Found out about this nifty little game via the Character Creation Podcast and I am having a lot of fun with my intrepid little insect bumbling about.

But other than the book not having any bookmarks and text not being selectable (which makes it extremely cumbersome to navigate and to create quick personal reference docs) I do have a quick question, since I'm not sure how to interpret some of the stuff about skills:


How exactly does [Humanoid] skill work in attacking? It is a boost skill and says you can 'gain an attack bonus', but does it count as a boost attack bonus or an attack skill bonus? And do weapons count as attack skills in this situation (they have the attack skill icon, so...), granting another die?

So if I have a [Humanoid] and a weapon, do I get 1 die (and if so, does it count as a boost or attack skill?) or two dice (1 from [Humanoid], 1 from weapon)? And if I also have [Magic Attack], how many dice does that give me...?

(also, I assume [Magic Attack] is the only skill that can be combined with weapons in any way, correct? i.e. I cannot use a [Poison Attack] with a heavy weapon to combine their effects?)

Basically, Humanoid allows you to use and gain bonus with equipment equal to its level. So, using a Weapon gives you an attack bonus, not a boost bonus. Weapons do not combine with other attack skills.

Magic attacks main benefit is gaining bonuses from the Magic Boost skill.

Dice gained from any single skill, if not stated elsewhere, is 1 dice, but if its level is 5 or more higher than a comparison skill (attack skill higher than defense skill, for example) it awards two dice instead.

I hope this helps! Also, download the quick start guide for more tips!
