Re: [HoE] Hand to Hand and AP

[Steven Strange <sstrange@mac.com>]

	Thanks.  Actually I did mean actions rather than rounds.  My concern
was that if the hero is also blessed by Wyatt, she could theoretically
pull 6 actions per round.  The idea of a faith 5  templar pulling 30
actions ( 5 rounds * 6 actions )  of armor piercing whoopass against
some critter seemed a bit excessive.   Of course that is the most
extreme example possible.

	Both durations seem plausable.  Any opinions out there about whether
having the blessing be faith in rounds is too powerful?  Would another
duration be more appropriate?  Will this questioning ever end?

Steven, yes, technically the earth is a blunt weapon, Strange
