How many Karma?

Post by Spader » Tue Dec 12, 2017 12:51 am

Let's say a beastmaster lands on a foe using Down Strike and Claw Shape and she's 7th circle, can she spend 3 karma points on her damage? (one for each talent and one for her fifth circle Karma Ability)

Yes. You have the logic correct.

I think you can spend karma on two talents.

Source of the karma matters so one is from discipline ability and the other is from talent.

But maybe I'm wrong.

Each talent counts as an individual source, so you can spend one karma for each talent. The Discipline ability is a third source, so 3 Karma is correct.

(See the clarification in the Errata & FAQ document.)
