Now, if a character wanted to make an all-out and telegraphic attack, I would allow a Perception based skill roll to notice that it is also an all-out attack. But I wouldn't add any bonus to it. Noticing that it is also an all-out attack rather than just a mere telegraphic attack is not necessarily more obvious. Likewise, for deceptive attacks, I wouldn't require any Perception based skill roll. The penalty to the defense, and the penalty to the attack as a drawback, perfectly do the job to my humble opinion. Knowing that it was a deceptive attack rather than an ordinary attack wouldn't change these penalties ... Last edited by Gollum; 10-30-2016 at 05:04 AM. |

Now, that is just a matter of point of view - I have no real argument to defend what I say here. |

I guess the way I see it is the attack will be what ever it is (Committed, Defensive, AoA with a FP thrown in etc) Telegraphic is just the way its being done. And to me if you do something in a telegraphic way your making it easier for others to see what your doing rather just making it easier to spot that your doing it in way that's easier to spot (erm IYSIM) So what do you think of the idea about a deceptive option being harder to spot? But I think you and I are pretty much on the same wave length here, so yeah no real point of contention at all. |

Having said that, it adds one more level of complexity to the game. You go from one more roll to one more roll with modifiers. And even if modifiers sound to be easy in theory, they are always less easy than a roll without any modifier ... especially in the heat of a battle with several PCs and NPCs to handle. |
