Title: Discarding Naaman from Hand
Post by: BubbleBoy on October 19, 2008, 12:14:45 PM

Would Naaman become a red brigade hero, or would his ability never be able to kick in?

Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Grey • Ability: 8 / 7 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: O.T. Enhancements used by Naaman cannot be negated. The first time Namaan is about to be discarded, heal him and convert him to a red brigade Hero. • Identifiers: OT Male Human, Commander (Syria), Fought Earthly Battle • Verse: II Kings 5:1 •

I would think he would have had to enter battle once to activate his SA by default, but "The first time" clause causes me to pause.


Godspeed,
Mike

He has to be in battle for his s.a. to be active. So now, he'd just be dead as a doornail.

What clause? The first time clause? How can it work if it isn't active?

Naaman has to enter battle for his SA to work. So, discarding him from hand would.....well, discard him.


Godspeed,
