Choose different attack effect?
« on: April 07, 2013, 08:48:57 PM »
When an attack has multiple effects, for example 8-10 for effect X and 11+ for effect Y, and the effect die rolls an 11, can you choose to apply effect X instead of Y?

I wish. It is nearly useless (in my opinion) to get an incapacitated result on a Mage, and generally would rather have other effects on my opponent. I don't remember what the spell was that I used, but I scored an incapacitated on my opponent the other day and we decided that we had to take the result that was rolled instead of the "lesser" result.

My way of looking at it is that there are a few different things that can happen depending on what out-of-game event happens related to the spell. In this case, one thing isn't a compounding of the first (except, for example, in cases like the Burn / Two Burn effects).

All this having been said, I'm just guessing and letting you know the way we read it when we played. I'm looking forward to a more informed person's answer.

In my case, I'm using Temple of Light, and I would much rather have the stun effect. Temple of Light says you also add X to the effect die roll and many times I skip right over the 9-10 for the stun, to the 11+ range for a daze.

The Temple of Light was worded the way it is so that the chance to stun would not go up with additional temples.

Unfortunately, I figured that was the case. Thanks.
