Mastermind Investigator

[Brett Johnson]

Was the altered inspiration ability ever FAQd to remove the "or" loophole?

[blackbloodtroll]

Please describe this "loophole".

[Muddman72]

Or I see what you mean:

"A mastermind can use inspiration on any Diplomacy, Intimidate, Knowledge, or skill checks without spending a use of inspiration.

This ability alters inspiration."

You're saying that because of the wording, the Mastermind should get the inspiration die on EVERY skill check.

I'd never ever rule that way. I don't know if its been "officially" changed, but its obviously not the spirit of the rule.

[Gisher]

That is clearly a typo, but it does make me wonder what the typo is. Should the word 'or' have been before 'knowledge' or was there supposed to be another skill after the 'or'?

The Mastermind archetype's Mastermind's Inspiration says:

Advanced Class Guide wrote:

Mastermind’s Inspiration (Ex): A mastermind can use inspiration on any Diplomacy, Intimidate, Knowledge, or skill checks without spending a use of inspiration. This ability alters inspiration.

Does this ability allow the Mastermind to use Inspiration on all skill checks, without expending an use of Inspiration?

I have made a clear question in the post above about this, to attract a FAQ.

Please hit the FAQ button next to that post.

By the way, PRD says the same thing.

[Brett Johnson]

Sry, yes That is what I'm talking about, due to the typo you can use any inspiration on any skill for free.

Again, I suggest that those reading this thread FAQ my above post.

This wording is obviously a mistake, and needs to be addressed.

I don't think anyone can deny that.

[Chess Pwn]

I'm pretty sure they are aware of this and will address it in the Errata that's coming. We're probably not going to get any info on the ACG until that Errata is published.

[Kudaku]

FAQ'ed. The ACG errata really can't arrive soon enough.

This is Rules Question.

Why was this moved?
