Hi Jason,
Quick question on the "Fury" sorcery spell on p131.
It says:
"The spell increases the number of attacks that the maddened character can make in each round by one additional attack (and only one)... The spell does not add skill percentiles or increase damage done, so the targeted character needs to have enough percentiles in his or her attack skills to make an extra attack."
This doesn't seem to make sense. If the character has "enough" percentiles to make an extra attack anyway (I'm presuming this means 100%+ in an attack skill), in what way does the Fury spell increase the number of attacks? If the spell provides an extra attack, presumably it should:
i.) either do so at the target's original attack chance, or potentially force the target to divide his or her attack chance to include the new, extra attack. A skill in excess of 100% is not required.
ii.) allow the character to ignore the DEX rank -5 rules for extra attacks in the case of this attack, ie if a 160% fighter has DEX9, he would normally only get 2 attacks, at DEX 9 and DEX 4, totalling 160%, but the Fury spell would also allow him a third attack at DEX 1, although all three attacks would still have to total 160%. This option seems of limited utility!
Cheers,
Sarah
