Title: Does This Work Like It Sounds?
Post by: Ironica on February 22, 2010, 02:46:47 PM: My opponent starts a rescue attempt with, let's say, three banded heroes. I block with Herod Agrippa II. I have Herod's Treachery on another Herod in my territory. My opponent has three good brigades in their territory. I discard Herod's Treachery to cause them to withdraw. The question is, can Herod Agrippa II capture them all or just one? (I would add the abilities but I keep forgetting where the TexP list in the REG is :P).

Herod Agrippa II
Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Gold • Ability: None • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: Negate protect abilities on Fortresses. If a Hero withdraws from battle, you may capture it. May band to a Sadducee. Cannot be negated. • Attributes: Jewish King • Identifiers: NT Male Human, King (Judah) • Verse: Acts 25:23 • Availability: Thesaurus ex Preteritus booster packs ()

Herod’s Treachery
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: Territory • Special Ability: Place on a Herod. That Herod may use evil Enhancements regardless of brigade. You may discard this card to force X Heroes to withdraw from battle. • Attributes: X = number of good brigades opponent has in play • Identifiers: None • Verse: Matthew 2:8 • Availability: Thesaurus ex Preteritus booster packs ()

Using the same logic as Wandering Spirit allowing multiple demons to be placed under draw pile, Herod should work the same way.

You have a character with no numbers? As Mr. Spock would say, "Fascinating."
