View Full Version : Duplicate effects confuse us

Hello.

Why does the chat-window list defensive effects for both the attacker as penalty and for the target as bonus? Here is an example using (standard) cover:


[ATTACK (M)] +1 Returning Striking Starknife [MOD:DEX] [COVER -2] [Agile]

[ATTACK (M)] +1 Returning Striking Starknife [MOD:DEX] [COVER -2] [Agile] [26] -> [at Trap] [DEF EFFECTS +2] [HIT]

The chat message lists "COVER -2" penalty two times despite said penalty not being applied. Instead the "DEF EFFECT +2" bonus is applied to the target, which is the correct way to calculate it (+2 circumstance bonus to AC).

The current implementation is confusing to my players and not does not reflect what is really happening.

Any thoughts on this? Why is the same effect listed twice (on both sides) even when it is only applied once? Or is this coming from an extension?
