Iconoclast Drudge & Full Auto

[junior cargo]

Does using Full Auto mean you don't pick any Attack Types, or does it mean you pick one and use it for all the attacks?

[opaque grove]

The fact that it says "additional" infers to me that it means that the same type should be used for all d3 attacks; you don't chose one when you make the 2nd and 3rd. The removal of the "additional" would imply none benefit; "basic" POW13 attacks. But it is ambiguous.

[junior cargo]

That's what I thought, but it's the first time I've seen that verbiage, so...

[opaque grove]

The fact there's a POW there at all actually makes me think that none of the attacks benefit might be the intent. But as written at the moment, I wouldn't say that's how I would play it.

[river anchor]

I think the "additional" is due to it being a star action, whereupon you have to give up your initial attacks

[ebon jungle]

Since the POW changes for the two attack types, my money is on the base line stats is used for Full Auto.

[errant silo]

I read it as essentially a templating error

[jovial cobalt]

The rule should just say "Choose one special rule and apply it to all d3 attacks".

[errant silo]

unless its intending is to utilize the base stat line without either special rule

[hearty citrus]

I've simply never heard of a fully auto flamethrower before.

[junior cargo]

Help us, Obi Wan Ke@gleaming geyser, you're our only hope.

[verbal flare]

Aren’t all flamethrowers full auto?

[hearty citrus]

Is a water hose full auto?

[errant silo]

it'll certainly be very interesting if I can throw an average of 6 automatic POW 8's down range

[jovial cobalt]

technically speaking, any weapon which fires a continuous stream of ammunition while holding down the trigger is full auto.

[hearty citrus]

Feel like that only applies to bullets

[jovial cobalt]

but technically speaking even further, fully automatic refers to the reload.

[hearty citrus]

I mean yes, I could see it both ways

[junior cargo]

Let's not bog down the Rules chat with debating real world minutiae when asking about the implications of lobotomized body horrors controlled by psychokinetic cenobites.

[hearty citrus]

I just think its dumb to have an initial stat line youd ultimately never use

[errant silo]

he is here

[verbal flare]

I don't need to ask about the real-world impacts of upper management.

Kreuger3: 👀

[hearty citrus]

They have dashes for that afterall

[frigid umbra]

If i recall this is an attack that does not allow for selecting any other attack types

And Leonard has stated what I was about to

Keep non rules discussions out right now

[junior cargo]

If that's confirmed to be the case, can we see about the word "additional" being removed? That's what seems to be causing the confusion.

[gleaming geyser]

Sure we can remove that. Think it was an artifact of when it was an attack type in testing

[hearty citrus]

Sorry for going off subject, I a lot of times use the real world to understand why rules are the way they are.

[wind shard]

So to be clear, when selecting the special attack, it's just d3 pow 13s?

[jovial cobalt]

any "other" attack types, or any attacks types at all? I still don't understand which it is.

[rustic stone]

No attack types. Just d3 POW 13s

[gleaming geyser]

Yes
