Why is warhorse not working?

[chimero]

I have warhorse as a follower, but when I engage in combat my Craft is not being added to my attack roll. Any idea why this might be happening?

In fact, I have been having trouble with followers in other games as well. I had Luna as a follower in one game, but not a single reroll let me choose the value. And when I used the Haggler, I rarely had the option to trade when landing on another character. Is there any known issue with followers? Maybe when I gather too many followers their scripts interfere with each other? idk...

Hmm let me see...

For Warhorse, it only works for battle, not psychic combat.

For Luna, you need to double click her to use her. There is no automatic prompt when you reroll the dice.

For Haggler, you need to use it when landing ; once you start encountering, you lost the opportunity. Also, you cannot use Haggler if the character you land on has no item.

Maybe when I gather too many followers their scripts interfere with each other?

There is nothing like this as far as i know.

They were battles, and my craft was never added to strength. Twice, before I ragequit. But I was playing the Elementalist... maybe his ability to shift the attribute-points somehow disables the effect?

I think you are right regarding Luna though: I never manually activated her effect, and thus it never triggered.

The Elementalist does not disable the Warhorse, however his craft value is only of 1.

In Talisman, the craft value is the value displayed on the character sheet, aka your starting craft. Elementalist has a strength value of 1, and a craft value of 1. Warhorse will then only add +1 in battle.

That's exactly what happened then, I now remember that he was getting a +1 bonus during combat. Thank you for your helping me understand what happened.

No problem :)

Unfortunate change in rules in 4th Ed

2nd edition warhorse added all craft and there was no such thing as craft ‘value’

Which would make the warhorse utterly unbalanced - it's already pretty tough.
