Character Bio - Carl Sands was a career criminal who was conducting experiments on shadow projection while in jail, which allows him to make contact with an alien explorer named Thar Dan from the Xarapion dimension. In return for saving the creature's life, Sands was given a device known as a Dimensiometer and a pair of ebony gloves that allows him to hold objects while in shadow form.

-Rulings and Clarifications-
  • Q: If Shadow Thief is the only figure you control on the battlefield, can he still use Dimensiometer?
  • A: No, if you do, you will have no figures left on the battlefield and will lose.
  • Q: Can I steal an Equipment Glyph without using Dimensiometer first?
  • A: No, the only way you can steal an Equipment Glyph is by placing Shadow Thief adjacent to the figure when he is coming off of his card.
  • Q: Can Shadow Thief use Dimensiometer to place a glyph on his Army Card he could not normally equip?
  • A: No, he is equipping the glyphs when he steals them. - Margloth
  • Q: If Shadow Thief is on his card, are glyphs on his Army Card active?
  • A: Maybe. What is "active"? If "active" to you means that the glyph is still in play and can affect the game, then your answer is: YES, it is still active. However, if there are specific restrictions on the glyph like its holder must have Clear Line of Sight, must be on a water space, etc., then the glyph is still in play but it is not affecting the game. Your question can really only be answered depending on which Equipment Glyph is in question. An example of how an Equipment Glyph can still be "active" or affect the game while Shadow Thief is holding it and on his card (not destroyed) could be a Equipment Glyph of Probability that adds +5 to your initiative roll. - Griffin
  • Q: Can Shadow Thief use Dimensiometer even when he is affected by another special power that prevents him from moving?
  • A: Yes. The Dimensionmeter special power removes Shadow Thief from the battlefield and is NOT considered moving.
