Default fire blessing lvl 9 : armorpiercing 8 ap fire weapons ? anti-vq strat discussing

does this mean the fire bless lvl 9 user gets +8 damage and armor piercing on his attacks ?

or something different ?

and do weapon of sharpness give ap or an attacks ?
iirc ap

resistences stack up so does ap from fire blessing + ap from weapons of sharpness stack up to armor negating ?

furthermore the lance attack is described ap so does he stack up to an with fire bless ?

If I understand the mechanism correctly, the primary weapon gets an additional 8 fire damage, armour piercing attack added everytime it hits. The weapon is also made magical.

Weapons of Sharpness makes the targets weapons armour piercing.

Armour piercing doesn't "stack" at all. Your weapons are either normal, armour piercing, or armour negating. What weapons of sharpness will do is make the normal, physical part of the damage armour piercing.

Lances are not armour piercing. The AP acronym stands for action points. Lance damage is dependent on the amount of action points that the unit has at some unknown point during its turn.

umm, as i understand it, the 8 damage AP attack is resolved separately from the normal damage attack; ie. they do not add together.
