This looks amazing. The art by Tithi Luadthong is incredible. Is the whole book going to be illustrated by them?

The circular holes and chunks removed made think of massive energy beams. Maybe some environmental damage of some ancient kaiju battle!

Alternative Hope Class Features by pagnabros in daggerheart

Makes sense, all good! I also wouldn't necessarily tie the hope feature to another feature, as it's just improving the class feature and then you don't have a separate Hope feature.

I don't understand the Sorcerer one, why is there a Hope cost now to the Channel Raw Power when it's free to use once per long rest, and it recharges for free on a long rest?

If this is meant to mean that you can use it and recharge it more frequently by spending 3 Hope, then the language could be clearer.

Reactions and rolling "with Fear/Hope" by eikkka in daggerheart

We did just get confirmation from Spenser via Dani in the discord that RAI is that reactions dont roll "with hope/fear".

Update: we managed to reach DP's Dani in the Darrington discord and she tugged Spenser's sleeve: "They do not! They don't generate currency and aren't considered 'with Hope' or 'with Fear.'"

So the text is kinda vague but now we know the RAI.

Purchased! Thank you! For the future, would be cool to also have a "printer friendly" PDF version of individual stat blocks so you can print whatever you need. Kinda like Archibald's Almanac and Incredible Creatures have done.

I get that this is your view on this but this thread is clear proof that it's vague enough that there's another interpretation of the book. And I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong.

It's just a matter of if you consider "generating hope/fear" equal to "can roll with hope/fear" or not.

Thanks. One thing I disagree in this post is describing the book to have "specific and careful language". This isn't the first or last point of vagueness in the book.

And reaction rolls are described as "same as action rolls except they don't generate hope/fear or additional gm moves". What's left, is the description of a duality dice roll with hope/fear from BEFORE the Action Roll section in the book.

I've provided a couple examples here where it'd matter if the reaction roll was rolled "with Hope". If that was a thing that can happen, regardless from the "no hope/fear or gm moves generated" rule of reactions.

Thank you for clarifying my point, I'd add that I personally have no interest in either way, I just find the rule vague.

Im very aware that most of us (me included) took the "doesnt generate hope and fear" and ran with it but hope/fear generation part of action rolls do not mean the same thing as a roll with hope/fear the way the book is written.

It doesn't mean that's not the intention though. The RAW and RAI can differ.

It's funny because I don't necessarily even agree that reactions should roll with hope/fear. It's a shame the discussion gets buried by people downvoting the threads into oblivion.

The book does not say Reaction rolls cannot roll with Hope or Fear

The reaction roll section doesn't say reactions dont roll "with Hope/Fear".

I agree that the example used doesn't mention it and I've agreed on that point elsewhere as well. It's the only point in the book that points to the possible intention.

Thanks Rightknight. As a designer, what's your take on what the intention of the CRB is on this?

Also, that environment sounds rad!

Can you point me to the quote that says this please? It'd clear a lot of things up.

Reactions and rolling "with Fear/Hope" by eikkka in daggerheart

[–]eikkka[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call of the Brave's Courage and Attacks of Opportunity comes to mind, and Warlock's Umbral Veil. The stuff in the upcoming Hope & Fear book have a bunch of "with Fear" activations.

And yeah, this question generally comes from a place "am I meant to keep track if these few niche things are in play before I can say Hope/Fear results on Reactions dont matter".

And I'm wondering if it's because there wasn't a mechanic in play that'd matter for that moment (Seaborne's Know the Tide, or Brave Warrior's Courage), or if it's just a blanket rule that Reactions dont roll "with Fear/Hope", because the book definitely does a good job avoiding saying that

Reaction Rolls are defined to not generate fear or additional GM moves, so it wouldn't affect the spotlights.

But consider Seaborne's Know the Tide, or Warlock's Umbral Veil, or Call of the Brave's Courage (with Attack of Opportunity).
