Burning

[Stany]

If a master or henchmen gains say burning +4 and say 3 wounds so it will kill the figure during the upkeep step can theses figures at that point take a damage prevention flip? say flip a 6 to 10 so you are now on 1 wound left and are you now not dead?

And sorry probably these are questions that are in the rules just can't see them! amour +1 does that take a point of the burning or poison in the upkeep step?

Cheers guys

If you are asking, can burning damage be prevented using soulstones, the answer is yes.

Armor also reduces burning damage (to a minimum of 1). Poison damage can't be reduced so armor doesn't help there. (Poison can still be prevented using soulstones.)

In short yes you can. There's nothing stopping a Henchman or Master using SS Prevention to stop the damage for Burning or Poison for that matter. 

 

Armour will reduce the damage of Burning but as Poison only deals 1 damage as it ticks down like a counter Armour is basically useless under those circumstances. If you were being affected by Sebastian's Induction (or a similar ability) which makes you take an additional 2 Damage from Poison each time you take a point of Damage from Poison then the Armour would work against this.

No, Poison has a special rule that it can't be reduced (see the description of the condition in the rulebook). Sebastian's Induction makes a point that the additional damage is also Poison damage, so can't be reduced. Note that if you prevent one damage, Induction won't trigger.

I must have missed that, it's been a while since I had to read up on poison though. Still learning stuff about this game every day!

Oh aye, every game I play I seem to learn something new. Sometimes I even re-learn things that I've learned before.
