Rules Discussion / Counter strike when dead
« on: April 02, 2013, 06:06:44 PM »
Sorry if this has been asked before, I looked in the rules section and couldn't find it.
I also have no idea why this question hasn't cropped up before in the 8 or so games I've played, but it did occur tonight.
We did find a thread on BGG which Bryan replied to though saying that if a creature is killed, damage barriers still count but counter strike doesn't. We scoured the rulebook for this and couldn't find anything, but it's such a big thing, I was expecting it to be present in the forum here. Looks like the FAQ entry is empty. I thought this one would definitely be an FAQ.
The way I saw it is that when you are on guard, or you have counter strike, you are hitting them whilst they are hitting you. Ht it seems the ruling has gone the other way, and if the attack kills you, no counterstrike.
