Investigator Questions

[Fushung]

Hi all!!!

I'm currently building an investigator and I had a few questions, could you guys please help me out? :)

#1 I'm thinking of going half-elf for my investigator. The favored class bonus gives me a flat bonus to my inspiration rolls. According to the inspired weapon special ability:

"If the wielder already has the combat inspiration talent, the wielder must still expend one use of inspiration, but in addition to adding the result of the inspiration roll to the attack roll, the investigator adds twice the result of the inspiration roll to the weapon’s damage roll."

Now of course like all sane investigators, I'm getting combat inspiration. But hoe does this interact with my favored class bonus. Do I get to double the roll for inspiration first and then add my favored class bonus or do i just double it after adding the bonus, I'm thinking that it probably means the former but its probably better to double check.

#2 If two enemies are side by side constantly, can I keep on chaining domino effect between the two each round?

#3 When an investigator makes a full attack does he have to roll an inspiration once for everything or does he have to spend inspiration for every attack. This seems like an obvious question but I can't seem to find where it says either is correct. If you guys find something could you send me a link or something? :)

1. I could be wrong here, but my interpretation is that you would roll inspiration on attack, and add your FCB to that roll. Then the damage is simply double the result of the check (which means you're getting double your FCB to damage). Generally if there's a ruling these kinds of things give you the less favourable result, but in this case I can't see a specific ruling and grammatically it seems to favour the player. This one is probably a case of "ask your GM".

2. Yes. However there's nothing in the Domino Effect ability that removes the cost of doing this (meaning the first time you study an opponent it's free, but when you study that opponent again it costs an inspiration point).

3. Once per roll. In this case that's once per attack (unless you can somehow use one roll for lots of attacks).

#2 ah so I still have to use inspiration? All domino says its that I can use a free action to designate a new target. I thought that I could switch between the two to save inspiration actually.

I don’t think domino effect has any language to overcome the once per target per 24 hours restriction for studied combat. You only overcome that by spending an inspiration point. All domino effect does is let you study as a free action, instead of a move (or swift with Quick Study). That’s still very helpful.
