Arcanis_FAQ_&_Eratta_v4.3!!!!!!!!

What about if you get AP: deity twice? It’s not light/medium/heavy but it’s not really a specific armor either. For instance, Divine / Initiate to the Divine Trinity would give you all chain armors twice. The one that does work is human unarmored deity (since Masterful Defense is tiered).

AP: Deity (Masterful Defence) would stack up, as its a Tiered talent (as noted, its inactive until you reach the higher Tier.)

One of the few times the Archetype/Background/Path isn’t wasted when Divine.

Well my primary is a divine archetype and so far I’m happy with what I have and get no complaints at the table when I’m dishing out healing, castigating the unrighteous and laying the smack down on the undead. But I went into this with the intention of making Haakon the best divine caster I could and so far it seems to be working.

is the passive resolve damage given during the duration of an entire spell (for example flaying darkness duration scene) or only one attack made with flaying darkness?

Its part of the spell, so every 6 ticks when the damage from Flaying Darkness (sp) is applied, you gain pRe to that damage roll.

Blessed Devotions is not an Adaptation, as applying the bonus does not alter the Speed, Strain, or CTN of the spell. The talent says it can be applied LIKE Adaptations, but it is not an Adaptation as it doesn’t have the Adaptation notation in it. It is a simple Once per Scene (in the case of Potency) static Talent bonus.

As to how long it works, Blessed Devotions: Devotion of Potency is a Once Per Scene ability, so you cannot gain the benefits of its bonus more than once per scene.

Yhing Hir Horse Lord Path (pg. 300 of the main rule book) and possible contradiction/redundancy.

Pardon if this has already been addressed previously, as I did not find any relevant info regarding this subject during my search or in the Errata.

The path has the requirements of having the Talents: Born in the Saddle and Loyal Companion. The Path then grants you the Talents: Loyal Companion (which stacks as it is a tiered Talent) and Animal Affinity.

Here is where I see the contradiction/redundancy: Animal Affinity is not a tiered Talent. Additionally, it is a prerequisite for the Talent: Loyal Companion (which is a prerequisite to access this Path). By the time one gains access to this Path, they will have obtained Animal Affinity twice (once for meeting the prerequisite of Loyal Companion, and a second time for gaining this Path) at which point does nothing. Was this redundancy done deliberately or did this slip through the cracks?

I believe it has been raised before a long time ago on the old forums. IIRC no modification or errata was offered. I believe (IIRC) that there was some speculation that you could potentially get the loyal Companion w/o taking animal affinity. You are correct that there is nothing in the errata (at least as far as I can tell…)

I may have missed this, if it has been discussed before, but it seems to me there should be an errata for the Initiate to the Divine Trinity/Death Monger background that indicates it has the special that makes divine spell casting no longer a limited talent for the character, similar to the initiate of the gods background. Right now the only way for a death monger to have divine spell casting is to have the divine archetype. I see nothing in the text indicating this is intentional, but I could be wrong.

I may be wrong but I think there was a discussion when Blessed Lands first came out that it was intentional that Death Monger background does not grant Divine Spell Casting.
