Wild Card Vs Conan/Crown
Published on 25 March 2009 - 04:03:08

 

The rules state: "When selecting a wild die, a player may never choose an action that would have been available to him had he selected a different available fate die."  Then uses the military, Intrigue, military/intrigue as the examples.  

The rules also say when doing the Court action he "...ignores the Conan part of the instructions..."

 

So the question:

Can a player choose the Wild die to do a Court action if there is a Conan + Court action die available? 

We played it as she/he could use Wild as court even if the Conan+Court was available (since technically they are different) but am looking for something official.

Thanks!

Skilled in combat, music, and medicine, he was the tutor of the heroes Aesculapius, Jason, Hercules, and Achilles.  Chiron eventually surrendered his immortality with Zeus placing him among the stars as Sagittarius. There are two accounts of why this surrender took place: one is to help free Prometheus and the second is to stop the pain after being accidentally struck by a poison arrow shot by his friend Hercules.

Not official, but I would say "No".  If there is a "Court + Conan", you would need to use that die before using a "Wild" for a Court-Only action.  Besides, when would you ever NOT want to take a "Conan" action, as long as you were already planning on taking the "Court" action?

In our case the 'Wild' die was preferable to the 'Conan+Court' die as it prevented another player from taking the 'Wild' die.

 

Sounds like one vote for 'Wild-Court' is close enough to 'Court-Conan' that it (Wild) can NOT be taken if 'Court-Conan' is available....That would have broken the tie we had in our group (fyi I voted same as you but it was my 'Wild-Military' action that was being prevented)  ... has anyone else seen anything official and/or had to deal with this situation?

This is exactly why the official answer is: NO!
