The REG 3.1.0 was released today on the Cactus Game Design website. All updates are effective immediately.

http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/downloads/REG_PDF_3.1.0.pdf

The following changes were made to REG 3.1.0 Special Abilities.

Special Abilities > When one or more characters are played and have more than one special ability (including gained abilities, cards placed or held), perform the abilities in this order:

Special Abilities > Complete band abilities and exchange abilities that bring a character into battle.

Convert > Default Conditions > Convert abilities are permanent unless a duration is specified.

Discard > Default Conditions > Discard abilities cannot target a Lost Soul card in play unless a Lost Soul target is specified.

Discard > Default Conditions > When a Lost Soul is discarded from a deck it is put into its owner's Land of Bondage.

Heal > Special Conditions > A heal ability that targets a card in a discard pile includes a search of the pile for the target.

Rescue > Special Conditions > (removed the following superfluous language) Otherwise, if a rescue ability is negated, then the Redeemed Soul is returned to the Land of Bondage it came from and becomes a Lost Soul.

Taunt > Default Conditions > Only the first taunt character to enter battle may use the taunt ability.

The following glossary entries were added in REG 3.1.0.

Antediluvians, Cloud Cards, Edomites, Exodus Sites, Flood Survivor, Genesis 6-10 Card, Genesis 12-24 Card, Genesis Sites, Gideon in the Title, Joshua Card, and Random.

If you want this thread to stay "clean" let me know and I'll split this question from it, but this means that we complete everything not listed first then band or is the band the very first thing that completes now?

Banding still happens when it always has as you resolve abilities for characters entering battle, their weapons, Enhancements placed on them and other triggered abilities. The only real change is that the order of operations doesn't apply to Enhancements played during battle. Those are resolved as written.

Given that the individual son cards are listed, is there a specific reason Noah's Sons was left off the antediluvian and flood survivor lists or was that just an oversight?

That's just an oversight. Noah's Sons are listed elsewhere (the generic section I think) as the same unique character as Shem, Ham and Japheth.

I just noticed today that in the Prophet glossary section this sentence can be found: "Several Redemption® cards refer to enhancements that are prophets."

I assume that should be "refer to characters that are prophets" unless something else was intended with that sentence. But either way enhancements aren't/can't be prophets.

Good catch! That error has been there at least since the REG changed from web based to PDF. It was probably copied over from the old web based version. We'll get it fixed with the next update.

This hasn't been updated on LoR yet: http://landofredemption.com/?page_id=2741

Thank you. That's been fixed now.

The REG link be broke. 

Newest REG can be found on Land of Redemption. Its 5.0 now.
