Leviticus channeling before charging

[schlampe03]

I have a rules question about Leveticus's channeling rule and him charging. If he uses this ability to suffer 2 damage and get positive flips to all duels and the damage flips, doe he get that to both melee actions? With how it is phrased, I would assume yes.

No, he doesn't. It's like Focus in that regard. (s. FAQ)

[zFiend]

Guildie is correct.

[schlampe03]

The only thing is that it is worded differently than focus. In the rule it says to "to gain +flip to all duels and damage flips for the remainder of the Action;" And in Focus it says "gain a number of +flips to the Action's duel and damage flip"

[zFiend]

Charge is an action that births two attacks. That first attack is the action you get the to all duels and damage flips. Then 2nd attack isn't affected anymore.

[Dirial]

I agree that this could be worded clearer, but I believe that this is the intent: The point is that Charge doesn't have any inherent duel and damage flips. If Levi channels Charge, he would only get to resulting duels, like Manipulative, Terrifying, Challenge etc. If he wants to get the bonus for the resulting attacks, he'd have to channel those.

 

That the Charge isn't resolved until both attacks are resolved as well, makes this a little muddy. I'd play it like I said until I see an FAQ, as this is congruent with Focus, and fits the (assumed) intent, as it's usually the way this game does these things.

Makes sense thanks

Well I played that wrong. I thought if you used channel on the charge it would help for maybe a terrifying check and nothing else then you channel for each individual attack.

I think Zfiend was wrong, if you channel the charge, then it is only the charge action you would get the bonus flips to, soTerrifying, manipulative etc. It won't help with eitehr attack. e

What specific rule gives you this view?

[Adran]

I'll grant you that I was basing my interpritation on the view that it should be like Focus. If it isn't, then it would give the bonus to both attacks. However it is, I'm petty sure no interpritation could get it doing 1 attack but not the second.
