[quote]I haven’t played in a LONG while and I am sad that the repository of answers from your previous site is no longer available. But I have a new batch of questions from a game last night:
1) this is just a clarification, but you can assign a Wound from Titan to the Character that has Titan correct?[/quote]
Correct, as long as they are not immune.[quote]2) Does Rampage only let you assign the Wound to a Melee Character or can you assign it to any of the attackers (assuming at least one attacker is Melee range)[/quote]
Any attacker, controller’s choice.[quote]3) For Recurring Villain does “Search” mean take the top card that qualifies or can you choose one of your choice? More broadly, my question is exactly what “search” means since Search Object specifies the first two you find which would be redundant if Search already means that.[/quote]
Flip cards until you meet the requirements.[quote]4) If Counter Attack is in play and more than one Wound is dealt will it trigger multiple times?[/quote]
It would only trigger once.[quote]5) Move Silently says gains Stealth and Unstoppable if no other Adventurers are attacking. Does that mean that the Adventurer would gain Stealth if I don’t attack at all?[/quote]
I’m not 100% I understand the question, but 1 Adventurer attacking gains Stealth and Unstoppable.[quote]6) Do cards get Pulled the turn after Boosted Close Call?[/quote]
No, pulling is part of Drawing cards.[quote]7) If I play a card like Wood Shield against an attacker with Frenzy, does the extra Stamina carry over to the regular Retaliation phase?[/quote]
The Adventurers Stamina score would remain until the end of the Turn.They are only relative to the Scenario Pack at this time.
Well, this didn’t happen in a timely manner. More work is being done on this.
It qualifies her for Fell the Colossus.
RE a 2 player coop game, with cards played on round 1 of the game by the non-active player (let’s call them player B)…
– ‘Elite’ card uses 1 skill resource this round and contributes +2 hand limit size for player B this round. This upkeep cost and effect will be the same in every subsequent round until the card leaves play for some reason (i.e. on all of Player A’s turns, Player A will have 1 less skill resource available, despite having a regular 5 hand limit). Is this correct?Correct.
Thanks kindly for your patience! 🙂
OK I think I misunderstood your responses to my earlier questions RE how ‘Magic Long sword’ would work in coop… not helped by the fact that I think we’ve since clarified terminology for controlling player Vs active player!
I was wrong and I will update that response. It would only work on the active players turn.
Would you please review this example and explain the correct effect and resource rules for ‘Magic long sword’? My best guess at the moment is that, RE a 2 player coop game, with cards played on round 1 of the game by the non-active player (let’s call them player B)…
– Uses 2 equipment resources this round and contributes +4 melee (supernatural) this round, but 0 equipment resources next round and 0 melee power next round (when it is removed during player Bs Step 4 of round 2). It may be boosted only during round 1.
Correct.
So generally non-permanent crawler cards provide a one off benefit on the round in which they are played, and only require ‘upkeep’ of resources in that single round (just like in solo mode). However, they will only be removed from play at the end of the controlling players next round (this is the key difference to solo mode).
Correct (I believe that I am reading this correctly, lol).
Awesome, this is a useful terminology clarification for our discussion (I was off track).
I’m glad it helps!
So, some examples please to check my understanding (fingers crossed, I think I’ve got it now!), RE a 2 player coop game, with cards played on round 1 of the game by the non-active player (let’s call them player B)…
‘Full plate Armor’ Equipment card: uses 3 equipment resources and contributes +4 stamina this round, and also on the subsequent round (when it is discarded during player Bs Step 4 of round 2). It may be boosted during either or both rounds.
Full Plate Armour provides +4 per attacker (from the Dungeon), it can be boosted if an Adventurer is Active and in Play under any controller. It is only actively used to defend against one Retaliation.
‘Brawling’ Skill card: uses 2 skill resources every round until spent (only the controlling player may spend the card).
Brawling requires 1 Skill Resource. Yes, only the Controller can Spend a card.
‘Close call’ Tactics card: uses 3 tactics resources and ends round 1 with no more wounds dealt. In round 2 the 3 tactics resources are again used, and the players may agree on when to end the encounter in round 2 (e.g. after the adventurers deliver a wound); it is discarded at the end of round 2. It may be boosted during either or both rounds.
It is used on the Turn it is played, it does not have Upkeep, however, it is Discarded at the end of it’s Controller’s Turn.
Upkeep for permanents does not equal Not regaining your Resources. It IS possible to regain the Tactics Resources from another Player before a Tactic card leaves play on your Turn (or vice versa).
‘Fireball’ Magic card: uses 2 magic resources and contributes +4 melee power this round, and also on the subsequent round 2 (it is discarded during player Bs Step 4 of round 2).
Note, this is not what Fireball does. Fireball Costs 1, and deals +2 Ranged (fire) damage.
No. I think there is some confusion on how combat works.
