I'll draw a card, and then assuming it doesn't revolutionize the modern world, I'll probably have the vampire take a swing at the enemy fighter.

Okay, so my Fighter doesn't actually die until the end of the wave, right? So I'll transfer a damage to my Knight to keep him kicking, which is a free action.

How do corpses work? Do they block lines or are they just ignored?

# ? Sep 10, 2014 17:57

Tollymain: Jul 9, 2010; by Jeffrey of YOSPOS

mostly they're just blocking you from placing a new dude there immediately. some leaders have special rules regarding them (adjenna's leader ability is brutal). if you're going to revive them using i think the only PixTac 1 card that can do it (priestess), you gotta leave them put, can't save them after they're cleared

# ? Sep 10, 2014 18:09

Tollymain: Jul 9, 2010; by Jeffrey of YOSPOS

but for the purposes of all attacks they generally don't block anything

# ? Sep 10, 2014 18:10

Spincut: Jan 14, 2008; Oh! OSHA gonna make you serve time!

Okay, gotcha.

I'll play Assassin as an order and defeat the Vampire. Then I'll attack with the Fighter (Arec chooses who I hit).

Also, would it be possible to keep like one of the first posts updated with the current state of the field and all characters' abilities? I think that might help since I had to scour the thread for what everything did.

Tollymain posted:

>> Arec's Paladin makes a Melee attack against Khadath's Fighter! Khadath's Fighter takes 4 damage!

I'm not sure the Paladin can attack like this. There's a friendly unit in front of her (the Trapper), so she wouldn't be able to make a melee attack:

Per the rules:

quote:

Melee Attacks

A melee attack must target the foremost opposing hero or leader in a single column (see the example on the right). A melee attack does damage to the target equal to the attacker�s power. All heroes and leaders are capable of making melee attacks. A melee attack cannot be used if a friendly hero or leader is standing in front of the attacking card. A hero or leader is considered to be �in melee� if it is capable of making and receiving melee attacks.

e: Or, a simpler explanation:

quote:

Only the foremost hero in each column is considered to be �in Melee�. Only these heroes/leaders can perform melee attacks and be hit by melee attacks.

weird, i thought it was different. welp.

so, how do we want to fix this? rewind or just allowing a different retroactive action?

Spincut: Jan 14, 2008; Oh! OSHA gonna make you serve time!

Eh, that was far enough back that it'd just be a pain right now. I'm fine letting it happen and just moving on at this point.

# ? Sep 10, 2014 23:32

Heatwizard: Nov 6, 2009

The trapper grants ranged attacks to whoever's behind him. That's why I put him there. :v:

And Arec will take the melee attack on the chin.

# ? Sep 12, 2014 05:05

Heatwizard: Nov 6, 2009

Oh, that's right, it's my turn again! Arec kills the alchemist, and then sweeps the corpses out of the front row.

# ? Sep 12, 2014 08:48

Tollymain: Jul 9, 2010; by Jeffrey of YOSPOS

you can only clear one corpse, which one do you want to dispose of

# ? Sep 12, 2014 20:58

The Knight will take enough damage to keep the Alchy alive (just 1, I think?).

Khadath will shoot Arec.

Clear the Zerker corpse.

# ? Sep 15, 2014 04:56

Tollymain: Jul 9, 2010; by Jeffrey of YOSPOS

See, the funny thing about damage being able to go into negatives is, sometimes you want to put in that overkill so you can make it a lot harder to save their hero.

Heatwizard, you're up!

In other news, I saw Pixel Tactics 3 in the LGS and I want... it..........

# ? Sep 15, 2014 07:42

Heatwizard: Nov 6, 2009

Paladin will shoot the fighter, Dragon Mage will shoot the knight. Unless the knight takes all the paladin's damage, in which case the dragon mage just shoots the fighter again.
