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.

Strategy and Tactics / More newbie help
« on: April 01, 2013, 01:58:40 AM »
First of all, I'm loving the game still.  Played about 8 games now, still just in apprentice mode as I'm still teaching new players.  But it's all still good.


Some early comments if people can help me out.

Playing against the wizard.  First turn, he summons a wand and puts a lightning bolt in it.  Then proceeds to keep blasting me every turn, often stunning me, meaning I can only cast quick spells.  I was playing warlock and he stayed at range 2 so I couldn't do explode or drain life.

Any tips?


Secondly, as the priest, cards were played that made the zone super safe, so the priest never left that zone and would not leave.  The other player would have been severely disadvantaged by moving in there, so the game ended up in a bit of a stalemate.

Thanks all
