Page 22, on Alfilia Shadowleaf. She has the Double Slash Heroic Ability but she is armed with a Morningstar, which means she can't use it for that ability.

page 27: Um-Durman.

The legendary sword breaks the core mechanic of banes/demon(edit) = bad.

I know its sorta late game / endgame item. But IMO it set a iffy precedence for whats to come/whats allowed.
is that intended?

anyone else have thoughts on this?

I mean it only works speciffically against demons and dragons (monsters the game makes a point that they are rare, if not mythical creatures) so it's not like your going to crit everything coming your way (stab a troll or a bandit and it's just a sword) Plus as said it is an end game item, one that the campaign is revolved around, so i think it should have a sweet effect. (If it is just "deal 1d6 extra damage/roll with a boon when attacking it don't feel as sweet)

I can agree that having a list of magical items of different rarity and what they can do could be useful so the gm has an idea what a "common" magical item should be compared to a legendary artifact.

ohh snap, never-mind i read it wrong.
Swords hitting a demon or dragon, got that as when using this to attack both a 1(dragon) and 20(demon) counts as a 1(dragon)

EDIT: to be fair, it references "enchant weapon" spell which increase the "critical" range of weapons, making 2 to 4 dragon rolls, so this could be worded better.

page 26: 10: The crypt of Um-Durman.

Magical trap:
says it cast lighting bolt at power level 2 (4 willpower points)
will continue til the trap is out of charge (10 willpower) so it will casts twice then sit idle with 2 willpower remaining?
shouldn't the charge be either 8 (2 casts) or 12 (3 casts).

Also instead of willpower charge and power level, wouldn't it be simpler just to state how many casts it has?
