Title: Attack Dice and/or Effect Dice Modifiers
Post by: Stormmaster on August 26, 2013, 09:23:34 AM
I'm a little embarassed to even ask this question, it should be simple but I guess I'm just not 100% sure so figured I'd just ask.

When a card says +2 Fire
Does that mean if it is attacked with a fire based attack...
A) 2 additional attack dice are rolled
B) 2 is added to the effect die roll
C) A+B (+2 attack dice + 2 to effect die)

Similarly if armor says -2 Fire or -3 Air etc does that work the same as above?

* bonus question (but related)
Wall of Thorns gets +2 Fire damage
If a fire attack with burning was tossed at it can the Wall of Thorns catch on fire and have a burn counter placed on it, or are conjurations immune to effects like that.  Since wall of thorns says it is "living" I didn't know if that meant it could be effected by things that effect living creatures or if it is immune because it is a conjuration. 
Can you heal conjurations?  Like because it is living can you heal it?

Are walls different then other conjurations?  Or is a conjuration a conjuration.  Like a Mana Flower can you heal a flower since it is living?  Can it be effected by effects similarly to creatures?  Can you burn a Mana Flower etc?

Same question for non wall conjurations/non living conjurations can they be effected by stuff like burning?

C

Yes.

Can have a burn.

Can remove damage in principle but need to look at target requirements on the 'heal' spells. Conjuration not creature.
Probably some Druid love coming soon....

Yes.

Burn your house down, little piggy wiggy.

The FAQ has a very nice chart that I have printed out and keep with me in game for reference.

Only Damage Types (Flame/Lightning) and/or Creature Type/Traits (Flying/Non-Living) get modifiers on both the Attack and Effect Dice.

You can also search in the forums, under Resoucers and Downloads... a post named OFFICIAL Mage Wars FAQ, wich contains a pdf of FAQS... there you can find (page 9 to be exact) a really really helpful topic... called:

TRAITS WHICH MODIFY DICE

There you can find what Traits, Modify What Die/Dice...
Fire+X, or any other Damage Type + Both Modify the Attack and Effect Dice/Die
Same as +X vs. Creature Type/Trait ( for example: +2 vs. Flying) Also Modify both the Attack and Effect Dice/Die.

Also here is a picture of my dog, :D

What with dogs and piggy wiggys, this thread is becoming dangerously off topic...

Thanks folks.  I was kind of thinking C was the answer.

I was a bit more confused on the 'can you applying condition markers to conjurations'.  So thanks for answering that question as well.  I didn't think conjurations could have conditions I thought it was only creatures could, so that was my confusion.
