Title: Heal enhancement with territory class - what is territory class good for?
Post by: Reth on March 18, 2017, 08:47:01 PM: Hi there,

topic tries to say it all: According to the REG entry regarding healing I wonder why a heal GE needs territory class? If I understand Heal ability correctly a heal GE can be played anytime when necessary - so territory class of such an enhancement will not provide any advantage.

Or did I miss something here?

Thank you in advance for some clarification resp. details.

Bye

I hope that makes sense.

Well did not get this entirely. Does this mean I can use "normal" heal enhancements during my turn outside battle (or even outside my turn) to heal paralised characters which are not about to be discarded?

Post by: Reth on March 20, 2017, 02:40:42 AM: Ok, thanks. But this brings me back to my initial question regarding the benefit of territory class for healing enhancements then.

When Redemption started there was no such thing you could just play certain cards in your territory. Now that we have territory class enhancements and characters and symbols to let us know when we can play territory class. I think it's a great idea that we now put the territory class symbol on all enhancements that are played in your territory even set aside and heal enhancements that way it's not confusing to when you can't play it and when you can play it. Especially to a new player. Does that make sense?

Yes, this makes sense. But in case of Heal which I could also play out of my turn and out of battle these possibilities even exceed the territory marker in my opinion.
Nevertheless regarding the points you mentioned it gives more clarity and provide a visual indicator for it. ATM it still confuses me a little in this particular case - but that's my "problem". ;D

Post by: Jeremystair on March 20, 2017, 03:38:07 PM: I get what you're saying but take for instance love it heals converts and then it's a place on card: I guess it doesn't need it it just makes it easier. And besides most heal cards are played in battle or on owners turn even though you can play it on your opponent's turn it's not normally played like that.
