High Places says "special ability" not "the play-as in the REG".

Very good that clarifies a couple questions then... REG play as is not official rather an explanation of how the card be played in layman's terms. Once again, another reason why not to fully trust the REG

This isn't true. Play As' are valid. They integrate the game's terminology to previously issued cards to make the game more consistent in the abilities on cards.

Didn't say it wasn't valid, just not to trust it where it comes to play as

That's not quite true. An errata replaces the actual text on a card for all intents and purposes. A play-as does not change what a card does or replace it's printed SA, it simply updates old messy wording with new clean wording. The only time not to trust the play-as in the REG is if it actually does something different than what the original card does.

Quick clarifying question.

If you block with Lepers and the disease heroes are discarded due to lower stats, does the still spread like the Leprosy enhancement does (since it does say they are get Leprosy and Leprosy does spread)?
