Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
This is similar to the trick where Eltahale can move farther than you'd think with Thunder Step by jumping to the far side of a large figure.

Or a grenade can affect 8 or 12 figures instead of just up to 6.

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
Moltenclaw is easily one of my new favorite heroes, even though he's not a proper dragon. That special attack is ridiculously powerful, and I enjoy setting him on a high point, acting as a high-casualty turret.

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
They should simply have made him Large, IMO. After all, Othkurik's power is no less impressive than the other dragons' powers. That said, while I have yet to use him, I can definitely see him being a lot of fun and quite powerful.

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
I agree, I was surprised to see he is huge. Large is much more appropriate.

All of the previous dragons, except for Mimring, have titles such as King, Queen and Emporer which suggests they are the mightiest and most ancient of their kind. If you go by how the old D & D world works, dragons grow for their entire lifetimes and the most ancient wyrms dwarf their younger adult counterparts. Othkurik is listed as young and Molten Claw is a prince rather than a King which suggests he is also a younger dragon, probably just a century or two. Both dragons still tower over the human figures. |

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
This is an unlikely and weird circumstance, but the text for Burning Breath special attack says, "Moltenclaw can not be affected by Burning Breath Special Attack", not just his own Burning Breath Special attack, like the text of many special attacks affecting multiple units (Zelrig, James Murphy, etc). So, if 2 opposing armies both have Moltenclaw, then one Moltenclaw can only hurt the other one with a normal attack, not his special. It's worth mentioning before it comes up in a tournament or something.

So yeah, I was just going by the strict reading of the card, if there's an errata, that should be the way to play it. Do you remember where you say that ruling? Edit: I just looked through his pre-release discussion and didn't see anything about this, but that's only one thread. I did a quick search for his special attack, and didn't see anything there either, but I didn't do a real deep investigation of this. Last edited by Red_Sox_1; June 21st, 2011 at 12:06 AM. |

Re: The Book of Moltenclaw
If Moltenclaw wasn't affected by his own Special Attack, it might be more thematic to say "figures with Lava Resistance are not affected by..." This would be similar to how the Fire Elemental operates. I've been doing something like this or adding defense dice to such figures with several fire powers on my customs, and I may start house ruling that Fire Line and other fire themed attacks work the same.
However, I wouldn't think this is a Taelord Stealth Flying type oversight, where we are missing a few words like "any player's Moltenclaw's Special Attack." I would expect this was an attempt to streamline the language on the card or a simple mistake. Two players' Moltenclaws should be able to affect each other with their Special Attacks. However, there is no correction/clarification/errata/adjustment on the FAQ (which I assume is the most recent one available) available here: http://www.heroscapers.com/community...read.php?t=432 |
