I noticed most Norse units no longer uses the outdated Switch rule in their weapons, but they still exist in Filungi and Holumann.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see now why you would need those. Though the Holumann's options still make me question them. Sword is switch (Axe), Axe is switch (Shield). So if I use the sword I can still use the shield as well, but what if I use the axe, can I still use the sword? Shouldn't the Axe be switch (Sword)?

EDIT2: Also Hirdmen and Bondmen seem to be missing, is this on purpose?

Yes it should! Good spot. The Axe / Sword should both switch with each other, leaving the other hand for the shield.

Yes, they're not for public consumption - they shouldn't have been on the last muster. They're still in playtest, basically!

Jute Muster v1.16,
With Thain has Influence (Wihtsweord) but Wihtsweord units are already Common ubiquity. Is there something else going on that I'm missing?

Yes, that means he can take two of them to be the command Mainstay unit. See 1·1·4·2·3 - COMMON on p6 of the Muster Rules.

"Lightbulb!"

And suddenly every question I'd been having about the major change in ubiquity and muster lists just clicked into place! I feel a little foolish that it's taken this long for me to get that. Life is good! Thanks Rob

Death-Brute can compel/Influence the following on this profile - Compel (Drune-Brute, Brute, Brute Corruptor); Influence (Brute-Beast)

but the leader of brutes states the following - If a Death-Brute is mustered as a commander, only Drune-Brutes, Brutes, Brute-Beasts or Hulks may be taken in his command. One Death-Drune unit, one Brute unit, one Brute-Beast unit
or one Hulk may count their AUTHORITY as 0 if they are mustered within a Death-Brute's command

So the question is regarding Brute Corruptors, can they be taken or not, compel/influence says yes, leader of brutes says no

many thanks

Does that also mean they can be included as one unit that has its authority reduced to zero?

On the Fomoraic Spells of Ice list it has Ice Shards stated as a Focus spell, but then goes on to list a ranges for the spell, surely this should be a Sighted Spell rather than a Focus spell..

Just a quick one Rob, the Beast of Danu has influence Fen Beasts but doesn't have the authority to take two units of Fen Beasts. As it stands the Beast of Danu has Authority 46 where as two units of Fen Beasts are 52. I am aware there was a general down grading of authority for the majority of spell casters, however was this one an accidental oversight or is this as intended?

Thank you.

Are there any changes planned for Stratekolossos now that the new Mesokolossos infantry starter has been released? Stratekolossos doesn't have enough authority to take command of both the mesokolossos and the bull of bronze.

Well that's weird, I answered that the other day. How odd. Simply put, the Beast of Danu shouldn't be able to Influence anything - I will remove that.

The Stratekolossos now has this rule:

Controller of Automata: If a Stratekolossos is mustered as a commander, a Compelled unit of Mesokolossos in his command has an AUTHORITY of 0.

So basically if Tekhnomantis uses his ring to force an activation on them, they'll automatically fail the force test? So better not force compelled mesokolossi...

I’d hazard a guess they only are 0 authority for muster purposes you’d still make the roll against normal authority. Also a 0 isn’t a auto fail, you can roll a 0 on a D100 roll ;) only auto fail for tests is 99

Infernii - Servile Fiend of Dis - there isn't a combat weapon entry for the 1 handed axe of Dis for the shieldwall variant
Byzantii - Signifier - cant form a command (I know they can go in the Host command, is this their only intention?)
Byzantii - demimagus - cant form a command (also assuming this is to stop wizard spam)
Byzantii - Auxilia Bestiarius - Parma doesn't have a switch option, currently the profile is a whip in one hand, with the option of a sword or dagger in the other, but no indication what hand can use the parma

Yes. They are Signifers, not leaders...

Well Switch is basically meant to ensure that certain weapons/armour can't be used together; generally speaking, look at Hands rather than me having to explain what hand can have what. Does that make sense?

Currently working on the musters for the latest updates.

Some interesting changes for you all include most two-weapon options getting the Quick Strike rule and the addition of Strength to the profiles.

Well the last lot was last quarter ;)

Rob may be working on them but doesn't mean they'll appear straight away, no doubt playtesting will need to happen to make sure these changes are not going to knock the game off balance.

Apologies, but I have promised in the past they'll be done every quarter, and we're now at the end of the second quarter of the year... the first quarter's update was late you see, it was at the start of May. Sorry dude!

Quick question...

If Quick Strike causes 8s and 9s to be treated as Swift Strikes and generate the additional damage dice... do they also cause damage effects such as fire or cold on 8s and 9s?

No, because effect damage occurs with vicious wounds. I am also adding in vicious wound rules to certain things though, please note ;o)

Another change will be the addition of impact strikes to stuff that runs in and chins you - Gabrax, Tarvax, Chimera horn butt, etc.! Remember that impact strikes are separate to normal strikes and wounds are taken off immediately, and subsequent parries use their new C+A...

Quick question...

If Quick Strike causes 8s and 9s to be treated as Swift Strikes and generate the additional damage dice... do they also cause damage effects such as fire or cold on 8s and 9s?


No, quick strike generates extra hits to be parried on 8 and 9's not extra damage so would not generate those types of effects.

Ah, I must confess I did only lightly skim read the rule and I have slept since that time.
The effects are generated at the damage stage? So after the strikes have been generated and parried. Meaning they still occur on 9s only.
That sound about right?

That's right James. You'll get vicious wounds (i.e., effect damage on 8 or 9) on some monsters with the next muster update ;o)

Will this incur a cost increase or is it a general desire to give monsters a little boost?

While we're here and discussing effects, I can't for the life of me find anything in the current musters that uses corrosion damage... I don't suppose you could point me at something that does?

If not it's no worry, I was just reading through and came to the conclusion that corrosion is quite powerful, destroying a piece of equipment in addition to causing 1d10 damage and wanted to see what used it.
