Title: Pithom
Post by: Maynid on April 20, 2012, 07:03:24 PM
Pithom holds one gold curse.  Is the benefit that you can have the curse and another artifact active at the same time?

Yes. When an artifact is activated somewhere off the artifact pile (a Temple, Charms on a Magician, Unholy Writ on High Priest's Palace, etc), you're still able to activate an artifact on the pile itself. At this point, it's, as far as I know, possible to have six artifacts active at one time, though that number may be higher.

This is correct. It's actually possible to have over six arts/covs/curses active at the same time.

9 actually.  Iron Pan on Zeke.  Charms on a magician.  Writ in High priests palace.  Book of the cov + 2 covs in a temple. A Gold curse on Pithom and another on Chorazin (albiet for one turn).  And one in the art pile.

I forgot about Pan, but I wasn't counting Book of the Covenant.

You forgot about Altar of Dagon in Temple of Dagon.

Priestly Breastplate on a priest.

Doesn't work that way. Because PB's "active on a priest" note is part of the special ability, not the identifier, you have to use your activation each turn to keep it on a Priest.

It actually can be used to boost the number by one more. Use Priestly Breastplate for your artifact per turn and then attack and use Meal in Emmaus to activate a final skill-shot Artifact.

Wouldn't MiE negate whatever artifact was activated last?

Yes, but the placing is an instant ability that completed in the previous phase.

I agree, but I don't think it can be counted if not all artifacts are active. These are the serious moral issues facing our nation today.

They're all active at the same time until the next turn, what am I missing?

Guys how could you forget Cross Beams of the Cross on Simon of Cyrene.

Post by: Wings of Music on April 21, 2012, 01:21:16 PM
That brings the grand total up to and even dozen if you leave count preistly breastplate + MiE.

But you wouldn't want to waste space by putting in such useless artifacts as Cross Beams, ect.

We're not talking about usefulness, just what's possible.
