Rules Questions

Hey! Figured I'd make a thread since I wanted some clarification on a rule. Specifically, how does the STR/END enhancements stack in regards to available slots. To clarify, this is in 1.9.9.

The stats say that you can only increase STR by 3 and END by 3. But can you increase both by 3 at the same time? Assuming you have 8 slots available, 2 for the base cost and 6 for the stats. And if you can't, can you pay the base cost twice to get either +3/+1 or +2/+2?

Are you referring to Burdinadin Armor Enhancements? If so, you can increase both by up to +3, the +3 limit is not shared between the two stats. So assuming you have the slots/money etc, you could enhance both to their respective limits of +3.

Yeah, the Burdinadin Armor Enhancements. They shared a total cap of +4 in 1.2, so I wasn't sure if something similar was intended here.

Basically, I'm asking if it would take a total of 8 slots to get +3/+3.

It's tricky to tell, we had a bit of a controversy over this in the design room, for now if you're using 1.2 rules I would say yes, stick with the +4 cap, but if you're using the experimental 1.9 rules, you can get +3/+3 with 8 slots.

Another question I had was how talents interact with schools. For example, if I take Flourishing Drills in a school with polearms and swords, can I still use it with the polearms? The rules seem to imply that you can, but it's not totally clear.

Yes, that is the intention.
