The changes will be posted to the online REG periodically and dated here along with the changes made.

First update was made on August 23, 2007.

Changes since August 23, 2007

I will be uploading all new card descriptions sometime in September. There are going to be "identifiers" on all cards, providing all the list information currently found in the glossary for each card. It is the same style as the "play as", provided to aid players understand and use a card. The info is in mos cases NOT printed on the card - you'll only find these identifiers in the REG online.

Holy Grail clarifications were either corrected or deleted:
•   If Holy Grail is negated during the same ~~turn~~ phase it is first used (e.g., Crucify Him), the converted character reverts to being an Evil Character. If the reverted character is currently in battle, the reverted character has no effect on the current battle and would return to the owner’s territory after the battle is resolved.
•   If Holy Grail is used to convert your Evil Character to a Hero, the Hero is used to make a rescue attempt, the rescue attempt is successful, and Holy Grail is negated immediately after battle (e.g., Destruction of Nehushtan), you keep the rescued soul even though the character is no longer a Hero.

Negative Effect
A negative effect is any effect from cards not of the same alignment (i.e., good, evil, or neutral) targeting a character.

Alignment
There are three card alignment in Redemption®: good cards, evil cards, and neutral cards.

Convert - Default Conditions
•   If a Hero is converted to an Evil Character, it’s special ability does not work. If that Evil Character is later converted back to a Hero, it’s special ability works again.
•   If an Evil Character is converted to a Hero, it’s special ability works as long as it does not harm any Heroes. Game rules are still operative (e.g., Heroes may not use evil enhancements or band to Evil Characters).

Piety of Mary
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Yellow • Ability: 4 / 3 • Class: None • Special Ability: Ignore all special abilities on cards depicting a false religious practice. • Play as: Ignore all special abilities on neutral and evil cards depicting a false religious practice. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Luke 10:39 • Availability: Women booster packs (Uncommon)

Lost Souls cards (2-line and 3-line)
Note: Treat the special ability on the 'Lost Souls’ card as a definition. It explains why the card title is plural. It cannot be negated. The 'Lost Souls' card has the same deck building rules as a Lost Soul with a special ability.

Added to Earthly Battle:
•   Potiphar, Pharaoh Hophra

Search, Reveal, or Exchange - Special Conditions
• If the targeted Lost Soul is exchanged when playing the Rescuer's Choice advanced rule, the exchanged Lost Soul becomes the new targeted Lost Soul.

Set-Aside (The entire section was updated - see http://cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=7213.0)

Changes since September 19, 2007

Last update there were major changes to the card descriptions and set-aside. I do not anticipate major changes in the next update. They are listed below.

Seeker of the Lost is Female, not Male.

Miscellaneous (Special Condition)
•   Goliath may retain any number of the weapon-class enhancement’s designated for him.

Ignore or Repel (Special Condition)
•   A multi-colored character is ignored if any of its brigade colors are ignored.

Convert (Default Condition)
•   If an Evil Character is converted to a Hero, it’s special ability works as long as it does not target a Hero. The only exception is that the converted Evil Character may target a Hero for banding (e.g., if Potiphar and Potiphar's Wife were both converted to Heroes, Potiphar's special ability to band to Potiphar's Wife can still work). Game rules are still operative (e.g., Heroes may not use evil enhancements or band to Evil Characters).

Restore Life, Heal, or Release (Clarifications)
•   Cards like Lay Down Your Life that do not specifically mention the word “heal” in their special ability or card errata are not considered healing cards~~; they are considered substitution cards~~. They do not actually heal a character, but rather replace a character being discarded. They cannot be played outside of battle. They must be played on a character in battle ~~(or being discarded from battle)~~ since they do not specifically mention the word “heal” and must be played prior to a discard because they do not interrupt.