Incidentally, I notice that the specific coop rules document on the DC website (Core rules Vol.3) has a different sequence of play which is more similar to the standard solo rules, where all players reset their cards/resources at the end of each turn. Are the coop rules in the new complete revised rules intended to take a different approach?
Yes, Core Rules Vol 3 was part of the initial rule set, which is an optional and easier way to play. We DID do an update to the co-op rules to make the game more challenging in the new Revised Rules.
Hi I wonder if you could help me clear up some rules questions RE coop play… I notice that the specific coop rules document on the DC website (Core rules Vol.3); the old rules have a different sequence of play which is more similar to the solo rules, where all players reset their cards/resources at the end of each turn. Are the coop rules in the complete revised rules intended to be different? I think all of my confusion is around how to handle the new ‘Step 4’ for non-controlling players cards. WIthout a coop sequence of play, it’s not clear to me how this should work.
I will try my best. The revised rules are free to view via pdf, and admitted would appear to need work for clarification.
– The permanent card ‘Back pack’… can a controlling player spend another player’s backpack, to gain cards for themself?
No.
– ‘Elite’ card: Assuming it is still a played permanent, does it grant all players an increased hand limit?
No.
– ‘Moving Search’ card: How do Tactics cards work in co-op? Is the effect a one off on the controlling player’s turn, or can it be repeated by subsequent players each turn? (as it has not yet been discarded)
Yes, it is in effect a one off.
– ‘Fireball’ card: If played by player B (a non-controlling player), on the next turn for player C… would this fireball again contribute its bonus and occupy one magic resource? I think these are my outstanding queries… Would you mind setting my straight?
No, it is in effect a one off.
– I guess you mean in relation to ‘STEP 4.7 MAINTAIN PERMANENTS’: OK so I think I understand that in this instance the card could not be discarded by the controlling player, because they did not play it themself- is this correct? I think my confusion centers around what “their” card means in the context of a co-op players turn…
Let’s make a distinction, there is the Active Player, and a Controlling Player. An Active Player is the player that is currently Controlling the Primary target and facing the Dungeon’s Retaliation. A Controlling Player is the owner of a particular card whether it is an Adventurer or a Tactic card.
– The permanent card ‘Back pack’… can a controlling player spend another player’s backpack, to gain cards for themself?
No. Assuming you meant the Active Player, they are not the Controller of the Backpack.
– ‘Elite’ card: Assuming it is still a played permanent, does it grant all players an increased hand limit?
No. Only the Controller. It doesn’t matter who’s Resources are being used, but only the Controller gains this benefit.
– ‘Moving Search’ card: How do Tactics cards work in co-op? Is the effect a one off on the controlling player’s turn, or can it be repeated by subsequent players each turn? (as it has not yet been discarded)
Thanks for your patience with my questions. I know its a co-op experience, but I plan to play co-op with my 2 young daughters, and the clearer I can be RE rules from day 1, the better I’ll avoid potential sibling arguments!
(see below)
Also, you’re quite welcome AND thank you, I do feel that this has brought to light many additional clarifications that would need to be worked on for the next rule version. I may need to simplify some things, solidify some rules, and create clearer terms for co-op.
“– ‘Moving Search’ card: How do Tactics cards work in co-op? Is the effect a one off on the controlling player’s turn, or can it be repeated by subsequent players each turn? (as it has not yet been discarded)”
To clarify, I mean to query what would happen if ‘Moving Search’ is played by the non-controlling player.It would activate on the Active player’s turn regardless of who the Controller is.
– If 2 players both want to use a card which requires the same resources (there are not enough resources for both), does the controlling player have final say?
It’s a co-operative game, so you can discuss the best course of action, but if you can not decide the controlling player would have the choice.
– When the ‘ADVENTURERS ATTACK’ (step 3.2)… is it the controlling player who decides where any wound is placed?
Yes.
– Can the contorlling player choose to discard another player’s permanent cards that are in play (e.g. ‘Elite’)?
No, as the Resource would not be checked on the other players turn for their permanent card.
p.31 of the revised rule book states that “Each player will have 2 Adventurers each”. Later the 3 player co-op table lists “Number of Adventurers” as “4”: what is the correct total number of Adventurers for a 4 player co-op game? (I presume it’s 8)
It’s always 2 Adventurers per player for co-op, those would be typos.
As the magic long sword is not removed until the end of the non-controlling players next round, does the sword still contribute it’s +4 melee power in each subsequent round until it is removed?
*Edit; this is incorrect, the long sword is only used against the dungeon once when played.
And, if you and your co-op buddies find this level of play too difficult, it’s totally acceptable to make house-rules to make the game more enjoyable, and work your way up to official play. 🙂
Would you please elaborate on what would happen in this example? Does the non-controlling player remove their played long sword at the end of the controlling players turn, thus freeing up the equipment resources for the following player?
No. Only the Controller resets.
