Title: Sacrificial Altar
Post by: MW United on July 17, 2015, 11:45:42 AM
Hey folks

Short and sweet.

Can the mage make use of the benefits provided by the altar for killing a creature?

Yes.

Awesome

Also would the bonus effects apply for both attacks with battle fury?

No. The altar says, their next melee attack. Generally when something says that they mean their next strike, not necessarily their next whole attack action. I think this is in the Rules Supplement, I think.

Yes and no. Your mage would have the melee +X and piercing +X traits until the end of the round, but Battle Fury does not benefit from melee +X since the errata. You only get to use melee +X on the first attack of an action for which it is relevant, and Battle Fury now counts as part of the same action. You get the piercing for all of the attacks though. In addition, you could make use of the melee +X again if you were attacked and you used Retaliate to counterstrike.

I shouldn't have relied on my sleep deprived memory, lol. Thanks for pointing that out.
