Re: Creatures played as an automatic-attack (playabilty conditions)

Throwing out anything with a condition seems like too big of a shift. If any change is necessary (maybe folks with more competition experience could weigh in?), I think the natural re-interpretation should be that the keyability conditions must be satisfied as they would normally to actually be able...

Re: Request: enable strikethrough text

Hah, awesome. Hopefully won't find too many uses for it. :roll: Thanks!

Re: Standard Modifications (overhaul)

@ Theo: If I influence my opponent's faction, can I search through my play deck/discard pile/sideboard to find my copy of that card for Sentinels of Numenor? Since the only requirement is to influence a faction, and I clearly can't place my opponent's faction under the card, and there is no mention...

Re: Standard Modifications (overhaul)

"Place any such faction" wording on Sentinels of Numenor does not specify that it must be the faction card that was influenced. Influencing any version of the faction would count as the faction having been influenced, so as long as Sentinels of Numenor was in play when opponent's faction ...

Re: Standard Modifications (overhaul)

Faction cards are not influence check modifier cards. A revealed faction is neither played nor are its Standard Modifications an ability, so they could not fit into the "other modifications" bullet. (underline mine) Standard Modifications on a faction card apply when influencing that card...

Re: Standard Modifications (overhaul)

BRINGING A FACTION INTO PLAY In order to play a faction card, you must tap one of your characters that is at the "site" indicated on the faction's card. Then you must make an influence check. Make a roll (2D6), add your character's unused direct influence, and add any appropriate modifica...

Re: Standard Modifications (overhaul)

Indeed, the Influencing an Opponent's Faction rules have roll modifications only based on the card you are trying to influence. A revealed faction only sets the "value to bring the faction into play" goal to zero.

Re: Standard Modifications (overhaul)

Oh shoot. A Few Recruits breaks the consistency: It does not break. The modifications are not Standard Modifications. I would think "affect an influence check the same way" would include requirements for whether they are applied. But then, of course, Dragon modifications wouldn't fall und...

Re: Standard Modifications (overhaul)

Oh shoot. A Few Recruits breaks the consistency (regardless of whether the Balrog Summary refers to player influencing or faction being influenced): Modifications: The Balrog (+3), leader (+2). Surely the modifications seem intended to be used. I blame their rush to print? But I would have no proble...

Re: Standard Modifications (overhaul)

As RW player, I go to Wellinghall to influence my opponent's Ents of Fangorn faction. My opponent has the Hobbits faction in play. Do I, as a RW player, get a +4 standard modification to the influence attempt as listed on the faction card? At the moment this seems true, if not intended. Hobbits fac...

Re: Standard Modifications (overhaul)

I think that Balrog summary (not only in the fragment) is incomplete and inaccurate. Whether to interpret "(heroes)", "(minions)" as alignment of players (lack of coverage of FW player), or whether to interpret it as race of influencer (lack of coverage of Radagast's Black Bird)...

Re: Standard Modifications (overhaul)

Beasts of the Wood and Wild Hounds modifications are self-contained; they explicitly state the requirement that must be met for the bonus. "Men (+1)" is different from "If the influencing character is a Man (+1)". The second of these, also self contained, I would have no problem ...

Re: Determining a presence of a site (of given type) in game

If Doors of Night is not in play, it is definitively not the case that Smaug is playable at a region other than a Coastal Sea, as required by Long Dark Reach.
