Couple Things

If I have use bow three times, does it raise me base bow damage to '3 vorpal'? I know it says if you have it twice, it ups damage to '2 vorpal', so I'm just guessing.

What happens if you have both "Roach" and "Meditate"?

Now, this is more a question I meant to ask last year, but it still has merit.

Currently, in order for a call to surge, it must either contain the word "Crush", or have no number, and calls that have numbers do not surge.

Does this mean I can block a (fist-physrep or packet-driven) 30 boom with a weapon?

The only one I know is that the 30 boom does not surge and can be parried because it's a melee attack. The rest i have no idea about.

Hope that helps.

40 boom is not a melee atack and cannot be parried unless delivered through a first.

I don't mean using the Parry skill. I mean physically stopping the packet with a weapon.

Since the effect does not surge yeah you could bat it with a weapon unless ofcourse that becomes so stupid we have to put an end to it.

Actually... Mageball could be a LOT of in-game fun.

'And the bases are loaded with Theon stepping up to the plate. Vaun looks left, looks right, and OH! It's a curve! Can he hit it? YES he does! It's a GRAND SLAM!'

Cristo is in the stands and tries to catch the giant home run ball of magic and is instantly disintegrated into a fine powder.

On the other hand, weapon attacks preceded by a number can be blocked by a
weapon or a shield, and packet driven attacks preceded by a number can be blocked by a shield.


pg 81.

NO, you can NOT bat packets. It is unsafe.

I can agree with it being a safety issue.

If I have use bow three times, does it raise my base bow damage to '3 vorpal'? I know it says if you have it twice, it ups damage to '2 vorpal', so I'm just guessing.

What happens if you have both "Roach" and "Meditate"?

Somewhere it said to a max of 2...I'll look for it.

Edit: Found it - "Players who invest in the use bow skill twice increase their base damage to 2 vorpal. This is the maximum increase that can be obtained. "

It's in the Heroes and Villians post, under the savage discipline Hunter and Gatherer.

It's the only place it is listed. Maybe want to drop that a couple other places for consistency? :D

Mediatate and Roach do not stack.
