| Post subject: | Sweep Talent and Trip Attacks |
Ok, this will probably have to wait for the weary crew to return from Origins, but... Sweep Talent. Am I reading this right? Does this talent really cost you a 1d wager to perform a second 3d wager you could have attempted otherwise? Is there any official clarification or errata on this? Seeing as in 1st ed, it let you sacrifice 2 hits/damage to knock your target prone, I'm not sure the revision does what it's meant to do. Anyone? Tom |

The trip does not do damage, it just knocks you prone. Sweep is: Attack w/1d Wager - if you succeed, resolve all the effects, then perform a Trip. |

Yeah, it took me a bit to figure that out. Kind of a "d'oh!" moment. Still think the Talent might be a smidge under powered as a Greater Talent, but then my players haven't been heavy on tactical play either. Is knocking someone prone that big an advantage? Tom |

Tom If you are ganging up, your allies will get a 4d bonus to attack the Prone target. Plus it makes it hard for the enemy to run away |

Good point. I need to add that info to my cheat sheets. (It's in my GM folio, but kinda buried.) Tom |
