All Individual Card Rulings at TLHH

[MR. Lurtzy]

Hmmm... I'm not sure on that one. It doesn't specify "each other character with resistance 4 or less"... but at the same time, it could be implied.

[MuadDib85]

Right. Neekeerbreeker's Bog must exert minions and allies then... 'Each other character' is referring to each other character that is not resistance 5 or more, which should count minions and allies imo.

Sure, we can cover that topic next.

How about Preparations.  May a dwarf skirmishing multiple minions use a single Preparations (with multiple cards stacked) to wound multiple minions?

Bib explained that one correctly:  "You can place the wounds on minions in any combination you wish. Check the "for each" rules".  Works just like any other card that says "wound/exert a minion for each..." (such as Merry's Sword).

[Witchkingx5]

Check the "for each" rules. Preparations works exactly the same as Merry's Sword or Ithilien Trap, which can place exertions on minions in any combination you wish.
All cards do what they say.

ditto, bib is never wrong, as stated here:

Everyone knows that I am never wrong.  

EDIT: Darn, 10 seconds faster! Just because I wanted insert the funny quote..

[mardukra]

Yeah, I read all that and agree with Bib 99%.

Now, if the pattern holds up, Mr. Lurtzy will play devil's advocate and break down the unique wording of Preparations and Merry's Sword.  They are not worded "like any other card that says "wound/exert a minion for each..." 

So, I'm curious to see if that little extra word included on those 2 cards changes anything here.

[MR. Lurtzy]

I have no problem with this, because it is in the rules. I only have problems when people disregard the rules. Here's the relevant ruling by the way:

When an effect wounds (or exerts or heals) characters using the phrase "for each," you may wound (or exert or heal) a character more than once. (See toil.)
Aragorn, Wingfoot says, "Each time the fellowship moves, you may wound a minion for each unbound Hobbit you spot." If you spot two unbound Hobbits, you may wound two minions each once or one minion twice.

That's true.

That one is actually already listed in the initial post of topics to discuss:
"20) With Crashed Gate, when can the Free People's Player choose each option? (previous discussion)"

The real problem is 'Can you choose the 'take control of a site' option if sites 1 to 4 are already controlled?'.

[hrcho]

I don't think this needs discussion. The Free Peoples player chooses to either add threats or chooses an opponent. That opponent MAY take control of the site. If all controllable sites are already controlled, Freeps can still choose an opponent. If there are 3 threats and 4 companions then Freeps MUST choose an opponent.

[Witchkingx5]

true. for pointing out that correctly, hrcho.

The "Unofficial Rulebook" now contains updates for all the issues that have been ruled upon at this point.  Please take a look.  (All rulings made on TLHH are in red text)

We will take a break, a few weeks perhaps, before having anymore discussions to give players time to look over the "Unofficial Rulebook".   Any feedback would be appreciated.  Thanks!

[Tbiesty]

Thanks hrcho for creating this Unofficial Rulebook Feedback thread.   I'd like to start the next phase of the Unofficial Rulebook (errata for X-listed and OP cards, etc.) in a few weeks.  So I'd like to know who is willing to participate.  Thanks!
