Reading the Pound of Flesh thread reminded me of a question I've had for a while.

When making AOE attacks in Arcanis (whether from spell of maneuver or whatever), do you roll once to-hit and compare it to all targets or do you roll once per target? Once you hit, do you roll once for damage on all targets or do you roll damage separately per target?

ARPG 347


Damage could be read either way, I have always read it as one damage roll also (for speeds sake if nothing else) but at WF last weekend i looked again and decided your mileage may vary from judge to judge

Thanks. That's how I've been playing it and thought I'd read that somewhere but couldn't find it last time I went to look and occasionally I've seen things stated on the forum that implied (at least to me) that you roll to-hit each target.

For speed and efficiency, I've always done it 1 Attack / 1 Damage roll.

Should be 1 roll......

While in some situations the chronicler may let you roll against every target (when faced with a TPK for example)

pedro, 1 roll to hit AND one roll to damage?

Just in general, can you ever roll 1 attack roll but roll multiple damage rolls?

John, off the top of my head the way AOE spells reads you could read it Either way (and while I come down firmly on the side of one damage roll others don't)

spells are the only way i can think of that do AOE damage, i cant think of a technique that hits multiple targets and does not specify that separate attack rolls are needed

Fair enough. I think it could be a little ambiguous, but when I've always extrapolated from the very clear "1 attack roll" to be a corresponding "1 damage roll" since creatures (only than minions) still take damage on a miss. It seemed odd for me to roll damage for creatures individually from a blast of fire, etc.

I think that too but I corrected someone, and then looked up the rule and found it wasn't clear enough for me to correct them with.. so whty im still asking for a clear statement.
