Afflictions with Follow-Up and Multiple Carriers

[Donny Brook]

Spines are not entirely passive like DR; you roll against DX-4 to hit everyone within Reach C. No rule says they can't be Linked with a Striker. I have described an example of what such a Linked set might be. It seems like some folks are getting hidebound by their previous usage of Link rather than thinking about how to give effect to something they hadn't thought of before.

Edit: on further reflection I could see the idea that Linking Spines and Striker is redundant, that is, that if you have Spines and a Striker the Spines benefit automatically comes into effect when the Striker is close enough to someone, just as a multi-hex creature's Spines affect all the hexes it covers.
