Title: Zimri, Son of Salu
Post by: Eric the Wolfe on October 10, 2011, 10:32:59 PM
Zimri, son of Salu (RA)
Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Brown • Ability: 5 / 5 • Class: None • Special Ability: Interrupt Wall of Protection. May band to a female Evil Character of any brigade except brown to decrease a Hero in play by 0/6. • Identifiers: OT Male Human, Israel • Verse: Numbers 25:14

Besieged (Pi)
Type: Curse • Brigade: Crimson • Ability: 1 / 5 • Class: None • Special Ability: Banding abilities used by human Evil Characters cannot be negated by good cards or Artifacts. If 3 or more human Evil Characters are in battle while this card is active, you may discard this card to discard an O.T. Fortress in play. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Deuteronomy 28:52

If you have Besieged active, and you use Zimri to decrease someone, can they use something like Bravery of David to negate Zimri's special ability? Would it just negate the decrease part and not the banding? Or is it one ability and all of it cant be negeated?

Zimri is a cost->benefit ability: you band to decrease. If the band is CBN the decrease can still be negated without affecting the banding. However, if the banding is negated the decrease is also negated since then you wouldn't have paid the cost.
