Hello,

Tried emailing customer service but have yet to receive a response, so I'll do it here.

I would like to change the shipping for order # 4030816. I initially thought I could place the order just in time before my subscription shipment went through but it turns out I was too late.

So I would like for this order to ship normally and I understand some shipping fees might be involved.

Thank you.

Here, as is ? Unlikely.

I think a clear post containing what we know and the issue we see, along with a bunch of FAQ clicks is the best chance to get an answer.

Let's try :

Tooth That Seeks Honor (Ex) 2nd Level

The second doshko tooth resists dishonor. Your training empowers you to recover from missed blows by extending your reach or changing tactics. When you miss an opponent with a melee attack with your doshko, you can grant that doshko the disarm, reach, sunder (Armory 30), or trip weapon special property until the start of your next turn. If you miss again before the start of your next turn, you can grant the doshko an additional special property from the list. You can grant a doshko only two special properties at a time with this ability.

The issue being :

- the weapon properties only last until the start of your next turn.
- maneuvers are standard actions by default, meaning the temporary properties dissipate before they can be used.
- there are precious few ways to either get more actions or use maneuvers other than with said default standard action (namely, there's one class specific option) (or a potential high level envoy buddy, which a level 2 ability shouldn't be entirely dependent on).

All this meaning that gaining maneuver weapon properties, after an attack, that end at the start of one's next turn does basically nothing.
Reach has it a bit less bad, thanks to the potential for AoOs, but barely.

What's the intent here ?
Should it last until the end of next turn ?

...
Should this be its own thread ? I'm not sure about FAQ etiquette.

Having some issues with this with my group as well, so here are my thoughts.

It says, "you can grant (the special properties) until the start of your next turn."

So the way I see it the properties are granted at the start of the Soldier's next turn. They don't end there. This prevents the soldier from applying the special properties to their second additional attack if they were to do a Full Attack.

In the next sentence, "If you miss again before the start of your next turn, you can grant the doshko an additional property from the list." So this only really applies if you miss both attacks in a full attack.

I think the intent with this ability is to pump out full attacks. Two misses, two special properties for your next turn's attacks. One hit and one miss, one special property for your next turn's attack.
