projectile clarification

Since projectile has somewhat ambiguous wording I have to ask: if played at superior, can the additional strike be dodged or not? Smoking craters tell no tales. —Tex talks Battletech

That was a 'no, it can be dodged', right? In my opinion "as above with an additional strike" could be interpreted that the additional strike is a full copy of the first part, and so non-dodgable, but apparently the wording is literal and taken as such. I'm fine with this. I had to ask though, since I have come across plenty of situations in other games where cards have been errata'ed according to the intention of the card designer and thus the wording is not taken literally.

James' answer explains why it is so, which is more useful than a plain "no". > Bloodartist wrote: > In my opinion "as above with an additional strike" could be interpreted that the additional strike is a full copy of the first part, > It is. Superior could be read: Strike: 1R damage or use a ranged weapon strike. This strike cannot be dodged. This vampire gains an additional strike. > Bloodartist wrote: > and so non-dodgable, but apparently the wording is literal and taken as such. I'm fine with this.

Don't forget also to check the official card text of cards: www.vekn.net/index.php/card-lists rather than the Secret Library for instance that might not be up-to-date.
