Topic: Shadow Speed

Page: 1 , 2
  • Shadow Speed

    Hi, I'm new here. I'm Reading my very first book: Legion of Shadow (italian edition) so I'm quite a newbie.
    I have a question about the skill "Shadow Speed" since the description is not really clear to me:

    Does it apply to every speed roll during the combat or you can use it only once (so only in one round if you roll one or more 1) ?

    Thanx for the answers

    Hello and welcome to DQ!

    Yeah, that ability should be classified as a passive and not a modifier. So, it applies to ALL rolls of [1] for your hero's speed throughout the combat.

    What a great news ! Thank you for the explanation.

  • Re: Shadow Speed

    Thanx for the heads-up, updated both the flowcharts (italian and english).
    Soon, you'll see available on Librogame's Land (the italian community of gamebooks) a lot of bonus content for The Legion of Shadow!

    This is a HUGE change!

    In the errata thread, it was first upgraded from (sp) to (mo). An additional upgrade from (mo) to (pa) is an even bigger deal!

    The current online ability glossary still has it as (mo).

    Is there another patch notes thread where this change should be documented? I don't see anything in the current threads (errata, v3.0, Italian pt 1, and Italian pt 2) (yet) about this second upgrade.

    Also, it might be useful to note in the errata thread that the ability text should be updated in both section 586 and the back-of-the-book glossary. I have added all the changes to my edition via post-it notes, but missed applying the section 586 update since I didn't realize it was a career ability (and therefore appeared in the text as well as the glossary).

    It's one of those small things I forgot to update across the board, and to be fair it's not 'massive' really. I just changed the classification to bring it in line with Raiders of Dune Sea and Wrath of Ragnarok, where abilities were streamlined more into their respective categories.

    Really, there is no example I can think of where having a [1] is preferable, so you would be using it each time anyway. Whether you want to think of it as something automatic [pa] or something you are choosing to do [mo] is up to you.
