Horned Rat Ruination
Published on 21 June 2011 - 16:11:52

The rules for the horned rat state that the cost of figures he has in a region are used in lieu of corruption tokens when determining if he is the first or second ruiner.  When the old world card from the new expansion that increases the power cost of all figures by one is in play, does the increased cost of a figure count towards ruination for the horned rat, or merely the printed cost?  I'm highly torn on this one; on one hand, the rules do not say the "printed cost," but on the other, the example in parenthesis lists the value of each figure and is totally silent on the subject of increasing power point costs.

Unless I'm missing something, then by the RAW the ruination value should be the total cost of summoning a figure into that region, but this seems wrong somehow.

"D&D Characters Die Frequently.  If you and your players refuse to embrace this axiom, you fall prey to an invulnerability that renders all the dangers impotent.  You simply reenact plots knowing that the hero always survives and wins.  ::yawn::  But in accepting it you spring headlong into a world of thrills n chills where failure and death are ever-present possibilities, surmounted only by the now-classic resolution: create another heroic wannabe and try to do better."  -Frank Mentzer.

 What you paid to summon a figure is not its summoning cost. The summoning cost is the printed value on its upgrade card/faction card.
