Bad Juju and Eternal

[edonil]

So, this came up yesterday at a tournament. Bad Juju's Eternal, if he gets killed enough times, you keep halving the number of wounds he has. Will this eventually drop him below 1 wound before he hits the board, or does it stop at 1 wound? The latter is how I ruled it, but I just wanted to check.

[Hatchethead]

You always round up according to page 5 of the RM, so half of 1 would be 0.5, rounded back up to 1. I think you did right.

[Issalbotproto]

well, there is the whole round up rule half of 1 is 1 when rounded up >.>...

I can't remember the exact wording but unless it specifies otherwise you only half wounds once - effects with the same name don't stack. This is like Hamelins -4 Ca when he comes back, it's only applied once.

However, it's been ages since I read JuJus card so can someone confirm or l me know I'm wrong

Each time this ability is used, reduce this models Wd stat by half.

That's the wording on it in the book:)

It specifically mentions each time eternal is used reduce it by half.

So it would be 12, 6, 3, 1, 0 i think, meaning he can only come back three times.

If a forth was possible that would be end of 8th turn, more like end of 9th.

No, you can summon it in turn one, so it can come back every turn, if you have the stones for it, meaning by turn 6 (ignoring the question here) it could have come back 6 times if it gets killed every turn. Not sure of the answer to this post, but i would stuck with the rounding up as all games use that i believe so he would be able to come back every turn. That however is just my thoughts.

[Candle Jack]

Kill Turn 1: Comes back end of 2.

Kill Turn 3: Comes back end of 4

Kill Turn 6: Comes back end of 6.

Kill Turn 7: Comes back end of 8 but i doubt thats possible, see above

Also a kill turn one is a waste by your own fault in my oppinion.

Ahh, sorry did not see it said of the next turn, didn't bother to read far enough, sorry

Half of 1 is 0.5, which rounds up back to one. So his life total should go from 12 to 6 to 3 to 2 (1.5 rounded up) to 1 to 1 (0.5 rounded up) and so on. That said, in a standard game, as he come back at the end of the next turn you will rarely ever see him get to one and almost never see the 0.5 rounded up to 1 stage since that would happen no sooner than the end of turn 10. Under the current rules the absolute max number of turns seems to be 11 (flip a 10+ on turn 6, an 11+ on 7, a 12+ on 8, a 13+ on 9, and the Red on 10)

That's super expensive as far as soul stones go. Costs 2 for each reincarnation if I'm not mistakin.

1 per resurrection.
