A debate is for understanding the rules? Seems odd to me. You ask a question; you receive the answer. Why the debate?

If it doesn't say SPECIAL ATTACK, then it's a special ability. Special abilities can modify normal attacks.

That is it; end of "debate."
Why strange ? Is it strange understanding a rule without accepting it like a dogma ? In my opinion no.

This is the the answer that makes finish the debate, not your answer, because it explains and justify the rule:

Quote:
A normal attack uses the base attack value that is printed on every card. Some special powers like +2 Broadsword add to that printed base value, as do some glyphs and height advantage but as long as you are including the base attack value in the attack it is still considered to be a normal attack.

Actually anything said by R˙chean is acceptable as Dogma, cause well he is one of the "Rule Guys", (I don't know the official title). It would be like Truth or Gbob answering a question.

It is easy not to know this fact if you are new, or seldom online. However the Answer you quoted was definitally the best, it was just such a simple questions that everyone assumed their answers were sufficent.

Whether or not you have a valid complaint about some wording in the rules is one issue. However, the correct answer has been given to you regarding special attacks.

I'd be in that category. Of course, as Presbyterians, we would need to shortly split the thread into several other denominational threads and then those sub-threads into other threads as well.

I'll start a committee to discuss the formation of the Committee on Presbyterian Heroscape Threads. You in?

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

Hi all,

I had a question about Fortress Wall placement and hope this is the thread for it. I've always thought I couldn't place Fortress Wall bases on Level 1 (on the table top surface). This was based on the following sections of the FotA rulebook:

Quote:
How to Build Fortress Walls: Fortress walls may be built on any normal terrain such as grass, sand, rock, etc.

...

Fortress Walls may not sit on water tiles or other tile considered to have no height.
My thinking was, the walls had to be built on top of normal terrain tiles, so the table top was out. Just recently, however, it was brought to my attention that wall bases on Level 1 were permitted, and LongHeroscaper's BOV map "The Broken Skyline" offered as an example. Discussion thread located here.

The issue also just recently surfaced in the BOV discussion thread. Many posters initially chimed in that wall bases could be placed on the table top. But quickly, there were references pointing to BOV rejections based on such placement. Relevant thread here.

I've read through the terrain section of the FAQs (Version 11.3), and didn't find a ruling on wall placement. Has this issue been addressed by Hasbro/WotC? Are maps that use the placement legal?

When building maps, I'd love be able to save tiles and place wall bases on Level 1. But I also want my maps (most of them at least) to be built according to the rules.

Thanks,

~tgx

The rules definitely say not to, but I've seen several maps that do it anyways. I've never found an issue with it, myself, and I don't really see how it could break anything. It does look a little displeasing aesthetically, though.
