Hiho there

One quick question about the condition "stuck".

Can I have the condition marker "stuck" several times on a creature and if so, do I have to roll for each "stuck" separately to get rid of it?
Or one die roll to get rid of all "stuck" markers in one go?

I would say I can have multiple "stuck" on a creature and have to roll for each separately - what do you think?

hiho there

A question about weak in combination with multiple attacks.

The diagramm on page 5 of the "Mage Wars Official Rules And Codex Supplement" shows the rules for modifying the attack dice of the various traits and if all attacks are modified or just the first attack.

A Darkfenne Hydra enchanted with Bear Strength for example will only have its first attack of the Triplestrike modified to 5 attack dice, the other two attacks will be with the unmodified three dice.

What about the condition "Weak" in this regard? Will a Hydra with 2 Weak counters on it only have its first attack modified to just one die to roll, or will all three attacks of the Triplestrike be affected?

Thanks.

@silverclawgrizzly: Expensive but nice to have against fatties like bear strengthened pet grizzly for example...^^

@Mrmt: What Aylin said nails it. 

First time using this card tonight. It does appear to be a remarkably powerful effect for the cost - an extra 3 attack dice for the mage... and a potential get our of jail (defence) for a mere 5 mana. well, and upkeep, of course, but with a psi-orb that is dealt with.

Yep, but keep in mind that Psi-Orb is "Mind Mage only", so the Psi-Orb + Dancing Scimitar combo is not for everyone and as the Forcemaster is very limited in creature casting because of the high deck building costs for all "Non-Mind" creatures she depends on other useful cards like said combo.
Also the scimitar's defense is only working against melee, so not overly powerful in my eyes.
But yes, still a good card... 

Ok, so no wall guarding. Thanks for sorting that out.

The November 28, 2013 Supplement has clarified this section of the rules. It now reads:
"If there is an enemy Guard (a creature with a guard marker) in a zone, then you cannot melee attack any object in that zone other than enemy Guards. This condition is checked when the attack is declared."

That, and also in the german rules it says (translated): "If a creature is in a zone with one or more enemy creatures that are guarding, it may not make a melee attack against a creature without a guard marker. Exceptions are guards it can ignore, see sidebar."

I am part of the german Mage Wars realisation team (I am lector) and I know that our responsible persons do confer with the US team before the rules are printed, thus I take this as a hint how the rule might have been meant in the first place.

Im pretty sure the reason why this is in the FAQ is to solve the problems with guards not protecting conjurations from flying creatures.
There are a few badly worded clarifications in the FAQ that and this could be one of them.

I put my money on guards will protect walls still. (obviously only if the attack occurs in the zone that the guard is in.)

Because of what I have posted above I would gladly accept the bet and say guards do only guard creatures in their own zone but I think we will have to wait till we get an "official" answer by someone of the US Mage Wars team.

Hi

My first post here, so greetings to all. 

This has already been discussed but the system advised to start a new topic since the old thread is more than 60 days old, so there. 

History:
I am the new chap in the lector team (doing the proofreading) for the german realisation of Mage Wars.
The core set has already been published and at the moment we are working on the Forcemaster vs. Warlord expansion.
Nevertheless we also strive to make the german version of the core set even better and seek to eliminate any mistakes that slipped in for the printing of a possible second edition.
This leads me to my questions:

In the codex of the german core set rules it explicitly states that in case of Sweeping, Doublestrike and Triplestrike you only roll the "Daze die" once for all attacks of the attack action. Either all attacks of that attack action fail, or not.

But the US errata (perhaps ) says otherwise:

Daze
The chance to miss is always rolled for at the end the Declare Attack Step, or when the attack starts (if there is no Declare Attack Step).

This is necessary, because some attacks do not have a Declare Attack Step, like the second and third
strikes of a Triplestrike attack. A Dazed creature must roll for each attack it makes, including all 3 strikes
of a Triplestrike attack, or both attacks of a Sweeping attack.

I am not a native english speaker, so I am not sure if I get the whole meaning of this.
I understand that for example in case of Triplestrike all three attacks are affected by Daze, not just the first attack.

But:

Does it mean I roll once and that die roll counts for each of the three attacks (which would confirm the german rules),

or:

does it it mean I roll three times, once for each of the three attacks seperately (which would contradict the german rules)?


A plea to those who answer:
Anyone here is welcomed to share his opinion on this matter but please understand that it would be best for me to also have an answer by someone "official" of the US Mage Wars Developing Team.

So please also state in your answer if you are a private person giving a private opinion, or if you are someone  of the "official" Mage Wars Team giving a valid official rules clarification that I can use as a basis for a change of the german rule book.

Thanks in advance and not to forget:

A happy New Year!
