Ja, da kommt man doch immer wieder ins Grübeln.
Grundsätzlich ist ein Strike mit einer Waffe KEIN Hand-Strike (sondern eben ein melee-weapon-strike), d.h. der Strike von Basilia mit der Garotte ist NICHT aggravated. Zur Verdeutlichung der Möglichkeiten Basilias im Kampf hier ein kleiner Ausschnitt aus einer Regeldiskussion aus der Newsgroup auf Google:
"To continue an example from the other thread, imagine Basilia has a
Ritual Challenge, Depravity, and has played a inf. torn signpost in
the current imaginary combat. She is equipped with a Bastard Sword.
When it comes time to select her strike she may:
1. Select "Hand Strike" This is a strike that deals hand damage (aka
strength) plus any effects associated with a "Hand Strike". Thus
Basilia has
2 hand damage (base from Torn Signpost)
+1 hand damage (from Ritual Challenge)
+1 hand damage (from Depravity)
for a total strike of 4 hand damage. This damage is from a Hand
Strike, and is thus aggravated (by Basilia's special).
2. Select Bastard Sword, and strike with a "Melee Weapon Strike".
2 hand damage (base from Torn Signpost)
+1 hand damage (from Ritual Challenge)
+1 hand damage (from Depravity)
+1 damage (from the Bastard Sword)
for a total strike of 5 damage. This is not considered a "Hand
Strike" and it is not considered "Hand Damage". It is a "Melee
Weapons Strike" and is considered "Melee Weapon Damage", for all
intents and purposes.
For reference purposes, Basilia's "Strength" in both of these strikes
is 4. (Those modifiers that affect her inherent "strike with hands"
modify her "Strength")
3. Select "Undead Strength" at inferior (+1 hand damage to hand or
melee weapon strike) and specify "Hand Strike"
2 hand damage (base from Torn Signpost)
+1 hand damage (from Ritual Challenge)
+1 hand damage (from Depravity)
+1 hand damage (from Undead Strength)
This is a "Hand Strike" for 5 aggravated damage. Basilia's "Strength"
is 5.
4. Select "Undead Strength" at inferior (+1 hand damage to hand or
melee weapon strike) and specify "Melee Weapon Strike" with the
Bastard Sword.
2 hand damage (base from Torn Signpost)
+1 hand damage (from Ritual Challenge)
+1 hand damage (from Depravity)
+1 damage (from the Bastard Sword)
+1 damage (from the Undead Strength)
This is a "Melee Weapon Strike" for 6 damage. Basilia's "Strength"
for this strike is 5." Zitatende.
Übrigens gibt es für Assamiten eine Quietus-Karte, Blood Agony, die Strikes mit der Hand
oder der Waffe aggravated machen. Dann ist das natürlich was anderes. Und dann zieht die Garotte wunderbar.
Alles klar?
