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).

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.

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?

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.
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.

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.
Talent for reference:
Edit: Another Question if it's okay.
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:
And how does Chain Lightning interact with Meditate? Do you have the bonus for only the first two times if you manage to get bonus attack with it or does it work for all of them if you manage to get more than two?

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.

Bump, add talents you gain from weapons into it as well.

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.
Does such a thing (meaning the target an ally bit) trigger with something like this?
[+1] Wild Power - Standard Utility
A random ally gains 2 energy.
Because you choose an ally at random but said ally still wounds up being the recipient(/target) of your SU.

Just asking to be sure.

You don't target with random effects. So, I believe those two things would not work together.

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.

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.

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

Do we go by MtG ruling of X=0 in such a case or what?

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.

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."

“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
