Theo is correct. A FW player may use both hero and minion characters. However, there are some twists: All of your non-Orc/Troll characters are considered to be hero characters. So that rules out non-Orc/Trolls, and Corruption checks for an Orc or Troll character are handled as if he were a minion ch...

No resources require Information as written on the site card. 3. If the site is untapped, a character in the company may attempt to play an item, ally, or faction that is "playable" at that site. Tap the character and the site. Certain resource cards other than items, allies, and factions are playab...

And has come to the conclusion that: * ICE was kidding when they said that Wizards do not use RW only rules * ICE was mistaken when they decided to bullet the rules for influencing factions in MELE * RWs get to use whatever METW rules they want * ICE went out of their way to deliberately write nons...

There's only one place to find out which Standard Modifications apply. No one knew how to determine which Standard Modifications were applicable to influencing an opponent's factions until the rules for playing factions in the Balrog were printed? You're walking proof that some people still don't k...

Now we're getting in to what occurs with the cancelling of actions.

I still think Annotation 8 should be amended to account for targeting of entities not in play.

Introducing a difference between the resolution of an action and its execution seems to be iffy; the rules make no such distinction.

You can say exactly the same about most actions that change a state of target.

Which is why I suggest that Annotation 8 be amended to account for actions that do so.

An action that requires a target is considered to have the active condition that the target be in play when the action is declared and when it is resolved. The card must be in play when the action resolves, but when the action resolves, the card is moved out of play. When it resolves, not after it ...

Just a quick check: where is it written that the target of an action must be in play? Edit: never mind, found it under active conditions. Annotation 8 needs to be revised. It is impossible to bring any card to your hand from play, otherwise, because the card will not be in play when the action resol...

So, you lied through your teeth when you said you were done, and are now insisting that "Make an influence check as outlined above, with the following exceptions:" means This is an exception to the rules on playing factions. This is either falsehood or idiocy on your part, and I'm leaning toward the...

To influence an opponent's faction, you must make an influence check as outlined above . However, the following exceptions apply: · Instead of a mind attribute, the influence check uses the value usually required to bring the faction into play (as given on the faction's card). Good thing that when ...

Statements of ICE intent are wonderful. I wish we had more of them.

No rules specifically say not to use the standard modifications printed on the card if the influence attempt is cross-alignment. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: Influencing your opponent's resources and characters is handles just as it is in METW and MELE The influence check is modified b...

Actually, I'll simplify things immensely for you: any standard modifications for the character's race (heroes) or other factions in play (minions) This is referring to the alignment of the influencer, as it stands, without reference to any other material. Why? Because while factions may by *hero*, t...

No. I never said that a player would get a modification whether or not the faction was in play. It was merely your argument: The Digest doesn't use the word "applicable." In response to the question it says wizards use the standard modifications listed on the minion card. If I use the standard modi...

So you're now taking the position that it doesn't matter whether the listed faction for the Standard Modification is in play. You have to use it, no matter what, because the Digest said so, with no reference to whether the Standard Modification is applicable. If the alignment rule you made up was co...
