Title: Potential Errata - Combat Boons
Post by: imported_Rasyr on December 29, 2013, 04:11:38 PM: Okay, it was recently brought to my attention that some of the Combat Boons may be a little more powerful than originally intended.

Specifically the 1 Point Boons, Daze Foe and Knock Prone.

I am considering 2 bits of potential errata for them.

1) Increase their cost to 2 Boon Points each.

2) Give the foe a Save for each one (Con for Daze Foe, Spd for Knock Prone). The TN would be 12 + #of ranks in skill used to make the attack.

Feedback? Suggestions?

In our experiences that 1 BP knock prone was the go to boon. I found increasing the cost to 2 balanced it out.

(trent -- also check the FAQ/Errata - I updated it with some clarifications about Sneaking)
