If you do it'll probably be because you're choosing not to use it.

A few comments/spoilers Yay! Spoilers!1) If you like Red Warriors, get excited, Benny is like the third best card they're getting this year.2) I wouldn't worry too much about losing Rahab, you'll find a couple ways to generate souls next year.3) No crazy speed for Red, but I've never considered them to be slow... David and Ishmiaih get me where I need to go usually
Quote from: KoalaKing on March 09, 2018, 10:29:28 PMTaking from the Emperor Caius Caligula example, does Unity imply that have to be "yours" as in, owned and controlled by you?As the example with Emp. Caligula, if you banded him into battle from your opponent’s territory, and all of your ECs were not Roman then his ability wouldn’t work. However, if all of your ECs happened to be Roman then his ability would work, even though you temporarily control him.

So multi brigade O.T. heroes like Dave the Shepard and Joshua, Son of Nun won’t turn off new Benaiah?

Love is a perfect way to get around a good brigade restriction on your Unity clauses. Now we just need to be able to add or change references, identifiers, and Warrior statuses. I got it! New Soul Idea!Lost Soul (Edit) X = # rolled on any # sided dieWhen put in territory convert a character to any brigade of matching alignment. You may have that character gain or lose warrior class, an identifier, name, artist, rarity, trade value, and/or a book reference. Redistribute ability points on the character as you choose. If the card has no ability Character gains the ability to search anywhere (including the internet) for a card with an errata and play it time as written regardless of erratas, restrictions, physically being present, and judges rulings. Copy these effects at any time up to X times at any point after this card has been played (including any future games). Must be rescued X times. If this lost soul would be fully rescued rip this card in half X times to begin a new game instead.Note: I started this out as a legit ability in my mind but then I was like nah, lets go crazy.

Old themes revisited. Feel like we're going in circles.

But why would it matter if his ability worked anyways? You’ve got your opponent’s CoL that you could use for a couple of turns! Hopefully she’ll be full loaded too.

Like, if you give me your Canaanite with Canaan I can still discard your fortress with Caligula if all my other EC's are Roman. So shouldn't Unity work the same way?
I'm not sure if an elder wants to confirm this or not but the way I understand Unity is that it is a direct replacement for the text "if all of your x are y"
Thanks! Also, would the converted weapon's ability be able to be used by Benaiah (so long as it didn't target another Hero)? Like if it was Namaan's Chariot & Horses, would he be able to do the D2 + play?
So his ability is negate other characters and enhancements (except good weapons). I’m assuming this means all enhancements played on him and him alone aren’t negated, but why would the “except good weapons” clause be in there? Is that because of any heroes banded to Benaiah who use good weapons?
Late but still I want to repeat my comment from LoR here:Good idea regarding that identifier.Maybe its only me but even though currently all these always increasing abilities are making the game more interesting and interactive they are getting nearly unrulable!Thus the game mechanics become more and more broken IMHO (just have a look into the ruling boards)!For example: During past week we had several matches with starters and there was not one single match without a question regarding interaction of cards we could not answer (at least not without REG, ORDIR or the forum – some of them we could not solve).So while enjoying more and more complex and interactive abilities I fear the game mechanics might be broken beyond repair some day! (Maybe I will start a new discussion about that ...)
