Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
Rules Lawyer Question: Figures like Raelin read that she's not affected by her own Aura.
Moltenclaw's Army Card does not read that he is not affected by his own Burning Breath Special Attack. It reads, Moltenclaw is not affected by Burning Breath Special Attack. Since they left out "his own" does that mean he's not affected by enemy Burning Breath Special Attacks? |

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
This was discussed at some length on pages two through three, and I don't think there was an "official" answer. Thee wasn't anything that I could find in the FAQ either. It's a good question and I can see both sides of the conversation.
That being said, I *think* it is just an attempt to streamline the wording on the card. It's not like he is immune to Mimring's fire line attack. So it's not like he is immune to all fire based attacks or anything. But I understand those who use the strictest reading of the card. Last edited by hose; June 28th, 2015 at 11:38 AM. |

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
So, the "4 spaces in a straight line from the target figure", does that straight line have to be in the same direction from Moltenclaw, or as long as you hav eline of sight, can it make a 90degree turn? So your overall attack is a big "L"?

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
That's how I read it. The L method

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
It could even be a line coming back towards Moltenclaw. Doesn't make much sense, but it's how it's written.

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
Note that the first target doesn't have to be in a straight line of hexes from Moltenclaw---it can be anyone within four spaces. I see it as a fire-bomb-thingy that lands on the target and then shoots off in a straight line after that.

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
An interesting issue came up at our most recent game night involving moltenclaw.
Can he attack the same figure twice? For instance, can he target a double spaced unit 4 spaces away, then attack in another line from the doule space figure’s second hex, and cross paths with his first line of attack? This allows a figure adjacent to the two space figure to be attacked twice. However, the special says to roll attack dice once for all affected figures.... but nothing about rolling defense dice only once |

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
I'm not sure that I quite understand the scenario. You only choose one straight line of hexes, so if it's a double-spaced figure, then you'd have to pick one hex as the start of your line (much like Mimring). I don't think it's possible to "cross paths" as a result.
If you were referring to the double-spaced figure (by targeting one hex and extending the line in a way that it encompasses the other one), then the figure would still only be affected by the attack once. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
No, no, for instance:
0 = Hex d = double spaced figure F = figure (M)m = (Moltenclaw) and his line of attack 000d00000 .00dF00000 00000m000 .000000m00 00000000M and the second line of attack: 000d00000 .00dFmmm0 000000000 .00000000 00000000M therefore hitting single space figure F twice. Would figure F roll defense twice because the path crosses it twice? The card doesn't say defending figures only roll once |

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
I think I see the problem. The spaces between the targeted figure and Moltenclaw are not also affected by the attack; instead, it is simply like you are using Mimring's Fire Line Special Attack from a different figure within 4 spaces of Moltenclaw. As a result, he can only draw one of those lines per attack, so there's no need to worry about him crossing over the same figure twice.

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
Oh, ok. We were all under the impression that moltenclaw was able to use the attack to the targeted figure, then four spaces from it. This makes a lot more sense. Thank you
