Re: Standard Modifications (overhaul)

I haven't tried to keep up with everything transpiring word for word. I think the quote I'm adding below is still relevant, but correct me if not and I'll redact. There are simply no rules that a Wizard player can follow that allow them to interpret (for any effect) the meaning of standard modificat...

Re: Non-minion agents as creatures

So perhaps my proposal also should include the amendment to MELE: - An agent (Wizard player only for minion agents ) However, this is not needed and the proposal is misleading. For wizard players, agents count as half a creature regardless of whether they are minion agents or non-minion agents. I g...

Re: Non-minion agents as creatures

The phase "agents included in deck as a hazards" may be confusing to in that case. Appreciated, but your current framing the first "Note" is similarly confusing in that it is adding to the preceding list without saying that it is adding to the preceding list. The original Note s...

Re: Non-minion agents as creatures

Added non-Balrog clause to proposal. Perhaps it should be a distinct proposal, but it aligns with thinking that the current CRF rule is full of oversights.

Re: Mount Slain

But the discarding is an effect and not a condition. Annotation 8: 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. All three could be played in the same chain of effects targeting the same Ri...

Re: Standard Modifications (overhaul)

Still, it is unclear how my tone is any "less-down" than your tone. Really? Are you just accidentally typing every possible pairing of bold italic underline large-font capslock name-calling? The section on influencing opponent's factions is NOT bulleted and so it is NOT a Ringwraith only ...

Re: Region types in card text

Umm . . . you may want to look at the *other* half of Wizard's Trove. Deliberately replaces a "reference" (exact quote) in the card text. I would think that for us to be able to determine " Any reference to the site where the card can normally be stored", they need to be entitie...

Re: Region types in card text

Only our stubbornness prevents it. No. Negative definition of entity prevents it. There is no (or is but I do not know it) positive definition of entity usable in the game. Negative definition of entity is: "Something what describes an entity is not entity itself". The implication of this...

Re: MPs for Trophies

In my opinion, summaries are not a solid basis for rule revision. If they contained all of the details, there would be no reason to call them summaries.

Re: Region types in card text

Some possible targets are: characters, corruption checks, strike dice rolls, items, sites, and companies. This suggest that there are "things" that are not possible targets. Suggestion is the enemy of clarity. When ICE wants something to affect/alter card text, they tell us that. See Webs...

Re: Region types in card text

CDavis, I appreciate you expressing your opinion on rule interpretations and furthermore hope that you do so via the vote itself. However, you claim to have other's interests in mind, but your intolerance for anyone having a different opinion on interpretations than you is destructive of open discus...

What? Half-orcs are still orcs, and can take trophies under the normal trophy rules.

Re: Region types in card text

Prowess and body are not entities. They are attributes describing entities. How do we know that textual instances cannot also be targetable entities? Some possible targets are: characters, corruption checks, strike dice rolls, items, sites, and companies. Any "thing" could hypothetically ...

Region types in card text

The simple answer: No, because Withered Lands targets Region Types and the [-me_wi-] symbol in the card text of Framsburg is not a Region Type itself, just a reference to Region Types on creatures (see MELE p.26 and the color insert). Agreed. And very well put. Could a reference be provided for thi...
