Attack Dice and/or Effect Dice Modifiers
« 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.

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.
