quarterstaves are eratted in to trip

The Quarterstaff was already listed as a weapon capable of tripping before the errata (Under the Trip Simple Maneuver).

My point is that weapons designed to trip opponents can’t do as good of a job at tripping as a shield. They require a separate Talent (Trip Foe) which does 0 Damage, is Advanced, and does nothing besides knock the opponent prone. I had heard early on by the PCI folks (and players) that tripping was toned back in Arcanis because of the 3.5 troubles with it. However, looking at certain Tricks and Spells, this doesn’t seem to be the case.

I’d just feel that the weapons designed to trip (and disarm to a lesser degree) should actually be good at it when you take a maneuver to do so.

When someone is stunned such as through a use of Stunning Strike, how long is the target in that state and granting tactical advantage? Is it to the target’s next action?

Thanks.

With a sweep of his…

If I recall Pedro’s ruling from the old boards, it is for as long as the Recovery lasts.

Shield Slam is listed as a T.3 Weapon Trick for the Tower Shield, but is not listed as a weapon in the trick itself on pg.264

Pretty sure I brought this up on the old board and the official response was that tower shield is not supposed to be a weapon (buckler, small shield, and large shield are).

right thats a fighting style they intentionall “break” rules

Welcome Pedro Could you maybe take a look at (and answer) some questions on Page 2 of this thread? Thank you

Summarizing:

1) When you combine Flowing Sand (martial maneuver) with another Base Maneuver, does it allow you to make a maneuver attack against each foe instead of a basic attack? If not, how does Flowing Sand combine with other base maneuvers?

If so, how does it combine with TWF maneuvers (like Spinning Strikes and Trap and Cut)

2) When someone is stunned such as through a use of Stunning Strike, how long is the target in that state and granting tactical advantage? Is it to the target’s next action?

I think those were intended be the same Attribute Die, only one can explode. Since your (Primary) will always be the same.

Yes & Yes.. you may make your maneuver attack against each target… for example in a playtest I had someone to Flowing Sand/Mighty Strike.

If so, how does it combine with TWF maneuvers (like Spinning Strikes and Trap and Cut)

It would add an extra attack at the END of your flowing sand attacks, so the last target in line would get the off hand attack and suffer it’s effects (if any)

2) When someone is stunned such as through a use of Stunning Strike, how long is the target in that state and granting tactical advantage? Is it to the target’s next action?

Yes, until the target’s next action… in essence until they can recuperate from the attack.
