Hi there! Im italian so dont take care of my strange English. I would know the use of the Laser Ramas in the Lonewolf's GrandMaster serie. I understand this Laser makes from 2 to 18 points of EP damage versus an enemy, but how can u know the real amount of damage?  |

I am assuming that Laser is the Italian name for Kai Blast. The description of Kai Blast was missing a sentence in the original books, but what should have been there was explained in Lone Wolf Club Newsletter 24. This is the complete description:

Thank u very much for the help!
Ok now these LAST few questions to make me sleep well ;D
1) with Curing power i can add +1EP for every section of the book WITHOUT FIGHT....now what this means? can i add the point when im running away from the enemy, im seeing him coming to me, im preparing to kill him with an arrow or he hurts me and catches some EP points (example: he hurts your leg...u lose 3EP) ??
I want to say....i cant add 1EP only when in a paragraph i see the combat skills of the fighters (me vs enemy/ies), true?
2)can i change weapons during the game if i have already 2 of them? well i ask this cause i've read i can change or drop my items if i have the max. number of them (not during a fight of course) but i've never read i can change or drop my weapons during an adventure if i have 2...i suppose its implicit, isnt it?
PS: in book n° 2 there is a note sounds like this: "if u want to change one or both your weapons, this is the moment".....so u can change them only at the beginning of the book, where u are in front of the famous "table" with items and weapons?

Basically, this means any section of the book that you read through without having to use the 'Combat Results Table' to determine how much damage you and an opponent took from fighting each other. You can drop a weapon at any time during the adventure, and pick up a new one whenever one is capitalized in the text, or exchange a weapon you are carrying for one that you find. Even if you wanted to drop the Sommerswerd, you could do so. This often spells doom for your opponent.  |

The start of book 2 is special in that you can exchange any weapon you're carrying for one on the table, and this doesn't count as one of the two items you're otherwise allowed to take.

Basically, this means any section of the book that you read through without having to use the 'Combat Results Table' to determine how much damage you and an opponent took from fighting each other. Some people (OK, probably just me) use a rule where Lone Wolf has to be in relative peace to be able to use Curing in a page section. So if he's running flat out away from an enemy for instance, he couldn't use it. This probably has as much to do with my reading style as with roleplay reasons. When Lone Wolf is in urgent, tense situations, I tend to read the sections really fast, and flick through the pages quickly. I read with a sense of urgency.  -GB |

I agree with Ghost Bear that his method makes the books a tad more exciting (and difficult). However, for clarity's sake, you can use healing whenever not in combat, as detailed more specifically above.

Whenever you there is no combat in the paragraph. You could stretch that so that you also don't heal if you took damage (from a trap, say) in that paragraph.

So if he's running flat out away from an enemy for instance, he couldn't use it. Of course, the flipside to that is that some numbered sections cover many hours or even days of Lone Wolf not stretching himself too much. Yet you can heal only 1 EP for the entire section. Personally, I add 1EP per non-combat section regardless of content because it evens things out overall. Just a thought. |

In at least one instance, such an occurrence is noted as healing you entirely if you have Healing or Curing (I think it was Book 2).
Then again, logic dictates that if you are going to use "common sense" with weapons etc., you should also use it with healing during long periods.

Personally, I add 1EP per non-combat section regardless of content because it evens things out overall. Just a thought. I do the same thing, adding for any section without combat. Sometimes I even try to take what I think might be a longer route through an area just to get the few extra EP restored. Like Outspaced said, sometimes hours or days pass during a section, so why should you only get 1 EP back over several days, but not any for running around. If that were the case, there would be no healing allowed during major sections of whole books! |

Ah! It's not just me who does that! Definitely not. There are times when I've intentionally used Sixth Sense/Divination to get one extra EP before making a decision that'll lead me into combat. |

Well, to be honest, if you have Hunting, Weaponskill and the Sommerswerd, a lot of time in Books 3-5, you can finish with very little EP loss.
