Should I be the one to say this:  This thread should not be a sticky.  It has turned into a general discussion about something else.

Yes there should be a sticky at the top of this about the unofficial answers to questions not in the FAQ, either by notes from Kevin, or general consensus, but it should be locked and only edited at the time a new official/unoffical answer becomes available.

With the forums as they are and little help from FFG, I dont think that is possible however.

 

 

 

Actually.. the thread was intendedo be used as a reference document from the old forum.  I wish I'd asked for it to be locked as well as stickied.

Moderators- could you please lock this thread before it gets out of hand?  (Or contact me and we can work something out where I will repost just the original section without any colors)

Thanks!

Or, if we cant do it on this forum, just let me know.  I will put a page on my website of "The unofficial Descent FAQ" and include everything.  That way, unless someone decides to hack into my website, nobody can change it bar me.  It could also be a home to list lots of different peoples house rules.  Only a thought, wouldnt take me long to set up, I would just want to get it right.

I would list everything which has been 'officially' ruled as long as someone can point me to the source, and then include everything else which is just general consensus.

 

 

All that we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

What happened to the wiki page of Descent? If I remember correctly, that is a fans-for-fans website and should still be on the air.

No idea where though...

a little outdated, though.

Excuse me for offering to host an updated version of the unofficial FAQ for everybody to make use of.  Maybe I wont bother now.

I figured it would only work if one person is responsible for updating it, because otherwise, lots of people will keep going on and changing it to what they think it should be, which is what happens with wikis sometimes

I really appreciate your offering and I like the idea.

I mentioned the old wiki spaces to prevent you or anyone else from doing any hard work without knowing what is already available. You might be very right about the business that it would help if only one person would be responsible.

As you well know, it was replying to your initial post which was somewhat insulting and out of place.  As such, the forum admins seem to have removed it.

Yep - thanks for the link.  As you say, a lot of the hard work has been done already, so if I do decide to start this, I'll be grabbing all of the stuff from the old wiki initially.

I had the idea because someone has created an unofficial FAQ for Tide of Iron, with lots of questions and answers which have been taken from "official" emails or forum posts by FFG staff.

Re: Regarding Tahlia and web/moving during OLs tur
Reply #13 - 01/30/07 at 06:53:23
Quote from Lorien on 01/30/07 at 06:31:00:
Let me get this straight:

Say Talia has a melee weapon equipped. She can use her guard order without any monster being adjacent the her and without being able to legally attack, just because her special ability allows her to possibly move into range of a monster before attacking.

Is the attack mandatory for her to get the movement? So can she just discard her guard and move to town without attacking anything?


Anyone can 'use' their guard order anytime they want to on the OL's turn. They don't have to have a legal attack to do so, they can just waste it. Tahlia is only different in that it actually matters for her.

The attack is not mandatory, merely the expenditure of the guard order.

-Kevin Wilson

So yes, Tahlia can spend her Guard order without attacking to gain movement points. Remember that anything that increases her speed will come into action here, like Tiger Tattoo and Swift.

This reponse should probably get added to the Gathered List of Answered Questions thread.

Copied verbatim: seemed like a good suggestion.

Question for the answer concerning the Reach/Sweep problem: Does reach (without sweep) ignore figures for the purpose of determining line of sight?

The answer to reach/sweep says that reach/sweep does ignore figures for the purpose of determining line of sight. This is unclear as it could mean that it only does for the combination of reach and sweep or that it does for both abilities as such.

Thanks for any help in advance. :-)

Its the combination.  Normally reach does not ignore LOS for determining the target square.

READ THE FAQ!!!!!!!!

Two questions, 1) in the JitD manual it says that the heroes may choose in which order they take their turns, in the quest guide it

says that the first player begins then the second player , etc...      What is now the truth?

2) The monster reference cards have numbers on them for with how many players you're playing, does the overlord count?

So level 5 monsters is for 4 heroes and 1 overlord?

Many thx

we're not supposed to post answers here to prevent discussion, but I believe both questions are covered by the rules.

1) The heroes choose their order. The hero player that goes first is the first player, the hero player that takes up the next turn is the second player.

2) the OL is counted as one of the players, so a 4-hero game will use the 'lvl 5' card.

Where is the Q&A regarding the fact that Tahlia explicitly receives MP (not just movement) with her interrupt attack?

I´m fairly certain there was an official answer from KW, but it isn´t included here.
