EntrepeNinja Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Let's say Hoffman hires the malifaux child. Here why- I really want to be able to loop on multiple fronts. I was hoping there'd be a way to do so through a watcher, or a mechanical attendant- something. But at this point I can't see one besides letting the malifaux child aspire to mechanical greatness with the "Just Like You" ability. Just like you reads, "Cast one of this Crew's Leader's Ca Action with an AP cost of 1. Cast suffers -3 pos twist to the cast, -twist to the damage. Presumably that means casting 3, target number 14, 11up to successfully cast. I love to run a metal gamin and loop him in which puts Hoffman at casting 8. And if he's got 2 constructs around him that puts him at a ca10. Do I get to factor either of those in when using "Just Like You"? For instance, if I'm operating optimally, and the loops are already in place on Hoff's side of the board, does the child come in at Ca7, meaning a 7 up to succeed? Or is he still at Ca3? Also- if I catch the trigger, do I get to try and cast again? Child can't be in the loop himself, so we'll never see his heal get any better... >.> But if he can reliably cast redirect power or update hardware, that would be pretty sweet. I would say my gut is telling me that that is not the case, and that i'll need 11 ups to make that work, and it will therefor be less than super useful for me, and I'll probably shy away, but I figured I'd ask.

zFiend Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I would suppose you make the cast with the base card stats so you'd need the 11. In no way am I sure about this though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Yep, it would be unmodified. Feedback specifically states that it's something you do for each duel hoffman (or the construct) participates in, not something that generally replaces hoffman's stats.

EntrepeNinja Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yeah, caught that. Also realized that you can't use the metal gamin's 8 casting for machine puppet, update hardware or redirect power as none of those are technically duels.

rgarbonzo Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Actually those are all examples of Simple Duels which would allow you to use Metal Gamin's Ca of 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
