Arterial Strike

Post by Atraos » Mon Nov 12, 2012 3:29 pm

Hey

Helpfile for Arterial Strike:-

Arterial Strike Feat
====================
Syntax: Automatic

Prerequisites: Thief class, Apprentice in Backstab skill and 14 Dexterity

The thief has extensive knowledge in anatomy. When attacking from advantage
the thief is able to target their strikes to maximum effectiveness and cause
excessive bleeding from the wound.

* Whether or not you employ this feat when the opportunity arises is set by a
'combatmode' setting. If you do employ the feat, you give up some immediate
sneak attack damage for the possibility of producing a bleeding wound, which
slowly but steadily saps the victim of life.

I meet the requirements yet it still states I am inexperienced?? Is there a hidden requirement?

Thanks

The letters making the name of your character need to be converted to their ASCII numeric values, then added together. If the result is a prime number, then you can learn the feat, otherwise not.

I hope this is a joke.

No, Mask was entirely serious. We have a strong focus on math skills.


Really, the missing requirement from the help file was the level requirement (20); the help file has been updated though. Thanks for pointing out the issue, Atraos.

Correct, I updated that also.
