Call Missile Usage

Postby Flowswithdrek » Sun May 15, 2016 5:05 pm

The interpretation of following line from the Call Missile talent caused a bit of discussion at our gaming table tonight, and we are now wondering what way it was intended?

"The talent will extract missiles or thrown weapons from targets’ bodies"

When I first read it, I just assumed a dead body, otherwise the word "targets" would have sufficed. Others read it as a meaning live or dead body. To keep the combat flowing I ruled live body until I had time to think about it. Am I incorrectly inferring it to mean a dead body?

How was it intended to be used. How do others interpret it? Just curious.

There isn't intended to be a difference. Living target, dead body, or a missed shot lodged in the ground... all will come back.

Arrows coming out of a living target do not cause additional damage.
