minus-squarecjoll4@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 days agoI think the Retributive Strike has to be an intentional action by the attuned wielder. I don’t think damage from external sources triggers it, even if it breaks the staff.
minus-squarebearoftheislelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 days agoRAW I agree with you, but since it also explodes if you overcharge it I’d probably flavor rule that it explodes if it breaks too.
