The Book of Trunks (Future)

OR

SHINING SWORD ATTACK
After Trunks attacks an adjacent figure with his normal attack, if at least one skull was rolled, he may attack one additional time, either:
• with his normal attack against an adjacent figure, rolling 1 fewer attack die; or
• with his Burning Attack Special Attack.

If it is without bullets, then I think the Burning Attack should be listed second, so that people don’t read the “1 fewer attack die” to apply to both options. Also, in the bullet points version, there shouldn’t be a comma after “or.” Some of the earlier drafts have that extra comma.

Thoughts?

This is the best version yet but the "one additional" limits it to just one additional when it is not currently and therefore it should be "again"

That last version is pretty much just what I posted so I am ok with it.

@Karat - I didn't understand that he could keep attacking after every normal attack (with a skull). Thanks for clarifying! I think that was making some confusion in the discussion.

With that idea in mind, what do you think about these options?

SHINING SWORD ATTACK
After Trunks attacks an adjacent figure with his normal attack, if at least one skull was rolled, he may attack an additional time [or “again”], either with his normal attack against an adjacent figure, rolling 1 fewer attack die with each subsequent attack, or with his Burning Attack Special Attack.

OR

SHINING SWORD ATTACK
After Trunks attacks an adjacent figure with his normal attack, if at least one skull was rolled, he may attack an additional time [or “again”], either:
• with his normal attack against an adjacent figure, rolling 1 fewer attack die with each subsequent attack; or
• with his Burning Attack Special Attack.

We'd want again, but I like the first of what you posted there. I don't see any need for bullets here.

[Sporx]

So:

SHINING SWORD ATTACK
After Trunks attacks an adjacent figure with his normal attack, if at least one skull was rolled, he may attack again, either with his normal attack against an adjacent figure, rolling 1 fewer attack die with each subsequent attack, or with his Burning Attack Special Attack.

[IAmBatman]

That's got my vote.

[Lord Pyre]

Seems perfectly clear to me, Sporx!

[Karat]

Definitely prefer the bulleted option. Updating with that.

[Sporx]

Take two

SHINING SWORD ATTACK
After Trunks attacks an adjacent figure with his normal attack, if at least one skull was rolled, he may attack again, either:
• with his normal attack against an adjacent figure, rolling 1 fewer attack die with each subsequent attack; or
• with his Burning Attack Special Attack.

Why? What do the bullets add?

[Karat]

It makes it more clear that they are seperate from each other.

[tcglkn]

Bullets don’t seem needed here.
