Vastness in combat?

I believe that this is correct.

So casting personal luck would actually reduce the occurence of blood vengeances.

But vastly improve the survivability of the vastness, as it has no protection and is quite vulnerable to attacks by high MR troops like trolls.

Hmmm... that's interesting. Come to think of it... the way I was thinking it worked would probably be overpowed... forcing an MR check for attacking yourself everytime you got swung/shot regardless of sucess would be pretty rough.

Though that means that, if you say empowered your vastness with earth magic and had it cast invulnerability, the Blood Vengeance would seldom come into play?

Luck prevents the attack from hitting. If it hits, then you'll get the blood vengeance check.

Norfleet's explanation said it had to do damage... is that not the case? ie the MR check comes before the damage check?
