Mr.F1n3 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 So I read through the rulebook and Wednesday night me and a couple of my friends are going to start actually playing Malifaux (Lady Justice Vs Seamus, very excited). I have a question that is a bit embarrassing but I need some clarification on. I read somewhere in the rulebook that I needed to keep track of the number and suits. For a spell such as Lady Justice's Combat Prowess it states that the power effects a target model and one friendly model per Ram in the casting total. So for simplicity sake lets say she flips an 8 of Rams when attempting to cast. Does that count as 8 Rams or only 1 Ram because it is only 1 Ram card? If it counts as 1 Ram and I used a soul stone and flipped another Ram card it would allow me to target a total of 3 models? I'm sure it seems like a silly question but I thank anyone who responds anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Its not a silly question (and one i have brought up twice in the main rules clarity threads as needing a basic example for new players). Its each 'card' that has that suit. So in your example you flip an 8:rams and (if) she has a :rams in her Ca stat then she would have 8+Ca stat and :rams :rams as her Duel Total. If she declared a SS use before flipping she could add a :rams to whatever she flipped giving her (three) :rams :rams :rams. I hope that made sense.

Ausplosions Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Note you musty choose to use a SS to gain a suit BEFORE flipping, not after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.F1n3 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 That clears it up thank you both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Not wishing to confuse you, btu both the answers where based in V2, where as your question was a V1 question. It doesn't change the answer in that you add your stat (In this cast 5:rams) to your flipped card. If you flipped a 8:rams you now have a total of 13:rams:rams which means that the combat prowess can effect the target and 2 other models as you have 2 rams. (They aren't targets of the spell but still gain the melee expert as long as they are within 3" of the target) In V1 you can't spend a soulstone to gain a suit, but you can spend a soulstone to flip an extra card, and this is done after you have flipped the first card. So say you flipped a 3:rams you would be at 8:rams:rams which is not enough to cast the spell. You could cheat from your hand, but you like that you have 2 rams so choose to spend a soulstone instead. This then means you flip another card and add that. If yuo flip a 4:crows then your final total is 12:rams:rams:crows which means you have cast the spell (since it requires 12:rams) and can target 2 extra models as you have 2 :rams in your final total.
