Rules questions to Hasbro

[bunjee]

Hasbro compiled Advanced FAQ - 407KB

This first post really really needs updating, but I can't do it today. For now, the best thing to do is read the Official FAQ linked above.

Ok, this topic hasn't been started here but it was wonderful on HSHQ so I'm porting over what I can. Because of the post loss that occurred at HSHQ there are things missing but we will work to rebuild it and start adding to it from here. Below is the initial post from HSHQ, as it was updated on Jan 23 2006. In the next few days I'm hoping to dig through some recent threads to add to this list (summon and carry for example).

Kenntak, this was your pet on HSHQ so I hope I'm not stepping on any plans you had. Jump in and edit this post as you see fit.

13 a) If you make a map that has two of the same attack bonus glyph, and you get a unit you control on each one, do your units get +2 attack?
13 a) Yes. If you have more than one of the same Glyph on the board, the enhancements stack, just like an enhancement from a Glyph, Height, and an Aura would all stack on one character.
*****b) Can a double-based flying unit land on two glyphs at once? In what order do they take effect?
*****b) Yes they can land on 2 glyphs at once. The Glyph under the leading Hex would take effect first, then the Glyph under the trailing hex.
*****c)Can an injured double-based flying unit land on two adjacent glyphs of kelda (healing) at the same time?
*****c) You guys are really trying to test me today aren't you! In this situation, No. Because you would land on the 1st Glyph of Kelda, be healed, and then Illegally be standing on the 2nd Glyph of Kelda. Per the rules "Only figures with one or more wound markers may stop on this Glyph. So the official answer would be no.
*****d) In the official rules, is it acceptable to make a map that has several glyphs stacked on top of each other on the same hex. (Such as putting a stack of healing glyphs on a space so that several units can heal there)
[Rÿchean]
*****d) We don't have official rules for stacking Glyphs. For now, unless a scenario text states otherwise, we only place one Glyph on a space. If you want to make special rules like that for a scenario, I would suggest that you state in the scenario rules that the Glyph of Kelda (in this scenario) has 5 charges in it (or however many you want for the specific campaign). Once it is used the specified amount of times, its power is exhausted and it is removed.

14. [Taelord and disengage added to the FAQ]

15. How do you determine adjacency for special abilities like Saylind's summoning, the Marden Hounds plague, Finn's attack aura, and the summoning glyph when there is a large height difference between two hexes that are next to each other?[Doesn'tCompute]

16. a) If Finn or Thorgrim is destroyed and placed on a card, and that card is then later destroyed, if a figure (or figures) from that card is revived and Finn/Thorgrim is not, does Finn/Thorgrim stay attached to that card? If not, why not?

*****b) If a Tagawa Samurai card has one or more experience markers on it when the entire squad is destroyed, and later one or more of those squad members is revived, do the experience markers stay? If not, why not?

*****c) If the Airborne Elite are all destroyed without using their grenade marker, and one or more are revied, do they continue to have the grenade marker?

*****d) If Morsbane is destroyed and still has some of it's Rod of Negation counters, and is revived, do the remaining counters stay on the card?

*****e) If Morsbane uses a Negation token against another card, and that card is destroyed and later revived, does the Negation marker stay on the card? [submitted by Sigmazero13]


16.**Jotun: Throw 14
Does a victim of Jotun's Throw 14 take "Falling Damage" in addition to the damage received from the throw itself?
Jotun's Army Card references throws on level terrain as well as higher terrain, but does not state rules in which Jotun throws the victim to lower levels that are still within clear sight.
1. What does “the height of Jotun” mean?
A: The "height of Jotun" is the level Jotun is on, plus his height of 10. For example, if Jotun were standing on the first level, he would need to toss someone up above level 11 (or on the top of level 11) in order to negate any throwing damage.

2. Are figures that are thrown subject to Falling damage?
A: No, throwing damage includes falling damage. You do not have to roll for falling damage separately.

3. Are thrown figures subject to Terrain damage (like Lava)?
A: Yes. You would roll for Terrain damage (if any) after any throwing damage.

17. Can an opponent’s adjacent Sacred Band member be affected by Sacred Band Defy Death 15?
A: No, only Sacred Band members that you control can be affected by Parmenio’s Sacred Band Defy Death 15.
