[AotA] Expansion PVP cards discussion and feedback

Excellent point, Veza!

 

I just want to chime in and say that I really like the "Blessing of Granite" idea -- Armor 1 and Immovable are tied together by the stone flavor. I also like the idea of armor in an attachment generally -- it seems like a neat thing for Priests to do!

EDIT -- and Stoneskin is a spell that Clerics/Druids have had in D&D for a long time, you could call it Stoneskin instead if you wanted!

 

I have a question about Sparkling Cloth Armor: if someone uses WoW to a character who has this armor, and the armor doesn't prevent the 1 point of damage (because you roll less than 3), what happens? Do you move it first and then your opponent moves it again? Or is it the contrary? That is a bit confusing.

 

Nice choice!

 

iirc, SCA first then WoW.

 

Don't know what iirc means, but I got it, you move first, then the wow. Thanks

Edit: so, I understand that the movement comes first in any situation , right? That means that even if you get hit by an encumber attack you get to move 3 first, regardless of the encumber effect?

 

iirc - if I recall correctly. After the first hundred or so test commands, everything becomes a blur... =)

iirc, this is how it works. eg: frost jolt
a) frost jolt from attacker apply 4 dam against target's SCA armor 1.
b) target suffers 3/4 dam. Frost jolt attached to target.
c) game checks target's cards in hand followed by attachment. So SCA's move 3 triggers 1st, followed by frost jolt's encumber 2. Total move space = 3-2 = 1.

Hope it helps.

 

erm, is this considered as an Assist/Armor hybrid card ?

 

Not a bug but Sparkling cloth armor creates another fancy effect, via spiked mail.

Banironhoh bashes Barazdron
Barazdron spikes his attacker.
Sparkling Cloth Armor reduced damage to Banironhoh by 1.
Cloth Armor failed!
Banironhoh took 1 Piercing damage.
Banironhoh moved.
Barazdron took 3 Crushing damage.
Barazdron moved.
Banironhoh moved.

Bani Pressing Bashed Bara, got spiked, triggered SCA, moved 3 AWAY from Bara. 3 dam applied to Bara and Pressing Bash's Move 1 activated. A 4 tile move possible due to spiked mail, since barbed platemail is getting penetrating.

My head aches...

 

So 'Target gains Armor 1' is a passive increment to existing armor modifiers in hand ? Armor 5 from enchanted mail becomes Armor 6 effectively ? or some other mechanic ?

 

So its an armor that triggers from attachment, gotcha. I suppose the armor reduction is only active in damage phase of calculation while the immovable effect procs only in the effect phase, ie, armor triggers before immovable when attached. Procs altruism only when casting, right ?

 

Pressing Bash: Slide Back 1. When this card takes effect, Move 1.

What does 'When this card takes effect' mean ? I'm able to move 1 regardless of whether the target has slided back. I suppose its wai, just wanted to be sure.

 

If you pushback parry a target with path of knives attached after a step attack, its possible to get 6 damage off and net a kill. Eww...
