Is this move too “meta” to be clearly understood?

1. I think so

2. 1) no but it only clicked for me when I went and looked at some examples. So have some of those….

   2) I assume this is a conpendium class?

   If so not very many of the characters who take it will have H&S moves.

   partially because they’re clearly archery focused but also because there are very few H&S moves

   It’s actually for an alteration (I guess the term used around here is “hack”) for the fighter base class I’m making.  Many of the moves in my “hack” rely explicitly on hack&slash.  Like, I changed Merciless, instead of being +1d4 damage, to:

   When you hack & slash against a foe for whom you feel no pity deal +1d4 damage.

   And my Scent of Blood is now:

   When you deal damage to an enemy, take +1 to your next Hack & Slash against them.

   So, the point of the Archer ability would be to allow these moves and bonuses to apply to Volley as well.

   You’re probably right; it’s better to just write out which moves can be used with Volley once the Archer ability is taken.

5. what do you intent to use this with?

6. Tim Franzke

   See previous response to Daniel.

7. why don’t you key them to the next attack? 

8. Tim Franzke

   Because I think it’s too powerful to give those bonuses to both Hack & Slash and Volley without the investment of an additional move.

9. Maybe word it “Any advanced move that benefits Hack&Slash can also be applied to Volley” or something like that.
