Weak and multiple attacks
« on: February 17, 2014, 05:47:44 PM »
hiho there

A question about weak in combination with multiple attacks.

The diagramm on page 5 of the "Mage Wars Official Rules And Codex Supplement" shows the rules for modifying the attack dice of the various traits and if all attacks are modified or just the first attack.

A Darkfenne Hydra enchanted with Bear Strength for example will only have its first attack of the Triplestrike modified to 5 attack dice, the other two attacks will be with the unmodified three dice.

What about the condition "Weak" in this regard? Will a Hydra with 2 Weak counters on it only have its first attack modified to just one die to roll, or will all three attacks of the Triplestrike be affected?

Thanks.

All three attacks will be affected.

It affects all of the attacks. This is because if you read the codex entry for weak it does not say it gives the melee -1 trait (or ranged -1) which would indicate only the first attack is affected. Instead it specifically says all non-spell attacks are reduced by 1 die.

Agony has similar wording and also affects all attacks made.

ACG and Zuberi are correct
