Title: damage on incorporeal creatures
Post by: BigYogi on February 11, 2013, 02:19:52 PM

hi all,

just a short question: how is damage handled that is dealt to incorporeal creatures?
in the rulebook under incorporeal (p. 42) i find this:

Quote

Incorporeal
An insubstantial or amorphous object that is very resistant to damage.
All attack dice rolled to damage this object, from any source, only count
the “1’s” on the dice (ignore all 2’s), unless the attack has the Ethereal
trait. Cannot receive effects or conditions from attacks that are not
Ethereal. All Incorporeal objects also have the Nonliving, Burnproof, and
Uncontainable traits. Incorporeal objects do not have an Armor attribute,
and cannot gain armor. See “Incorporeal” on page 19.

i assumed, that only the "1" on the dice are counted, regardless if critical or "normal" "1".
now i found this video:

 Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eKT-yK4dKUo)

and there it is explained, that only the "normal 1" is counted, not the critical "1".
which version is correct?

Good point.

I think the video is wrong.
Follow the rulebook, ignore all "2's".
Only the "1's" count.

Only the “1” results are counted to determine the amount of damage done.


 The audio in the video is correct the animation is not.


I hope that helps
