Monster of the Week / Another noob question: Smite
« on: October 25, 2016, 04:48:44 PM »
Hi again everyone,

So I went through chargen with my group last night, and it was a blast! I was looking over their characters again afterward, and I notice that I had misread the Divine's Smite move slightly. Not only does it give them powerful unarmed attacks, it makes their weapon and fists count as weaknesses for all monsters! That seems... very strong to me, since it means that the group doesn't have to worry about learning monster weaknesses at all. Idk, I'm worried that it might give the Divine a bit too much spotlight compared to the other characters, since he can annihilate monsters without having to worry about them getting back up again. Am I overthinking things?

Monster of the Week / The Expert's Precise Strike
« on: October 23, 2016, 03:49:54 AM »
Hello all! I picked up MotW recently at the recommendation of a friend's friend, and am looking forward to running my first session Monday. Overall it's a really clear system (it probably helps that I have some experience with other PbtA games). However, there is one move whose wording I found a bit confusing- Precise Strike. It reads:

"When you inflict harm on a monster, you can aim for a weak spot. Roll +Tough. On a 10+ you inflict +2 harm. On a 7-9 you inflict 1 harm. On a miss, you leave yourself open to the monster"

So there are some situations where the move is pretty straightforward. Maybe the hunter is taking an easy shot where they typically could just inflict harm, if they choose to go for broke they can get some bonus harm in. Fair enough. But what about instances where another move is already in play, most notably  "Kick Some Ass"? Would you roll both back-to-back? Or is there something in the wording I'm missing?
