Re: The Book of Eilan Sidhe
So is this card saying you can choose a tree 4 spaces away from the Eilan and move anywhere adjacent to that tree. Or pick a tree and move 4 spaces from your current space adjacent to that tree?

Both conditions must apply. What's happening here is magical movement from one tree/bush to another, so there must be adjacency at both ends. It is, you might say, situationally useful. The target tree or bush must be, as the card says, within 4 clear sight spaces of the moving figure, not the vegetation next to that figure. Does that help? |

Re: The Book of Eilan Sidhe
Not only that, but it's *before* taking a turn, and it's *all* of them. So it's very powerful, on the right map. On the wrong map, of course, they'll be sad.

Re: The Book of Eilan Sidhe
Looks like these are no longer available out there. Is there a proxy?

Re: The Book of Eilan Sidhe
@coachmuskie
Reaper Bones also has a sculpt called Drys, Dryad that is a solid proxy for these - pretty much the same size and posed very similarly, although it is unpainted. There should be a direct link to it in the Alternate Sculpts thread Dad_Scaper put together, I believe, but if not I can find one for you.

The question arises because the text is a bit ambiguous on whether the "within 4 clear sight spaces" constraint applies to the adjacent space or to the tree or bush. Anyway it seems an R&C would be helpful here, since one can read the limitation as applying to the space or to the tree/bush (and hence probably why 20BlackPearls asked the question in the first place). Speaking of bushes: Quote:

Re: The Book of Eilan Sidhe
Spaces cannot be in "clear sight" of any figure, because clear sight requires actually seeing something from the figure's sight point. A "space" is more of a concept and has nothing physical to be looked at. "Clear sight" must be to a physical object, in this case a tree. Yes, an Eilan Sidhe can potentially move 7 spaces with this movement.
I agree with your analysis on "bush," but if memory serves, the use of "tree" and "bush" was us defining new terms to cover any new terrain pieces we might create. "Tree" currently covers Evergreen Tree and Palm Tree, and "bush" covers Underbush, without any real confusion. Any terrain pieces we make in the future would need to be classified as "tree" or "bush" if they were to potentially fit in those categories. There was some push to give Wildwoods the species "Tree" to give them additional Eilan Sidhe synergy. It was shot down, in part because I wasn't comfortable with "tree" covering both terrain and a species. A clever thought regardless. |

Re: The Book of Eilan Sidhe
Thanks for the quick reply. To keep things manageable, for now I'll just respond to the outside parts of your post and leave the more complex middle part for later.

Thus, unless I'm missing something, I'm still forced to conclude that it was reasonable for 20BlackPearls to wonder which interpretation was intended, and that an R&C would be a reasonable thing to consider. (Or alternatively, perhaps a recast of the power text that does not allow the sentence to be parsed two different ways, but I'll wager that's less appealing to the Rules Team.)

Even still, it's easily confused and could use an R&C. I'd normally run this by the rest of the Rules Team, but this won't be controversial. Quote:
