Title: Primary Objective and Arrest in Gethsemane
Post by: Townsend on February 02, 2011, 10:44:47 AM

I make a rescue attempt with an angel (doesn't matter which one) I have Initiative so I play PO but I have Arrest in Gethsemane in my territory does that mean my opponent must d/c his hand because lost souls are protected from rescue by angels?

You can't select a LS to rescue if they're protected.

They're not protected from angels, they're protected from everything but human heroes.  PO isn't a human hero, ergo, no rescue.  Your opponent doesn't have to discard his hand.

I agree with Pol but do not agree with the kittens. An enhancement can't rescue a soul. It would still be the angel that would make the rescue not PO.

I feel like I have brought about a new era of Primary Objective awareness. That being said, the Kittens is correct.

Polarius/MJ are correct.
