Yes it's me again xD Trying to get this all clarified as in my circle I try to be the rules lawyer to a point and do not want to be giving misinformation that people argue about the books true meaning. My questions are as follows

1 - Am I correct to assume that if I use a Heavy Warjack for example, it can only boost either it's attack roll OR it's damage roll. Not both on the same attack correct? Providing it has enough focus.

2 - That brings me to fury, according to this links wording (as I don't have Primal MK2 yet and won't until my order this weekend) http://teamcovenant.com/doctormungmung/2012/04/02/the-warcasters-dilemma-focus-vs-fury/ that fury allows you to boost both attack AND damage rolls to get 2 boosted chances on that one attack or more if you have the fury.

Am I understanding this correctly?


Thanks!

in regard to warjacks you can boost both if you have enough focus, but only 1 boost per focus.

I havent read the hordes book yet but i would say it is exactly the same mechanic, 1 boost per focus/fury, boost as much as you want till you run out, but only 1 boost per attack roll and 1 boost per damage roll.

boost is a weird looking word...or maybe it's just me

Okay then, because the rulebook says attack OR damage and I see that "or" operator meaning either one but not both. Then from what I've read Hordes has the "and" operator indicating both. I just hope I haven't been playing it wrong! Thanks for correcting me on the first half Bullockist!

It's 1 fury to boost 1 attack roll, it's 1 fury to boost 1 damage roll. This can be done as many times in a warbeast/warlocks activation as there are available fury point on the warlock or free on a warbeast.

Same for Focus, 1 focus to boost 1 attack roll, it's 1 focus to boost 1 damage roll. This can be done as many times in the warjack/warcasters activation as there are focus points available on the warcaster or warjack.

Thanks guys! I asked in PP's forum as well but I appreciate he quick responses

Thanks!

nope. you're misreading it. they write it the way they do as spending one focus will not boost your attack roll AND your damage roll, outside of special rules like powerful shot. . spending a focus/generating a fury for the purpose of a boost is very much a case of 1 focus/fury per boost for your attack roll and 1 focus/fury for your damage roll. outside of the previously mentioned powerful shot or other spells/feats/buffs, it will cost you 2 focus/fury to boost both the attack roll, and the damage roll of any particular attack.

The main thing to remember is that each roll can only be boosted once. Anything that has "additional" dice can stack, but you only ever receive one "boost".

I think that may have been contributing to the confusion.
