Tywyll Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I have a question about Martial Arts and their End costs... namely what are they? I'm running a Heroic level game. The character is using a Bow based MA. Normally, firing the really heavy bow costs him 3 END (13 STR Min). But he has a Deadly Blow Talent, increasing that to 4 END (I think). Now, when he uses a basic strike that adds two to his DC, does that increase it by 1 as well? How do you, genericly, figure in the END costs from MA? Thanks.

JMcL63 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: End cost on MA IIRC, MA manoeuvres cost no END. You pay END for the STR you use to make the attack, and any bonuses due to MA manoeuvres and/or MA DC cost no END. I think the same will apply to damage-increasing talents, unless the talent description says otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. 1) your pay for your STR normally 2) Talents don't cost END unless the description states otherwise 3) MA don't cost END (Curses, beat to the punch!)

Tywyll Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: End cost on MA Thanks guys! One last question about Talents... are you certain they don't cost End? I mean they are still built like powers after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Faraday Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: End cost on MA IIRC' date=' MA manoeuvres cost no END.

[/quote'] The only exception to this is MA manuvers that don't have an inherent use of strength (like martial dodge), which cost 1 END. Unfortunately, my book isn't handy or I'd give a page ref.
