Hey all,
I had a player bring something to my attention that I had never noticed before.
The Fire, Frost, and Lightning runes in the Forged in Magic states:
Quote:
Wand & Weapon:... The damage bonus applies to any spell that causes fire/cold/electricity damage as well all weapon attacks.
My player fights with a weapon and casts arcane spells. So he read the rules to mean that when has that rune activated on his sword he gains the bonus to damage to his weapon attacks
and the proper elemental spells he casts.
But because the wand doesn't have any rules to be used as a weapon. I thought it meant that when the rune was in a weapon you got the bonus to damage on weapon attacks, and when it was on a wand you get the bonus to damage on the proper elemental spells. Also the caster is not casting the spell through their weapon so the bonus damage to the spell wouldn't count. (I think.)
Is he reading this correctly, and all casters should be putting elemental runes in weapons instead of wands because you get the bonus in both situations?
