Re: Rules Questions
good question. I'd like to know the official answer to that too.
I've been playing that you keep the xp for only the monster you directly kill, but they all drop treasure.

Re: Rules Questions
Nevermind. I was referred to it here.
Turns out no exp is awarded for either the exploding monster or the monsters it slay in the process.
A little embarrassing I missed that since I have that sheet at home. I guess I glazed over it. Ah well.

Re: Rules Questions
OK, you don't get the xp, but what about the loot?

Re: Rules Questions
Yes, the loot drops as normal.

Re: Rules Questions
Do boosted shticks count twice? For example, if you have 2 sneak attacks, do you get the plus 2 attack and plus 1 defense from one, or do you get it from both, for 4 and 2?

Re: Rules Questions
Can you use a screw this card which says can be played at any time to boost a schtick that was flipped earlier that same turn? Specifically, playing Get Angry to remove the wound from Halfing Rage?

Re: Rules Questions
Hi all, I'm sorry if this has been asked or is self evident. If a card has a boost ability say foe loses +1 wound if they are a player, then does this boost apply even if the player playing it loses or draws or do they have to win the battle to have the boost applied? Thank you for any help.

Re: Rules Questions
They have to win in order for the extra wound boost to be in effect. I'm not certain if that situation is explicitly addressed, but since you only inflict wounds if you win, I think it's a logical conclusion.

Re: Rules Questions
this is not a rule question, merely a flavor text question, but this still seems the right place for it.
In the "goblin pride day" card, the goblin is uttering the slogan "we're mean, we're green, and we must be seen". every time i see the card, i feel that it must be a twist on a real, real-world slogan, except i have no idea what such a slogan could be. can someone enlighten me?In memory of Evisceratus: he dreamed of a better world, but he lacked the class levels to make the dream come true.

Re: Rules Questions
I was wondering: is the Seldom-Used Quarterstaff supposed to have a -2 to attack? Doesn't that make it useless?

Re: Rules Questions
It is use-impaired, not useless.
It is intended to be a backup for V since most other combat shticks are flipped after use. Since you can't win a battle without a shtick (a winning roll only gets you a draw), the quarterstaff lets you have a chance of defeating the enemy, but at a penalty.

Rules Questions
Hello all,
I have two questions :
1° What really happens when a Chronicler fails his Inspire roll for helping another character?
2° It is written in rules that a Heal roll can me made for healing a broken Character, making recovering a number of attribute points equal to the number of succes rolled. But can this Heal skill also be used for healing a non-broken Character? Can we Heal someone before he is broken?
Thank you in advance for your answers.SW fan

Re: Rules Questions
Just to clarify, this thread is for Rules Questions about the Order of the Stick Adventure Game. There are (to my knowledge) no Chroniclers in this game, and the only attributes characters can lose are wounds. Are you in the right forum? You probably want the Roleplaying forum, and probably the D&D 3.x, D&D 4e, or D&D 5e sub-forum (as appropriate).

Re: Rules Questions
If Belkar has only one copy of Halfling Rage, can he flip it for the bonus, then use a Screw This! card to unflip it (A Good Laugh would work), then unflip it again all in the same battle, for a total of +6 to Attack or Defense? Thanks.

Re: Rules Questions
Hello there.
I apologize in advance if there are answers to my following questions hidden somewhere into this thread, but reading all pages would be unapproachably time-consuming to me. I'm also referring to the Deluxe edition of the game.
1) Is Elan's Poorely-planned illusion intended to be so OP? Granted I happened to be very lucky when playing as Elan, since I managed to get all three copies of them during the early game AND the shticks that also lets you wound an enemy instead of moving it (can't remember the name right now), it seemed a little too much: counting boosts from other Elan's cards and loots, PPI had a base defense/offense value of 14-16! In comparison V's Fireball, whilst killing a lot of enemies in one go, never reaches such high grounds (it caps at an attack value of 5, if I'm not mistaken).
Were we playing it wrong? Was the boost nerfed? Do generic boosts to attack and defence (Dorukan's necklace, Bard song cards flipped through Lute, and the like) not apply, do monsters get to throw a die? It's a lot to unpack, I know, but PPI left me and my friends that much baffled.
2) We also noticed that some shticks, while having boost options, come in only one copy (Belkar' Sexy shoeless god of war is an example). This makes them virtually un-boostable, doesn't it? Were they meant to be boosted via Screw this! cards only? Or did we lose some?
Thank you for your patience.
