Word of Pain

Post by toots »

How does this actually work? From the book it sounds like it's D3 from those characteristics stated, rolled separately. Bit hard to keep track of, eh?!

not sure if it is the correct way of doing it but I always do a single D3 from all of them.

The spell says "Roll once for both". I take that to mean "roll once, and apply the result to both characteristics". This is strengthened by the boosted wording: "... that also inflicts the D3 penalty to..."

Singular. Referring to a single D3. In either case, i always just roll one die, like for boosted miasma, and apply that to all penalised stats.

Guess another proof that proof-reading isn't really GW's strong side. I'd agree with the above around here, a single d3 applied to whichever stats is affected. What's to be expected by a company based in the UK anyway :D

@Lhel: Really? a necroed thread where you just agree with what the others have already said? Hmm. No.

Oh behave. Three weeks is hardly a necropost, especially when you're not online often.
