Hyper-Man Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Even so, they can still do less than the maximum. If this is a heroic game, then it akin to trying not to strike someone full force with the knife and just make a small cut. That's not in dispute. What I am saying is that using less STR (even "0" STR) does not lower the Active Point cost of the attack therefore any Naked Advantage purchased to affect an attack built on Less Active Points will not work with one built on a higher total.

Christopher R Taylor Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Yeah but you can voluntarily not use the full effect of a KA, thus lowering its active point value. Using it at 0 STR and only using 2 damage classes of a sword rather than its full 3 lowers its effective active cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, we are talking about a Heroic level game where mundane equipment is not paid for with character points. HM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HM Hmm... actually I'm not sure that was ever established (not that it really mattered for the purposes of the discussion much). The OP just said "Epic Fantasy", so it could well be a high power game. Demigods dealing with really tough mystical opposition, like an Argonaut game. Mythic Greece inspired our Champons GM to send us all back in time and we ended up subbing in for several of those guys. We were not overpowered. But you're most likely right.

Christopher R Taylor Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Incidentally, the triggered extra attack is how I built the "double attack" ability for EverQuest when I was working on the conversion to Hero for it. Its a proc: a chance of it going off, not automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
