Is it possible to hit with your fist while holding a dagger (as they are a very light weapon, at least compared to the others) to gain benefits from brawling knacks?

[Squeegy]

I'm afraid not. That's simply not within the game's rules. Unarmed is unarmed. Dagger is dagger.

Can spear people stab diagonally?

[Squeegy]

Yes, as per the Knight in Chess.

[Andres]

Yes, as per the Knight in Chess.

You mean the bishop, right? Knights move and attack in an 'L'.

So I'm looking through knacks and I've noticed a distinct lack of crossbow and gun knacks. Also, I found this in Spear knacks:

Handling the Situation
Requirements: Specialization: Spear VI
It’s occasionally necessary to get a grip on yourself to avoid being shafted. When blocking an attack with your spear, you may add your spear’s damage dice to your attack dice pool. You may not carry over damage bonuses. (ex. “+4”)

First of all, how do you block with a weapon? The section on blocking (p.123) only mentions blocking with a shield or buckler. Secondly, why would an increase in the attack dice pool matter when on defence?

[kj1225]

Yes!

I haven't been this excited since I found out I can get Hotline Miami 2! So... I haven't been this excited since this morning.

So I'm looking through knacks and I've noticed a distinct lack of crossbow and gun knacks.

The bonus is how easy it is to kill with them.

Yes, as per the Knight in Chess.

No, he means the knight:

"A melee weapon may only target an opponent in an adjacent square. If the weapon has reach,
the choice of targets is extended to two squares away. To determine whether a square is “two
squares away,” consider the movement pattern of the knight piece in Chess. For example, a
square that is one to the right and two above from a character can be hit, because a knight
could move to that square in Chess. As long as there is a square between the attacker and the
target that both of them are adjacent to, the attacker can hit the target, as long as there is not
another target in that square."

No, I mean the knight.

All Bow knacks apply to crossbows. Guns don't have knacks.

Also, I found this in Spear knacks:

It’s occasionally necessary to get a grip on yourself to avoid being shafted. When blocking an attack with your spear, you may add your spear’s damage dice to your attack dice pool. You may not carry over damage bonuses. (ex. “+4”)

First of all, how do you block with a weapon? The section on blocking (p.123) only mentions blocking with a shield or buckler. Secondly, why would an increase in the attack dice pool matter when on defence?

From Step 1b, Section 7.4:

If the target has a shield and rolled higher than the attacker’s roll to hit, the blow is blocked. If the difference between the target’s roll and the attacker’s roll is at least equal to the shield’s Counter-Attack Rating, they may counter-attack. If the target has a buckler, they may not block ranged attacks . The target can also choose to try and block with their weapon, as long as it is a melee attack, in which case they roll with downgraded attack dice to block the attack.

[Andres]

I read that section twice and I didn't see that bit. *facepalm*

[Squeegy]

Hey everybody,

I messed up and made the locational damage chart calculate thresholds based on your current VP instead of your maximum VP. Unless you feel like fixing the equations yourself you'll have to make a new copy of the Foot Soldiers sheet (here) and copy the information over.

[Raycaster]

Fixed my sheet

[Andres]

No peeking.

[Andres]

Is looking at things a free action?

[Squeegy]

Oui.

[Andres]

Is it possible to walk 6m as a free action, jog 12m as a half action, and then run 20m as a full action? I'm rather certain it's not possible but I just want to make sure that neither this nor some close variation is true.
