Re: The Book of Deathreavers
If a Deathreaver's Defense value is reduced to 0 and then is attacked, would it trigger Scatter since it didn't roll any dice for defense?

If a power says that the figure cannot roll any defense dice, then they could not scatter. |

Re: The Book of Deathreavers
Megasilver is correct. There is a difference between "rolling zero" and "being unable to roll".

Even R˙chean had ruled that. |

The community is in 100% consensus when a power specifically says that the opponent cannot roll defense vs. powers like Scatter, and that is that Scatter cannot activate. Megasilver (and several others) however, do not extend that negation of Scatter to powers which reduce defense dice by some set number, whereas I (and others) do when the defense reach zero. Megasilver, etc. contend that the opponent is still rolling when their defense is reduced to zero dice, and that they are simply "rolling zero," but I cannot see any practical difference between the two ideas (rolling zero vs. not rolling) and contend that therefore the effect should be the same. My point of view comes from reading the Deathreavers card, which says Quote:
I have been a tournament director several times now, and although it has not come up, I would rule that way because it is the most logical to me. |

Re: The Book of Deathreavers
This was officially FAQ'd back in the day.
Tournament Armies Played - C3VRP - Customs - Trades I'm Krug in the Paradox Keep and Augamo on the Sacred Tundra. |

Re: The Book of Deathreavers
I checked the FAQ on the FAQ page: http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=432
and it is not there, so I'll have to disagree that it was officially ruled on in that way. I apologize if it was, but you'll have to show me. I have only ever seen "this is how I play" statements, which are not official. Without an official ruling, I think the most logicial, consistent, and direct way to play should rule. I hope I made mine clear. |

In the D&D rulebook Page 6 it defines the Defense Value as "the number of dice you roll to defend." Example: what about the Venoc Vipers? They have a natural Defense of 0 ... but I assume they are just rolling zero-dice |

Re: The Book of Deathreavers
BurnyFlame can play it however he wants, and as he said, it almost never comes up, but R˙chean clearly stated that the designers said that 0 defense dice is not the same as no defense dice.
