Hello fellow Mages,

today i seek your help concerning  a topic im unclear about how it works.

[mwcard=MW1J20]Sacrificial Altar[/mwcard] + [mwcard=MW1I02]Battle Fury[/mwcard]



I know there was a thread about the Altar quite some time ago. (http://forum.arcanewonders.com/index.php?topic=9405.0)
As piousflea states there, he really liked to sacrifice his buddy Adramelech combined with a battle fury. In his example he just adds the bonus 2 times.
Now things have changed because everybody knows, battlefury got errata'd. So i would apply the +6 melee for lord of fire only to the first attack.
But the piercing is still available for the second attack right? The sacrificial Altar directly says "gives the Piercing+X to a friendly creature untli the end of the round .

Im pretty sure about this too, since in a very new thread there was talked about the Anvil Throne Warlord's Battle Orders Ability (the one with piercing) and Ludwig Boltstorms Triplestrike attack.

Actually, it's worth noting that Piercing +X doesn't have the same limitations as Melee +X and Ranged +X.  So, would the Piercing +2 apply to each damage roll he makes, then?  (I was going to just say it would, but then I realized it isn't quite so crystal clear...)

piercing applies to all attacks, but ranged +x does not

The tricky part for me starts when i would sacrifice a say level 2 Creature (Venomous Zombie for example)
and want to buff my Darkfenne hydra to use its triplestrike attack, would i then roll
1. 3x (3+2 dice with +2 pierce)
2. 5 dice +2 pierce + 2x (3 dice)
3. 5 dice +2 pierce + 2x (3 dice +2pierce)

The problem i have concerning the altar is the "until the end of the round" trait.


Thanks in advance
Juli
