Sniper Slipup Solved

Question: Does Wind Reader, paired with Sharpshooter, allow you to add your total number of Sky boons to your damage roll when using guns?

Ahaha, see, this is what I mean when I talk about players always finding a way to do things they aren't supposed to.

No, Wind Reader, like the other level two enhancement boons (Tectonic Strength, Glacial Resistance, Fluid Endurance and Pheromones) is never intended to be used for damage rolls, only for the performances of tasks and badassness in other arenas. We included the inability to use Tectonic Strength for damage in its text, but apparently forgot that Perception can also be used for damage with the appropriate knacks. These boons should never be used for that; there are plenty of damage adders in the game, but these aren't meant to be some of them.

Wind Reader's been corrected to reflect that being able to hear extra well due to the wind carrying sounds to you does not translate to being able to shoot people harder.
