Celestial Avenger - 1 HP
Trait - Celestial Shield
Celestial Avenger has resist 3
[+1] Avenger’s Challenge - Standard Attack
The Celestial Avenger deals 1d8 damage to target creature.
[-1] Divine Retribution - Interrupt Attack
Trigger – An enemy attacks an ally
Effect – Deal 1d12 damage to the triggering enemy.
If there are 3 or more enemies on the field is Chain lightning able to bounce between them in sequence as long as the rolls are high enough or can it only target each of them once.
- Talent for Reference:
- [-2] Chain Lightning - Standard Attack
Deal 1d10 to target creature. If you roll a 6 or higher you may make this attack again without pay its energy cost, except you must choose a new target.

Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
Whenever you're fighting with a conjured weapon, you can't use your other/regular combat talents.
Does this also extent to the ones you get from combat traits or are those exempt from that?
Just asking to be sure. Apologies if it has already been asked before.

Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
I know this has been asked before.. And the answer is Yes, you still can use those talents while using a conjured weapon talent thingie.
Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
Does such a thing (meaning the target an ally bit) trigger with something like this?Inspiring Words
Whenever you target an ally with a single target power, that ally may roll 2d8. For each 8 rolled, you and that ally both gain 1 energy.
Because you choose an ally at random but said ally still wounds up being the recipient(/target) of your SU.[+1] Wild Power - Standard Utility
A random ally gains 2 energy.
Just asking to be sure.

Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
You don't target with random effects. So, I believe those two things would not work together.

Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
I'd argue that you are dealing with "random targeting" so having it be only allies, would count to me... Honestly I don't see why it shouldn't work.
Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
Because its been ruled that random creatures are not targets, because no specific targeting takes place. It wouldn't work.

Targeting involves... Targeting. Random doesn't target. If it doesn't say 'target' - then it doesn't count as target.

Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
Pretty sure it has been asked before but I don't see a comment explaining it, nor can I be bothered to comb through backlog but here it is:
What happens if you chain the 12 special of Derpy's Lightning
Do we go by MtG ruling of X=0 in such a case or what?

into a combat talent that costs [-X] or [+X]?12: Use one of the combat talents you brought into battle at random without paying its energy cost.

It's been asked before.
Since you're paying 0 for the talent, X is 0.

Do these two work together?
[-4] Crescendo - Standard Utility
Target creature gains 1d4+1 hp or 1d4+1 temporary hp
Target creature gains 1d6+2 hp or 1d6+2 temporary hp
Target creature gains 1d8+3 hp or 1d8+3 temporary hp
Target creature gains 1d10+4 hp or 1d10+4 temporary hp
Target creature gains 1d12+5 hp or 1d12+5 temporary hp
Inspiring Words
Whenever you target an ally with a single target power, that ally may roll 2d8. For each 8 rolled, you and that ally both gain 1 energy.
Because Crescendo isn't an AOE but rather single target effects to go off after each other. Just asking for clarification.

Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
While things like this are counted as separate hits, like how the old damage version multi-triggered vulnerability, this attack does have more than one target. Sometimes in the past in think we might've let that kind of thing slide, but really the power affects more than one creature other than you, so it can't be "single target."Demonu wrote:Do these two work together?

Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
wait, can we get an exact definition on single target vs multi-target vs doesn't target?
I'm confused now.

Re: Ask a Simple Question - Get a Simple Answer
“Single Target” talents - Some abilities refer to “Single target” attacks or talents. This doesn't only mean that talent “targets” a single creature, but it means talents that only affect a single creature other than you, in any way - for instance, “Fireball” deals damage to “Target creature and each creature adjacent to it.” While this only lists one “target,” the attack affects up to three enemies, and is therefore not a “Single target attack.” However, talents which affect another creature and have a side effect on the user - such as “Blood Slash” - are still considered single-target.
In the past we've kind of gone by feel, but a week or two ago I added in a hard rule on what "Single Target" meant
