Glittering Robes cast on Corsairs - cumulative or replace

Post by Warpez »

If you cast the Lore of Metal spell Glittering Robes (grants 5+ scaly skin) on Corsairs, do you have:

  • a 5+ scaly skin (it replaces the Corsairs 5+ scaly skin)
  • a 3+ scaly skin (it it cumulative with the existing save)

Which FAQ are you referring to? I looked there first. There isn't a Dark Elf 8th edition FAQ correct? So you must be referring to the BRB FAQ. I could not find this ruling in there. Where is it?

I was curious about this as well, the best I saw was on page 66, where it states something like unless otherwise noted special rules are cumulative, the entry for scaly skin doesn't clearly address this from what I remember.

Most people I've brought it up with feel that you just get a 5+ scaly skin and that glittering robe on corsairs has no effect.

EDIT: Actually, BRB faq rescinds cumulative special rules text,
see here
first page last column.

Agreed. Thanks for helping me find the BRB ruling. It is clear the Corsairs do not get a cumulative save. If Glittering Robes is cast on them they have a 5+ scaly skin still
