The KD is an archetype for Magus that focuses on Bladed Scarves. At 9th level they can pick this arcana.

Curse (Su):
Choose an ability score upon taking this arcana. Whenever the bladed scarf dancer scores a critical hit with a bladed scarf, he may expend 1 point from his arcane pool to deal 1d4 points of damage to that ability score of the creature struck. This arcana can be selected multiple times, but a different ability score must be chosen each time. The bladed scarf dancer must be at least 9th level before selecting this arcana.

If you activate this ability and have the arcana six tines, does it take 1 point or 6?


Can't tell. You could argue either way and make a quite reasonable case as far as I'm concerned. FAQed.

Shadow Lodge

By reading, it would cost 1 point for each ability you wanted to affect on the hit.

Liberty's Edge

I believe the intent is to give you additional options, not more at once. You gain more choices for your attack so you can spend the point and pick which stat from those you have learned.

Either way it is a really poorly worded ability.


I agree with harliquinn that it would be 1 point for each you wanted to activate.
