Multiple Triggers

Unread post by eliakon »

Okay, so I understand that a trigger ward can set of either another ward, or start a numbered series of wards off. Cool.
I was wondering though.

1) Can I have multiple trigger wards in one phrase (so phrase 1 sets off phase 1 and 2. Or do I have to have it set of list 1,2)
2) Can I have the same ward with multiple triggers (so ward 1, 2, and 3 will all set off ward 4)

The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

I think it might incur a skill roll penalty(s) to have multiple triggers, but possible.

May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

Number 1 is the absolute best. Daisy chains!

Number 2 sounds good, yeah.

Yes, you can do that desired effect. It is basically just the same as Multiple Wards rule on page. 123

The only things is that you need to pay for the extra few point of PPE for the additional wards and it would be an extra daily ward creation usuage for each different trigger.

That's the way I've always seen it.

Awesome. I have some ideas rattling around my head and they involve some...creative ward usage. It sounds like, at least on this part, that I am on pretty solid ground to run with it.
