I think you meant adding the abilities to the video itself. I only mean to write them in the description underneath the video where you have the weblink to this site. That would be enough for me to refresh the old grey cells with what abliities you have.
Fire aura is better than back fire. Back fire is nasty. It does two damage dice to your hero!

We can do that too. I'm just trying to figure out what is going to work best for viewing. Next episode I think I'm going to try to import a picture of the Act2 map before we start our quest. We're slowing getting to where I wanted to be with these episodes based on my idea when I started out this project. I think we'll have everything down to a science by the end of the book. Hahaha
I think fire aura is going to work nicely with the Lightning ability and the increased venom damage now. That passive damage is a terrific.

At 17.08 you add brawn to first strike. You only use the damage you roll, you don't add brawn to damage dice (only when you roll for a "damage score")

Thanks for that clarification. I wasn't sure which way to go on that. It makes sense. We'll play it that way from now on. Thank you again.
We're filming tomorrow's episode tonight. I should have it edited and uploaded again tomorrow night around 9PM ET.

Keep up the good work! 
Yep - it can be confusing but the rule is that you never add your Brawn or Magic score to a dice roll unless you are rolling for 'damage score' (keyword being 'score'). The text will always make this clear.
For example, 'Cleave' states that you roll one damage 'die' (not score) and apply the result as health damage to all enemies, ignoring armour. So you wouldn't add anything to this as it is 'damage dice', not a 'damage score'. The text for the ability also states that you use this instead of rolling for a damage score.
'Deep Wound' however, allows you to roll one extra die for damage score, so in this instance you would roll two dice and add your Brawn as you are still rolling for damage 'score'. However, if you had both 'Cleave' and 'Deep Wound', you can't use them together because 'Cleave' replaces your roll for damage score whereas 'Deep Wound' adds to your damage score roll. (i.e. you wouldn't be able to combine the two to do 2 damage dice to each enemy.)
Lots of finicky rules to remember like that!

Okay, awesome. Thank you very much for that clarification. That will help going forward.
Hopefully with this pre-combat and ongoing damage we'll be able to take down most of the rest of Act 2 in good shape. We'll see though.
