Mike3838 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I wanted to check I'd read this right: Self loathing is a spell which causes a damage flip using the damage profile of the target. It doesn't call for the target to make a Strike against themself. So, this works on Jack Daw right? It's a spell so he isn't immune, and he has to discard a card each time it is successfully cast on him? Cheers! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I don't think he'd take the wound from his hit. The spell is making him hit himself, but the actual weapon he's using to hit himself is not magical, hence it wouldn't affect him. He would have to discard a card for hitting himself though. He would ignore the damage from the hit but not other effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) The Casting/Resist duel has no effect on the damage flip. If the spell is successful, it's a single damage flip with the weapon with a on it. If the weapon has any special rules attached to it they still work. So if it was a greatsword (has a +fate on damage) it would be a straight damage flip. In Jack Daws case his weapon isn't magical so he wouldn't have to discard a card for taking damage but he would have to discard a card for the Suppressed Memory for it's special rule.

Mike3838 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thank guys. That gives me the beginnings of a strategy for dealing with him :-) Burn through his control hand with multiple casts of self loathing. Then try to find something to apply the killing blow... Hmm...

magicpockets Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Mike, just hit him with a crow trigger and keep him out of the game - much easier that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike3838 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Yea unfortunately I had to face Jack twice at the weekend. I did manage to scare him off in one game, and paralyse him in another, but both times he was recovered and right back in my face before long. That being said, I think I under-used Mental Anguish. Not next time though Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
