I've been working my way through the backer manuscript and I'm kinda puzzled about some of the mechanics for Stunts.

Most of them are pretty clear examples of things to tack on to existing rolls. IE: Buy off your difficulty then spend remaining successes for nifty scene long buffs. But there's two kinds of things that have me a bit confused.

First up is things like Archetype specific damage boosters, such as the Everyman's Aim for the Outfield. It's a 2 success stunt for a two damage boost with athletic equipment, but the wording reads like it's only for the single action....

It's not perfect, but this is another thing kind of covered in Miracles. "Talking is a free action" to me is more Wesley vs Inigo. A pleasant conversation while trying to kill each other. Proper social actions (instill/persuade/etc) require a flurry. In the case of Darth Vader vs Luke, Vader is clearly squinting with both social and physical attacks, and the charm Poised Lion Attitude allows you to take full social actions as a free action rather than a flurry for 3m....

Personally I'm 100% on the "3rd edition best edition" bandwagon, though an absence of actual mechanics for Abyssals yet would prove difficult.

Wavecleaver Daiklaives didn't make the jump to 3E unlike some of the other daiklaive variants. How would you think one should be statted?

(My personal thought is a taking the short daiklaive and swapping Balanced for Chopping.)

Not saying it's necessarily better, but there are plenty of instances in marital arts cinema of the mother being the unstoppable spirit of vengeance/instructor of self-defense badassery. (Fong-Sai Yuk comes to mind)...

Aaaand sheet!

It just came out with the DB backer PDF. I'd be happy to throw the sheet your way if you wanted to take a look.

I recently discovered that I no longer know where things are on the vanilla EX3 sheets anymore when my brother handed me a character and I couldn't figure out why information I'm so used to having wasn't available....

Doing a little thread necromancy here....

The official DB sheet is out! The new border is certainly cool, but IMHO the MrGone sheet is far better functionally...