Satan's Folly
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: White • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: If one of holder's Heroes is about to be discarded, Holder may substitute an Evil Character from an opponent's territory in place of the Hero being discarded. • Errata: ~~If your hero is being discarded from battle,~~ If a Hero is discarded this battle, discard an Evil Character in an opponent’s territory to heal that Hero. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Colossians 2:15 • Availability: Apostles booster packs (Ultra Rare)

NOTE: Satan's Folly is NOT cross-referenced as an exchange card

Satan’s Folly contains a triggered ability, so must be played prior to a discard. is played like a healing card and can be played when the Hero is on the way to the discard pile from the field of battle. It does not matter how the Hero is being discarded. It may be due to a special ability (e.g., Christian Martyr or Rizpah’s Sackcloth) or due to abilities (*/*). Play as a healing enhancement if activated on a Hero in battle or on a Hero being discarded from battle and only if you can discard an Evil Character in a territory. Just as with a healing card, you don’t need to negate a discard special ability to be able to play the card.

Lay Down Your Life
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Blue • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: If holder's Hero is about to be discarded, discard Hero. Holder may place another Hero of the same brigade from his territory into battle. All previous enhancements stay in play. • Errata: ~~If holder’s Hero is about to be discarded,~~ If a Hero is discarded this battle, discard Hero to allow holder to place another Hero of the same brigade from his territory into battle. All previous enhancements stay in play. • Identifiers: NT, Depicts a Weapon • Verse: John 15:13 • Availability: Apostles booster packs (Uncommon)

Lay Down Your Life contains a triggered ability, so must be played prior to a discard. is not a healing card, nor is it an interrupt card. Therefore, it cannot be played in response to losing by removal. It can only be played in battle, and only takes effect if your Hero is losing by numerical abilities.

Additional Changes since September 19

Roman ~~Evil Character~~ (Glossary Entry)
~~Mocking Soldier (Priests) may band “to a warrior class Roman Evil Character.”~~ There are currently no general references to Roman characters in Redemption®; references are currently more specific in identifying Roman soldiers or Roman emperors (see Roman Soldier or Emperor ). The following Redemption® cards are considered Roman:
•   (Good): Cornelius
•   (Evil): Emperor Augustus, Emperor Caius Caligula, Emperor Claudius, Emperor Galba, Emperor Nero, Emperor Otho, Emperor Tiberius, and Mocking Soldier

Fight Each Other (How to Use)
If two heroes (or two evil characters) are forced to fight each other, this is called a side battle. In a side battle, each player involved in the original battle controls the characters on one side of the side battle. The characters which must fight are selected by the player of the side battle ability and placed into the side battle in any order. If only one selected character was already in battle, then its current controller retains control of that character in the side battle. If both of the selected characters are being controlled by the same player in the original battle, the player of the side battle ability chooses which one he will control in the side battle. The player that controls a character controls any banding special abilities (if applicable). However, characters in a side battle cannot band to characters already in the Field of Battle.

Every Man's Sword
Type: Artifact • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: No battle may begin as a battle challenge. ~~• Play As: Battle challenges are prevented.~~ • Errata: Protect each player without a lost soul in territory from being attacked. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Judges 7:22 • Availability: Kings booster packs (Rare)

Special Situations:
• If the only Lost Soul(s) available is(are) in sites, Every Man’s Sword prevents a Hero with the special ability to “access any site” to enter the Field of Battle. The hero must enter the Field of Battle to activate the special ability. Either a site must be used with the Hero or the Hero brigade color must match the brigade of a site holding a Lost Soul.
• Abram/Abraham may not enter battle if the only way for him to get access to a Lost Soul is to use his ability to negate the ability on the Lost Soul (i.e., Jeremiah 7:18 (‘Female’))

Depicting an Idol (in the Glossary) - Captured Ark and Unknown Nation added

Return to Draw Pile (Default Conditions)
• Lost Souls held in a site being returned to a draw or discard pile are returned to the corresponding Land of Bondage.

Involving Music (in the Glossary)
add the following:
Spiritual Protection, Praise Him, Moon, Refined by Fire, Defeating the Enemy

Miscellaneous (Special Condition)
•   Goliath may retain ~~any number of the~~one of each weapon-class enhancement’s designated for him.

frisian9 · « **Reply #5 on:** October 16, 2007, 08:03:35 PM »

Additional Changes since October 13, 2007

Convert (Default Conditions)
If an Evil Character is converted to a Hero, it’s special ability works as long as it ~~does~~ cannot target a Hero.

