Mild name confusion

[siegfriedliner]

So this is a little bit of a nit pick but I found the similarity in naming between intercept strike and intercept foes a little bit confusing especially when determining which supplemental feats effects applied to each of them.

Does disarming intercept apply to only intercept strike or both intercept strike and intercept foe caused me a little confusion.

I am mildly dyslexic and I prefer rigidee rules text rather than descriptive text so this may be a just me problem. Did anyone else find it confusing?

I mixed the two up early in my reading through the Playtest, and commented on that specifically in my survey.

My only issue is that I keep thinking that “Intercept Strike” is an intercept Strike - a Strike you make to intercept, not that you are intercepting a Strike. It doesn’t help that Strike is an Action. Anyway, it’s a pretty small thing…

I made the same mistake on my first read through. I had to do a double take. I blame it on my time with 4e where everything was "[Something] Strike"

Too be fair their are over a dozen feats and abilities with "strike" in there name and I haven't been able to find another one of them that wasn't it's own action including a strike or modification too or rider on a strike. Intercept strike does seem to break that convention. Perhaps they should have called it intercept blow, or body block.

I would agree with that. If the ability has 'Strike' in the name, then you should be rolling dice and dealing damage when you use it.

Have they used the word Interpose for a feat yet? That is more or less what you're doing, after all, interposing yourself between your friend and an attack.
