When does Stunning Fist trigger?

[masda_gib]

One of my players now has Stunning Fist so I have to clarify a question.

The feat says "If either Strike hits and deals damage, ...". English isn't my first language and I found conflicting interpretations for that.

So, does Stunning Fist trigger when ONE OF THE TWO Strikes hit or only when BOTH hit?

[breithauptclan]

Only one of the two attacks is required to hit and deal damage.

If both were required, the text would instead read 'if both Strikes hit and damage is not reduced to 0...'

And yeah, English is a terrible language. It is the only language I speak, and I still hate it.

Thanks a lot! I thought so, too, but the first two translations in my got-to translator where exactly the two opposing options. :/

Plus I remeber it being fairly limited in the playtest so I was unsure.

For all of you multilinguals out there, I have always been curious how well a translator program would do with a deliberately perverse sentence like:

I am present in the present to present a present.

correct synonyms:

I am here right now to give a gift.

But I can't read what the translator returns with.

Eu estou no ponto aguardando dar sete em ponto para tomar meu remédio e ir pro hospital tomar sete pontos depois de ter sofrido uma falta por fazer sete pontos no jogo e por um ponto final no campeonato.

Try to translate this and you will find out how it's like.

Right translation:

I'm in the bus stop, waiting for 7'o clock to take my medicine and go to the hospital to do 7 stitches after being fouled for making 7 points in the game and put an ending on the championship.

Hah. That is amazing. Thanks. Seven points to Ravenclaw.

When I saw 'fouled' I was thinking basketball and wondered why someone would get stitches for scoring seven points. Then I remembered football/soccer and realized that if you alone score 7 points in a championship soccer match, the opposing team is absolutely going to try and cripple you.

Google Translate makes correct if a bit fancy German out of that sentence. :)
