Hi ppl,

Just wandered what berserker rage card do on 2 boons?Its 1 strength and 1 toughness for skill checks.Does that mean it gives you only blue dice and not dmg from strength and blue dice for toughness checks and not reduction?Its not logical at all for me that it works that way,kinda strange that you get 1 dice but dont get dmg,than its not complete stat.

Or maybe i missunderstood?

Hi Leon,

You are correct. The point of this card is to boost your damage (by depth in reckless stance) and reduce your defense. If your strength went up for damage, and your toughness increased your soak - there wouldn't really be as much of a penalty to using it. Moreover, the penalty for using reckless dice and a reckless stance is faster fatigue. If your toughness was higher, you'd be able to shrug that off as well.

SO! Attacks? +1 die. Damage? +reckless stance damage (pretty sweet!) Resilience Checks? Definitely have that toughness there. As a matter of fact if you have a deep reckless meter (say 4 meter, and 3 base strength) you can get an extra red die out of it.

But same stress limits, encumbrance limits, and base damage overall. Means you can't shrug off the penalties from those quite as easily.

Hope that explains a bit.

Small correction. Regardless of how many spaces are in your stance meter, you cannot convert more Characteristic dice into Stance dice than you have Characteristic dice to convert. So, even if you have a stance meter with 4 reckless spaces, if you only a 3 strength, you will roll 3 Reckless 10-siders (and no blue 8-siders).

But if the card bumps your strength by 1 then it would convert that die also based on your stance.

Thank you,Shinma.

That explains abit yea.

And Kryyst you mean if you have for example 4 str and atm you are 1 in reckless and you roll 2 boons you become 5 str and 2 in reckless automatically?

Yes that's correct.
