Re: The Sublime Gunslinger's Art: Black Rain [Discipline]
Smoking Steel Parry -really- does need a rewrite though. I think I know what it's supposed to do, just not how it's supposed to do it. A rewrite would be wonder.
I mean, this is basically the best ranged Discipline on Gitp right now. We needs everything perfect D:

Re: The Sublime Gunslinger's Art: Black Rain [Discipline]
...Speaking of which, I've had no less than 2 DMs (perhaps 3, even, don't remember) not let me use this discipline because of Azure Battle Mandala. I mean, I know +20 to hit on a non-power-attackable attack isn't that great, but it'll get a lot of people to drop the ban hammer on it right then and there. Perhaps something else, like a bonus to hit equal to initiator level?

Re: The Sublime Gunslinger's Art: Black Rain [Discipline]
But you only get a single hit with it. Why would that be an outright ban?

Re: The Sublime Gunslinger's Art: Black Rain [Discipline]
Actually the first level stance hot-blooded gunman bravado allows you to trade attack for damage; ranged power attack. That could be why Azure Battle Mandala is over powered.
But apart from that combo, I love this discipline. Since it works on rays too warlocks can benefit from a swordsage dip or the martial study feat tree.Last edited by Mayhem; 2011-05-21 at 06:07 PM.

Re: The Sublime Gunslinger's Art: Black Rain [Discipline]
I'm not sure if TDO would even be allowed to revise this, since he works as a freelancer for White Wolf now. The non-compete clause can be a bitch. No idea, though.
Also, what's unclear about smoking steel parry? It seems pretty clear to me. You make an attack roll in response to a ranged attack, and the target of the original attack can substitute your attack result for his AC.Awesome Cyborg Doom Monkey avatar by Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins.

Re: The Sublime Gunslinger's Art: Black Rain [Discipline]
Isn't smoking steel parry better in every way than the same level maneuver wall of blades?

Re: The Sublime Gunslinger's Art: Black Rain [Discipline]
No, as Smoking Steel Parry doesn't permit you to parry melee or melee touch attacks - only ranged and thrown attacks (and ranged spells that require attack rolls).
