Rules Update: Master Warrior

Based off the trait system you could deflect and as such repel with a bow in hand as they are weapons. That being said obviously someone should never attempt to block an attack with their bow for real.

So this old ruling is no longer correct in regards to using coreless weapons with melee/weapon-based tag defenses?

Based off the current written rule yes that is out dated. If Jon or James feels this isn't valid we'll likely update the rule to include a melee descriptor somewhere.

Is there a maximum to the damage that can be dealt by Devastating Blow?  If not, it would be possible (for Skorpor) to deal more damage with Devastating Blow than Slay.

Skorpor isn't getting DS, so no worries there. But that being said there is no cap and this is intended. Overall 2 handed weapons are left behind to favor sword and board and master florentine so we wanted to give them a very powerful skill to encourage more 2H use.

I don't think I've ever actually had to know this, but...

Slay is a hand-specific skill, but it has a cap. Are you allowed:

A.: Only the maximum given in the skill (3) and they must all be on one hand?
B.: Only the maximum given in the skill but they may be on either hand, as long as you can wield an appropriate weapon in your off-hand?
C.: Additional purchases of the skill (for a total of 3 RH and 3 LH slays)?

B.

Please note that nothing about the function of Slay has changed.
If the wording has changed, it is simply stating the same intent in a different way.
