Academy misplay.

[IndyPendant]

Hi all.

I love Mage Wars.  I currently own 3 Cores, 5-ish Spell Tomes, a half dozen extra spellbooks, and every expansion put out so far.  I've kind of drifted away from Mage Wars over the last year and a half, due primarily to an *insane* difficulty in finding sufficient opponents where I live (Vancouver, Canada).  Tonight though, I happened to meet one of the few (read: two) other people I know that play it here, and he busted out the copy of Academy he purchased at Gencon.

Edit: The rest of this post can be ignored now, thanks to Halewijn.  Turns out my query was a misplay: Stagger seemed to be a permanent condition!  Needless to say, that skewed the game radically.  It's not, so editing my post appropriately.  Nothing to see here, move along, and thanks Halewijn! ; )

I don't own academy since I cannot buy it yet. But if I remember correctly, stagger is removed the same way as daze. After the creatures action phase.

So yes, I think you are overreacting a bit

I hope so!  I love Mage Wars, and it would seem weird to me that this would pass playtesting when AW seems to do such a great job otherwise. ; )

I'll wait for someone to quote the specific rule, and if I get that confirmation, then I'll edit my original post accordingly.  (Just in case; wouldn't want someone debating picking it up turned off by a chicken-little post.  --I hope it's chicken-little anyway!)

Read the text under the genie. I was correct. So no need to think AW blew it.

Works for me!  Thanks, Halewijn.  Original post edited out, as promised.

Relieved AW and Mage Wars fan here, now going to bed.  G'night! : )
