Re: AotP Question Dump

This is a question and a comment. The first scenario map set up created a Line of Sight issue. When the two ruins are next to one another as shown on the set up, there is a slight gap between them such that the other side can be seen. The question is whether or not that is intentional.

In theory, it allows summoning on the other side of the ruins and ranged attacks through the gap. In practice, we found it was a huge disadvantage for non-ranged figures with no good way to get around the ruin and, looking at the set up instructions showing a solid line there, we ruled that there is no visibility through that gap. Has anyone ruled differently? How's that working?

Interesting; the only constant table rule we use here in Scape is that you CAN't shoot between evergreen trees; a similar treatment.

Re: AotP Question Dump

I never liked ClassicScape's height-climb restriction. I feel if the figure has enough Move to move, he should be able to do it.

Did AotP trim this limitation, or did it adopt it?

Re: AotP Question Dump

I picked up a copy of this yesterday, after having read through the rules, I thought I had a pretty solid understanding. When I got to looking through the cards, I noticed that the Squads all have life totals of more than 1. How does one keep track of life totals per figure represented on the appropriate army card? Is there anything in the rulebook I may have missed that addresses this?

Re: AotP Question Dump

The rulebook screwed it up but you're supposed to put wound makers on the figure's base.

Re: AotP Question Dump

Can I use "misdirection" to move a hidden enchantment that has been flipped?


With "call to heel" does the attacker lose their attack or does the Unsummon happen after the roll?

Re: AotP Question Dump

My interpretation is that misdirection can move a hidden enchantment that has been flipped and that call to heel removes the attacker before the attack.

Re: AotP Question Dump

Nissa's Expedition: Does Nissa's Expedition effect her Sprint ability?

Dual Casting: Does the spell I cast as a result of casting Dual Casting count towards my 3-spell per turn limit?

Chandra's Outrage: If my opponent(s) only control Planeswalkers, can Chandra's Outrage still be cast?



In my opinion:

1: No, because Nissa's Sprint move value is a separate value from her natural move value. Think Ninjas of the Northern Wind with their disappearing act. It has a fixed value that is unchanged by modifiers, such as movement glyphs.

2: No, because if Dual Casting were cast ad my 3rd spell, its effect would have to be negated.

3: No, because Planeswalkers are not considered creatures, and with no creatures controlled by an opponent(s), there is no valid target. In the TCG, if I cast a spell which targets a creature, and that creature leaves play for whatever reason before my spell resolves, it's considered cast on an invalid target and it's effect is negated.


Thoughts from anyone else? These are just a few questions that came up during a 3-game cycle I played with a friend last night. I have a short background in M:tG, but we both are experienced Heroscape players.

My response is, yes it does. It reads; "Play a red sorcery from your graveyard that you played this turn," not "copy a red sorcery." I can't think of any AotP card currently that copies a spell, but in Magic, casting (or playing) a card is not the same as copying a card or effect (a copied spell or ability immediately goes on "The Stack" and not cast). Granted, WotC could just be trying to avoid the concept of "The Stack" even though its how you resolve multiple instances.

Dual Casting specifically states you must play a sorcery from your graveyard that you played this turn.

But I don't have a rulebook in front of me to see if there's an FAQ.
