I was just playing solo as a test run for my campaign next week, and hit a question which may have been asked before (sorry, I searched and couldn't find anything): If you earn +1 momentum on a weak hit for a certain move, but burn your current momentum to make it strong hit, do you gain the new momentum post-reset, or is it burned along with your current? I guess the real question is if earned momentum is always applied post-move...
If you accept the weak hit you can't use the just gained momentum to turn it into a strong hit, as you already established it was a weak hit.
ReplyDeleteIf you burned momentum to make it a strong hit, the Strong Hit benefits would apply after momentum burning.
Eduardo H Schaeffer Sorry, I might need to clarify: When do you actually add new momentum, is it always after the resolution of the move, including burn&reset? I used the example of weak to show me earning new, and the upgrade to strong to show me burning old, but I wasn't sure where the new momentum landed, chronologically.
ReplyDeleteYep, apply the momentum reward after you burn momentum.
ReplyDeleteShawn Tomkin Thanks! Everything else went really well. No prep, ended up escaping from a hunter's snare before tracking a pack of them to where they were drugging a wild gaunt, just stealth-killed the leader to send a message and I'm trying to plan my next move around using my momentum because I'm greatly outnumbered and I want the gaunt to get away before the poison drops it. Yay!
ReplyDeleteThanks to you and Eduardo H Schaeffer, I now know that momentum earned in a move can never be burned on the same move. I guess I was lost in the idea of the burn sitting in a limbo between what you rolled naturally and your final result. Derp.
Sounds like an awesome start, Matt Horam . Let me know how things go with your group.