Repentance
• Special Ability: Place this card on any human Evil Character in play and convert to a Green Brigade Hero. • Play As: Convert one human Evil Character to a Green Brigade Hero.

Set-Aside (How to Play)
Set-aside cards may be played on any character you control in play with matching brigade. Set-aside cards remain on the character in the set-aside area until the character is returned to the field of play. When you set aside your opponent's card during a battle, after then battle you must put the set-aside enhancement with the card you set aside. The character can return during any preparation phase, unless the set aside card has a specified endpoint. The set-aside card is then discarded.

Set-Aside (Default Conditions)
• Cards are set aside in their owners' respective set-aside areas.

Medo-Persians (Glossary Entry)
Haman, Prince of Persia, and Zeresh

Zerrubabel's Temple High Priest (Glossary Entry)
Zechariah should be added to the list

Seeker of the Lost
Reference corrected to II Timothy 2:4

Fortify or Place (Default Conditions)
• Cards placed on a character do not reactivate in battle unless the card(s) that placed them specify that they are reactivated in battle.

Disease (Glossary Entry)
• ~~Plagued with Diseases~~

frisian9 · « **Reply #6 on:** November 28, 2007, 10:26:19 PM »

Additional Changes since November 23, 2007

Pharisees (--> Sadducees reference added and list of Sadducees removed)
The following special ability on these Redemption® cards mention Pharisees:
•   Barabbas, Child of Great Wisdom, Gamaliel, High Priest Annas, High Priest’s Palace, Jerusalem, Nicodemus, Pharisees (3 Variants), and Sanhedrin.
When these cards mention the words Pharisees, they refer to any character that the Bible mentions were a Pharisee. This means anywhere in the Bible, not just on the card. The word Pharisee does not need to appear in the card title. A complete list of Sadducees are described and listed elsewhere in the glossary. These are considered Pharisees in Redemption®:
•   (Good): Gamaliel, Nicodemus, and Saul/Paul (as Paul).
•    (Evil): Hard-Hearted Religious Leaders, Pharisees (3 Variants), and Saul/Paul (as Saul)
A converted Pharisee would be able to band to all of these Heroes.
NOTE: Stone Throwers is not considered a Pharisee; they were part of a crowd stirred up by the Pharisees.

Assyrian Archer is Generic.

Discard or Remove (Default Conditions)
•    If you are required to discard a specific card from hand and you do not have that card in your hand, you must show your hand.
•    Ongoing abilities that are not negated continue until the end of the phase in which they are discarded or removed.

Zerubbabel's Temple Priest and Herod's Temple Priest expanded in card identifier lists in the card description section.

Wasting Disease is classified as a disease.

Involving Music
Several Redemption® cards refer to enhancements “involving music”. Note that this may be used for Covenants cards being used as enhancements. The following cards refer to enhancements involving music:
•   Asaph, Ethan, Heman, and Lamenting
The following cards involve music:
•   [those added are: ] I Am Justice, I Am Mercy, I Am Sustainer, The Stars

Daniel Reference - [those added are] Michael (kings), Gabriel (kings), Foretelling Angel, and Watcher

Manually Triggered Ability (Glossary Entry)
A manually triggered ability is an ongoing ability that is directly triggered by the holder. Triggered ongoing abilities only appear on Fortresses and cards being treated as Artifacts. They are triggered immediately on cards being treated as Enhancements. Manually triggered abilities can be identified by the phrase “when holder chooses”. The phrase only applies for Covenant and Curse cards when they are used as Artifacts.

Fight Each Other - How to Use
If two heroes (or two evil characters) are forced to fight each other, this is called a side battle. In a side battle, each player involved in the original battle controls the characters on one side of the side battle. The characters which must fight are selected by the player of the side battle ability and placed into the side battle in any order. If only one selected character was already in battle, then its current controller retains control of that character in the side battle. If both of the selected characters are being controlled by the same player in the original battle, the player of the side battle ability chooses which one he will control in the side battle. The player that controls a character controls any banding special abilities (if applicable). However, characters in a side battle cannot band to characters already in the Field of Battle. If one or more characters already in the field of battle are selected to fight in a side battle, their special abilities do not reactivate.

