1. In the Core rulebook, page 270, Martial Technique: Overpower. The entry says: Weapon: +10

Q. Is this on the attack, the damage or both?

2. Codex of Heroes, page 84, Talents, Path of the Scale, Tier IV: Thick Tail says: ...granting you an additional d(Mi) in damage any time you successfully use Tail Swipe.

Q. I thought the trip maneuver did not cause weapon damage, just the trip, or does tail swipe cause weapon (unarmed) damage where other weapons don't? If it just gives you damage onto the trip, then it shouldn't be worded as ADDITIONAL damage as there was no damage to ADD to and should read to the effect: granting a d(Mi) damage....

3. Codex of heroes, page 109, New Martial Techniques, Pounce: Effect: Weapon; if you also successfully bypass your opponent’s Fortitude, your target is knocked prone.

Q. I'm assuming this is with the attack not the damage, but it doesn't specify....

4. Also from the same entry: and it may only be used against opponent’s one size category larger or smaller.

Q. So this maneuver cannot be used on an opponent of the same size category? Doesn't seem all that logical or useful if I can knock down an opponent larger than myself but not one my own size.

5. Would the pugilist talent stack with natural claws or just allow character to do the d4 without claws?

6. Would Iron Fists talent also work with natural claws?

These are all from one of my players.

I have a few questions or needs for clarification that I came across while planning my character's progression that I did not remember seeing in the FAQ or errata:

Thank you for reminding me of this. For sheer roleplaying goodness, I am giggling like a little girl right now

Going to resurrect this because I have a question to add.

If a normal trip does no damage (that being just a normal tail), does a trip say with a tail bracer or staff do damage?

Trips using either the "Trip Foe" Martial Technique or the "Trip" Simple Combat Maneuver do not do damage. Only if a trip (or otherwise proning) attack says it does damage does it (See "Shield Slam" Martial Technique)
