If Arcane a strike is only about adding extra damage from elemental bolt or whatever then IMO it's just not that hot when compared to other options. You pick up strain and recovery. If some control spells are allowed but not others then we are adding complexity and potentially rejiggering the line as we find different synergies with other talents. |

I'm curious what traditions you're thinking since it's available to several casting types, the traditions need to be balanced out. If you plan on limiting it to damage spells or removing traditions like illusion that provide nice added effects then you'd need to remove the no Primary Die restriction and the whole elemental AR applies to the whole damag amount I think. Is it really a problem of Arcane Strike or is this a Sweeping Strike problem? John |

Please provide examples of why the fighting style is overpowers compared to any others, before just blanket statements are made. John |

People are entitled to have an opinion. I think the fighting style is overpowered also. and I think instead of limiting traditions, it should be limited to spells that affect avoidance and fortitude and not allow spells that affect discipline. there are already precidents in the system about those two type of attacks |

It's great to have an opinion, but generally those are also supported by some actual evidence. It's perfectly fine to say something is overpowered, but why? It's hard to discuss or debate otherwise. |

There are already martial maneuvers that target Discipline, so I'd say that is good precedent that weapon attacks can affect your opponent's mental state as well. John |

Quote: Any spells that attack Avoidance or Fortitude use the Prowess attribute unless otherwise indicated. Any spells that attack a Target’s Discipline always use the Arcanum skill’s Primary Attribute. ARPG 348 |

Any spells that attack a Target’s Discipline always use the Arcanum skill’s Primary Attribute. ARPG 348 I'm not sure how this supports "No discipline attacks with Arcane Strike"? Could you elaborate? As I've pointed out, there are already weapon maneuvers that can target Discipline (using Prowess), so I'm not sure how channeling a spell as a maneuver would be any different. Perhaps Arcane Strike should use the character's Primary Casting Attribute for Discipline spells? John |
