Special Ability: Negate special abilities on Evil Characters (and weapons) with toughness X or less. May band to Thaddeus.
Do the parentheses have any meaning?
-
Maybe it means separately and not the combined toughness, but I have no clue.
-
It means that weapons of toughness X or less are negated. Nothing more.
-
yeah, negates weapons. :)
my question is the negate applied seperately to each term or is weapons under the umbrella of ec's (negate sa's on ec's with toughness X or less, negate sa's on weapons with toughness X or less OR negate sa's on ec's with toughness X or less and the weapons on those ec's as well).
-
This was asked earlier, it is separate. If I've got 5 Disciples out, Philly horses are negated, but Garrison isn't.
-
do you have a link to that thread? im surprised i never saw that nor questioned it myself.
-
No, sorry. Honestly, it'd be quicker to get an Elder to chime in here instead of looking for it.
-
SK is correct. The parentheses are necessary to avoid the interpretation that he negates all EC's regardless of X, but only weapons with toughness X or less.
James negates EC's with toughness less than X, and weapons with toughness less than X.

Was this the same sourta problem with Job with his discard and capture abilities.

Job specifically says "abilities"

Actually, that's the play as, which is incorrect. Job just says "discard" so it has been ruled that he's protected from game rule discards as well as abilities.

*sigh* Why do I even post anymore?
-
well that way when you do post we know to do the exact opposite for the right answer. ;) just kidding, just kidding.

I'm wrong all the time, I just roll with the punches and get confidence boosts from the "Browarod is correct" quotes. :D
LOL @ MKChief. You're so mean. ;)

For the amusement of others?

Actually, the Elders took this exact question to Rob, and he ruled that Job is not protected from discard by numbers. http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/ruling-questions/job-question/msg397021/#msg397021 (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/ruling-questions/job-question/msg397021/#msg397021)

That is outdated.

That is outdated.
As far as I know, the thread jmhartz linked to is the most current ruling.
-
That is outdated.
Pol is mistaken in this instance. Rob's ruling from earlier this year stands and is not expected to change.
-
Well, I sit corrected yet again. Looks like I'm pulling "SomeKittens" left and right, lol.

Woohoo! I have a reputation!

This does bring up another question, though. Since apparently the lack of "abilities" after discard doesn't necessarily mean anything in the Priests set, does that mean High Priest's Palace does NOT protect from discard by game rule either? Because if it does then that would be a glaring inconsistency.
-
(let's try and make this 2-1...) Since Job says "capture abilities" the word abilities applies to all protects on the card (a la Reach of Desperation's "may" applying individually to all three abilities). HPP doesn't say abilities.
-
Wait, what? So protection doesn't protect from numbers now? I thought there was just a big to-do about the official ruling being the opposite...
-

What they are saying is that "protected from discard abilities" does not protect from the numbers, but "protect from discard" does. Job is the former.

What made you come to that conclusion? No one here claimed it to be so, Browarod asked a question because he was confused.

Ahh, I missed what point the discussion was turning on. Carry on!

"May" has specifically been ruled to apply to all abilities listed with an "and", does this mean that "abilities" is considered to have a similar, overarching ruling? I wasn't aware that it did, but I guess I wouldn't be surprised.
-
That was my guess, it was what made sense to me.

Only if you don't read the rest of the thread.
