Title: James, Son of Alphaeus
Post by: Crashfach2002 on January 29, 2011, 02:14:27 PM: James, Son of Alphaeus (Di)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Purple • Ability: 1 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Negate special abilities on Evil Characters (and weapons) with toughness X or less. May band to Thaddeus. • Identifiers: NT Male Human, Disciple • Verse: Matthew 10:2-3 • Availability: Disciples booster packs () X = # of your good disciples in play

Does the (and weapons) mean any weapons in play with toughness x or less, or does it mean any weapons that are on the characters?

In other words my opponent has 5 disciples in play. I have a 6/6 evil character with a 2/3 weapon. So is the weapon negated because it is under 5 or does it still work because the character it is on is above 5?

So with 3 Disciples in play, a 3/4 weapon would not be negated.

Post by: RTSmaniac on January 30, 2011, 03:29:57 AM: so would this negate good weapons as well?

No.

I didn't think so, but I wanted to make sure!

For one thing, Goliath's Armor is CBN anyway. But even if it wasn't, it could only be negated by James if X>5.
