I know someone out there knows the answer to this, or can find it far quicker than I could...
in book 6, section 151, you are asked if you have ever been to the buried temple of Maaken. What book and section number do you need to have visited in order for that to be a true statement?
Thanks!
(I've been cranking away at book 6 for the last couple of days - it's about half-way done! I've done about 1/3 of the book in two days)

Next question, The sewer door in section 156 says to do a normal combat. However, just how effective would psychic attacks be on a sewer door? It, having no mind whatsoever, would be remarkably resistant to such effects as Mindblast and Psi-surge, I should think.
So, for now, I'm saying that the door is immune to Mindblast and Psi-surge, unless someone presents a good argument otherwise.

I'd say book 4, section 350. Question is whether you can recognize the Acolytes of Vashna - games-wise whether you have played through book #4. And so section 350 is the best bet since it means you both have played and have survived Book #4 (and that place where you engage Barraka is the buried temple of Maaken).

Things resistant to Mindblast/Psi-Surge typically have magic barriers- the force is more kinetic in nature-
So, if the developed discipline alone is enough to destroy objects, it logically follows that it should add CS when attacking an inanimate object as well, unless it's imbued with magical/psychic warding. Also, if you have Psi-surge, you avoid the combat entirely (passage 259), so a combat boost from Mindblast is feasible.

Thanks for the clarifications, folks! I'll put those things in right away...

Maybe (in section 156) if you wish to cease combat, it is not necessary to "fight" an evasion turn. You could leave the door immediately.

Just curious. If Mindblast and Psi-surge have a physical effect, what does that mean for their use in the archery tournament?

You can decide to use them or not, at least in Seventh Sense. You can also choose whether or not to receive a double bonus from them, since you have the benefit of relaxed concentration - you don't have to do anything while Altan is taking aim... >

Bk6 '26' Mongoose: Altan CS28 EP50(Target Points). Also the text explains you cannot use a Shield, etc. and Weaponmastery Bow adds +3CS in this instance, not +3 Random Number in Combat. {Previously Altan CS30 EP50} Bk6 '252' Mongoose: Silver Oak Bow correction - now carried as a Special Item. {Previously Silver Oak Bow carried as a Weapon but confusingly treated as a Special Item Bk13+} These are the changes that a guy posted me on mongoose forum. The way he wrote shield etc. I would think u cant use anything except for weaponmastery, but I will try to ask him specificaly about that.

Dang, hate brining this up so late in development- but this gets me to bring up an old question now regarding Weaponskill in the MK series: Each time you're asked to use a bow in the Kai series (Book 4 passages 207, 249, Book 5 passage 56) the instructions read "If you have the Kai Discipline of Weaponskill (any weapon), add 2 to the number you have picked." Assuming books 1-5 were completed, should this mean we get the Weaponskill bonus with the random weapon and bow rolls until we pick up Weaponmastery? And, if so, should the optional Weaponskill Stacking custom rule be interpreted as gaining an extra +2 along with the Weaponmastery bonus with a bow?

Interesting point :-D I myself would say no because it seems to me that the rules regarding the bow are covered from the book 6 on. So nothing before that counts. :-P
