Object Bio - Typically found at the North and South poles, these arctic formations are made entirely out of ice. Not many people or animals can dwell in the areas that these ice formations are native too, but of the few that can, some can even harness the wintery powers these land masses produce.

NAME = ICE ROCK

SECRET IDENTITY = DESTRUCTIBLE OBJECT

SIZE/HEIGHT = LARGE 7

LIFE = 1

DEFENSE = 7

GLACIAL HEALING
Instead of moving and attacking with a figure with the Ice Resistance special power adjacent to this Ice Rock, you may remove 1 Wound Marker from its card and place it on this card.

Re: The Book of Ice Rock
 

So, any number less than or equal to 1? :confused:

Re: The Book of Ice Rock
 

Yes. 0-1. Problem?

I do however like your suggestion from the Ice Hill thread a LOT.

Like it.

Re: The Book of Ice Rock
 

Here's where this belongs:

So when this is thrown up to 3 spaces by a figure with the Super Strength special power:

Does the tile go with it?
Does it land upright?

I'm guessing yes to both.

We'll need a ruling to clarify that it can't be thrown onto a water, swamp water, ice, shadow, or lava (now that would be funny) space.

Re: The Book of Ice Rock
 

The problem with throwing its tile with it is that the tiles will often be rooted to the map, and you'd have to tear up your map to throw it. So we'll have to allow for throwing it without the tile being included, and FAQ it.

Re: The Book of Ice Rock
 

OK, because from the Tundra rulebook:

"A Glacier Mountain must always sit on a Glacier Base when placed on the battlefield."

And 'Glacier Mountain' refers to any of the 4 types of glacier pieces.

Re: The Book of Ice Rock
 

OK, from the other thread:

As long as we're clear in the explanation to everyone else, I'm fine with it. But we might want to instantly destroy this one if it is thrown on a molten lava tile. That would just look really weird.

Re: The Book of Ice Rock
 

Tickle, Bats, and I discussed this last night, and though the rule book says that Glaciers MUST be placed on their Bases, these are not Glacier obstacles. We have taken the same terrain piece and made it into Ice (pieces) Destructible Objects. Like Tickle said, they actually stand up quite well without the ice tiles beneath them. No need to remove the base with it, only the piece itself - something we can FAQ or just release with its book as the official game has done with each new Destructible Object or Obstacle. With that, we also specify how it is to be placed (or thrown if it is the Ice Rock) on the battlefield - upright.

The game rules state that terrain is not allowed to be placed on any "water" or "0 height" tile. But Destructible Objects don't have that rule because they are not "terrain" specifically, they are more. However, I don't see why we would try to prevent these or any DOs from being thrown on "water" tiles, including Lava. Why should we be afraid of doing that?

Re: The Book of Ice Rock
 

We have expanded on the official rules that DOs can equate to figures, so they would roll for the damage though automatically. If you look at the Volcarren rulebook, it just says when "figures" move on to the Molten lava they roll for damage. That means that these would as well.

Re: The Book of Ice Rock
 

Then that's easy.
