Thank you all for your answers!

Seeing tour opinions, after talking to my group we've decided that we are gonna add the damage once chosing what type of damage gets the bonus.

One player argued that each "damage roll" should get its own bonus (not weapon runes, because they somehow "add" dices to a damage roll). However in the end even he accepted that it would be Too Good To Be True if the Psychic in the group added +38 damage to a Meteor Swarm so we settled using that ruling.

I've been searching for an answer to this question and i haven't found one that really closes the debate.

Q: A character casts a spell while under an effect that gives him a bonus to damage rolls (such as Inspire Courage) or a bonus damage to spells (such as Unleash Psyche), and that spell deals two or more instances of damage like meteor swarm, wich deals bludgeoning with the meteor impact and then fire on the explosion. Then:

1) The bonus is added to the total damage.

2) The bonus is added to each separate damage roll.

I know there has been a discussion and a ruling regarding this issue and Magic Missile but i think this is an entirely different situation since that spell clearly states that you should combine the damage before adding any modifiers.

Thank you all for your helpful (and fast) answers.

That was pretty much what we thought but I just wanted to make sure before we wrongly dismissed something that looked... Too good to be true.

Thanks!

Greetings,

I'm building a Psychic (Emotional Acceptance) for Fists of the Ruby Phoenix and my group can't reach an agreement about being able to pick up Esoteric Lore with Additional Lore (or any Skill increase).

We play with free archetype and I plan on picking Thaumaturge, refluffing its powers as the Psychic noticing and canalizing emotions the enemies feel in order to turn them into our advanteges. The limited use of Esoteric lore strike me as prefect for this, as it can only be used to Recall Knowledge of creatures, hazards... and thus is not as usefull as a "normal" Lore.

We are willing as a group to "bend the rules" a little bit, but not keen on breaking them, so before making a decision i wanted to ask here, maybe there is a non-official consensus on this since i can't find an official one.

Thank you very much (and sorry about any language-related mistakes since i'm not a native speaker).

I asked a few days ago and I think you missed my message. I'd like to join with my newly created human Samurai if it's still possible.

+1 for the second table!

I still don't know what i will be playing since it will be a new character.