Fight Each Other - Default Conditions
•   Instant abilities activate only once in the same Battle Phase.
•   Ongoing abilities apply to the entire field battle.

Changes made during 2010 Nationals:

Replaced the entire card description section. It used to be grouped by the major special abliity; it now includes all cards sorted by the release.
Disciples cards added to the card list and the category list in the glossary
Several new categories added to the glossary (e.g., heretics, herod's temple artifacts)
"Play as" added to many cards, holding to a strict use of key words. This means all cards will be stated with the same words and phrases, mainly so it hyperlinks to the rest of the REG more efficiently and completely.

frisian9 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 18, 2010, 05:46:31 PM »

Changes made since 2010 Nationals:

Pot of Manna removed from Zerubbabel's Temple Artifact list.
The Tabernacle (Pi), Solomon's Temple (Pa), Zerubbabel’s Temple (FF), and Herod's Temple (Di) are considered the same unique Fortress. You may have no more than one in play (or set aside) at a time.

Many updates were uploaded on 2/18/2011. These will be summarized soon. It will take me a little while to compile the list of changes.

Please post items to be corrected here. Thank you!

Quote from: SomeKittens

Should we consider this thread authoritative over the REG? (If there's elder confirmation on a post)

Yes. This thread is to be regarded as an appendix to the REG that lists its errors, omissions and additions since it was last updated.

What happens when this thread gets so large it's hard to make sure I didn't miss something?

If the new REG does not get released in the near future, and this thread grows to the point where it's cumbersome to read through it all, the eventual plan is to organize it in some fashion and convert it to a downloadable .pdf file.

Quote from: REG

Gabriel (Di)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Silver • Ability: 10 / 6 • Class: None • Special Ability: Search discard pile for a good Luke Enhancement and shuffle it into deck to protect Luke Heroes from capture and discard. • Play As: Search discard pile for a good Luke Enhancement and return it into deck to protect Luke Heroes from capture and discard. • Identifiers: NT Male Angel, Prophet • Verse: Luke 1:19 • Availability: Disciples booster packs ()

Incorrect entry.
Special ability should read:
"Search discard pile for a good Luke enhancement and add it to hand. You may remove it from the game to protect Gabriel from capture and discard."

Confirmed by Elder: The Guardian, 12/9/10

Special ability corrected. Play as should be "Search discard pile for a good Luke Enhancement and return it to hand. You may remove it from the game to protect Gabriel from capture and discard." - frisian9 2/13/2011

The Play As for DoN would allow it to discard Lampstand of the Sanctuary. Did we make that change and I missed it?

The play as is wrong.

Corrected. Play is = "Discard one activated Artifact in play. Negate that Artifact." frisian9 2/13/2011

Special ability should read: "Discard an evil card in battle to shuffle all remaining characters in battle into owners’ decks. If no Heroes remain in battle and the current rescuer doesn't have the most Redeemed Souls, he may begin a new battle."

I propose the following errata:

"Discard an evil card in battle to shuffle all remaining characters in battle into owners’ decks. If no Heroes remain in battle and the current rescuer doesn't have the most Redeemed Souls, he may begin a new battle."

Sound good to me. Nice work.

Me too.

Quote from: REG

Set-aside Card
A set-aside card is a type of enhancement that includes a special ability allowing a character to be placed outside the Field of Play for a number of turns. A set-aside card is identi fied by the words “set-aside” in the special ability of the card. The effects that a character gains while in a set-aside area remain with the character when he returns to the Field of Play until the character is discarded or returned to a card pile (draw or discard).Moreover, the gained effect cannot be negated when the charac ter enters the Field of Battle.

Added clarification:
"On return" is implied to mean "when returned at the completion of the specified number of turns."

Confirmed by Elder: Bryon

The playtesters seem to be in agreement:

when a card says "on return" it means "when returned at the completion of the specified number of turns, ..."

In other words, the "on return" clause refers to the return that happens as the specified set aside period ends. It does not mean "Any time this character is returned by any ability,"
