Title: Cloak of Shadows Light Trait
Post by: Manipul8or on March 02, 2015, 05:04:36 PM
Hello  :)

I have a question regarding Cloak of Shadows. It mentions the Light -2 trait. Does this mean that light damage received is reduced by 2 dice or that light damage done by the mage is reduced by 2 dice? I can not seem to find the light trait in the codex or rules.

Thank you in advance.

It reduces light attacks against the mage by 2 attack dice and gives -2 on the effect die roll. It works the same as Flame -2 except on light attacks instead of fire attacks.

What you are looking for is called Damage Type +/- X in the codex and covers all damage types, including Light, Flame, Hydro, Acid, Poison, Frost, and Lightning. They are all treated the same. As sdougla2 stated, it modifies the number of attack dice and the result of the effect dice on all attacks made against you.
