My understanding of the rules as written is that the +4 that thieves get for rear attack does not stack with the +4 for being invisible.  It seems to be that thieves get an improved rear attack bonus (which is otherwise +2) and rear attack does not stack with invisibility.  Yay / nay?

I check these pages every day in the hopes the ritual will somehow speed the printing process.  I'm pretty sure it's working.

Would love to see the Xathoqqua's Woe Critical Misses table included in the rulebook(s).

Ah ok - I was incorrectly assuming they were both only full one night at a time. I should have read more carefully! Thank you for the clarification.

RAW for Werewolf:
A werewolf is a cursed man who transforms into a wolf-man at will, except during the three nights when Selene is full and the one night when Phobos is full (see Vol. VI, p. 500: Table 153), when the change occurs regardless of the werewolf ’s wishes.

That seems to indicate a total of four nights per some kind of cycle.

There are 4 nights each month that Phobos is full.
There is 1 night each month that Selene is full.
There are 4 nights per year that both Selene and Phobos are full on the same night.

My question is, under what circumstances does the involuntary transformation occur?
