Fantasy Craft Second Printing Q&A Thread

[Antilles]

I'd think that Lady Luck's Smile would apply to both dice rolled, since it affects individual dice, while Fortune Favors the Bold affects the result, not the dice.

[Crafty_Alex]

When you use Wise Counsel, you roll one of your dice and add the result to your team mate's roll, so the roll benefits from whatever the Sage can bring to bear, but none of the recipients abilities. You're not giving them an Action Die, you're spending one of your dice and giving them the bonus.

If the Sage has a roll 2 and add ability that applies to the check, it applies when using Wise Counsel. If the recipient has the ability, it does not apply.

And the +X applies to the Action Die result, not the individual dice. So in your example, you get a 5.

Krensky is correct.

[Krensky]

I agree, Antilles, Lady Luck's Smile would trigger on either or both dice since it's expanding the detonation range, but adding to the roll.

[Krensky]

Krensky is correct.

But of course.

That little subtlety is something I learned a long time ago with the Chance Feat heavy Action Dice monkey that is the Pointman in my SG-1 game.

[Gilbetron]

Ok thanks for the clarifications!

A follow-up question:  If a teammate has a "Practiced" feat/ability, say Investigate, and my PC uses Wise Consul, does the "get action die back on failure" work for the action die my PC spends?  I'm thinking no, as only the teammate's action die is refunded, and Wise Consul lets that teammate use the *result* of my PC's action die.

You are correct. That combo would not work.

[Gentry]

When you [a sage] use Wise Counsel, you're not giving them [your teammate] an Action Die, you're spending one of your dice and giving them the bonus.

This is the money shot of Krensky's statement, and a fine single-line explanation that clarifies most any "does this combo work" question.

[Psion]

On the other hand, most Chance feats combine with Wise Counsel nicely, given the phrasing.

[Gentry]

Certainly, if they belong to the Sage in question. I've got an action-die rapist Sage player out here who's rolling d6+8 or something every time, and being able to spread that love around makes him one of the most popular guys at the table.

In passing, thinking about Spellbound and looking at the concepts going into Channeler and Sage 9th level spells I read across the Nature's Fury rules on page 369 in FC and realized something seemed off with the Lightning rules:

A Near Strike lists 1d6 Flash damage among it's effects, which is basically a non-effect (since that'd be a DC of 1 to 6, DC 15 for half), is this right or is it something remaining from a previous concept?

Curious as to where I can find an update document that I can print out to stick inside my copy of the 1P Hardback.

Apparently I'm an idiot. I can't find the downloads page.

If you haven't been to the company front page in a while, the link will take you to the front page the first time. It should work fine the second time.
