Agony and multiattackers (Doublestrike+)
« on: February 05, 2013, 01:18:26 PM »
How does this work? RAW it appears that all three attacks of a hydra will have 2 less dice. Is this appropriate?

Thanks,
Rot

That is infact how it works.

if Agony said "Gains Melee -2" then the creature would only suffer the penalty on his first attack as per the criteria of the Melee +/- rule definition.

But, Agony reads "whenever it makes a non spell attack" and so is open to every attack made.  

Agony can also be read as "Hyrda Muzzle"

Yeah, agony is a staple card against the forcemaster.

So long 8 dice for a double strike. Now you get only 4.
