Should Defensive Blast be altered in Conan 2nd?

Apparently, as I believe I mentioned at the start of this...fiasco of a thread (lol)...Mongoose Gar said that's what he's considering doing for the second edition due out by the end of summer.

Frankly, I don't see that as long enough for huge rewrites, so the best bet is to clasrify the intent of DB, eliminate cascading and perpetual recharge of PP after it's use, and then just list DB as an optional rule.

I suppose one can always dream! :wink:

I have no problem with it as is. Good grief people, if you don't like it, how's about you simply don't use it instead of suggesting it hould be changed?

It's not so simple. How about if someone said they didn't like thieves having skill points? Do you just throw it out? Doubtful, as it would unbalance the class. Same goes for DB, simply throwing it out weakens the class unduly. Therefore, *if* there is a problem, adjusting it makes more sense than just throwing it out.

Nothing makes more sense to me at this point than letting this thread die and untimely death.

DB is messed up, use common sense and incorporate it or not based on your opinion.

Can we go now?
