Re: Initiative talk
I cannot see why you would not roll as a player. Each dice you use has the potential to explode, making you go faster than your enemies. If anything NPCs should simply take their step and be done with it. When I run a game all my NPCs use the same roll simply to speed things up. ... The Shadowrun in...

Re: [Curiosity] Earthdawn in Japan
I'm so happy the T'Skrang were not designed like that from the beginning.

Re: Key Knowledges
As you quote the Thread's Rank, not your Thread Weaving talent rank. You find an item, discover usually via Research its key knowledge, pay the legend points equal to 100 for Rank 1 (price is equal to Novice grade talents) and then roll a Thread Weaving check of a difficulty of 8.

Resisting AoE, why can one protect all?
One of the few things I disagree with when using the ED4 ruleset is the rule that AoE spells are compared against the highest defense rating only, instead of against each target individually.

Re: Wizard Flame Flash - duration
Your initial assumption is correct. Target takes damage twice, first time on the round it's hit and again on the following round.
