Stage Resources, Black players, and Warlords questions
Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2024 6:36 pm
Been down the Rabbit-hole, looking for help on a few questions I can't seem to find the answers to-
1) What is the purpose of having stage points associated with minion resources? Most appear to be playable only by Ringwraith or Black player only. I don't see that a Fallen-wizard or Lord-player could utilize these cards, and I don't see any mechanism that requires counting stage points for Black players.
2) Are there stage resources that a Black player could utilize once they have gathered enough stage points? I'm not seeing any currently that require a threshold to use. Or, is there some mechanism that can turn a Fallen-wizard into a Black player that can then utilize some of these alignment-restricted stage resources?
3) Does the above suggest that players other than White players can utilize the general use stage resources designed for Fallen-wizards and Lord-players? e.g., 'Never Refuse', or 'A Merrier World'. I interpreted it as a one-way design with player alignment and use.
4) I am not finding any mechanism that would allow a non- Orc or Troll character to become a Warlord, which seems to be a strictly Black player mechanic. Is there something I am missing, or is this a design being worked on with the anticipated DC: Kingdom of the North expansion? Otherwise, 'Gift of Deceit' Command card doesn't seem to have a purpose, yet.
