Goliath Question

On Goliath's Armor and Goliath's Spear, it say that he may "retain them as a weapon".
Can he hold both at the same time, or hold more than one?

I don't see why he couldn't retain both. He was in the Bible, and nothing in the rules say otherwise.

I agree, in reality someone could have armor, a spear, and a shield. I don't see why he shouldn't be able to hold his namesakes.

Does that mean my Huge Egyptian can both be on a horse and holding a spear?

I don't see why not, as long as he's on a Clydesdale.

The one weapon per character rule is found in the REG entry on WC characters, not WC enhancements.  So Goliath can hold both, but Huge Egyptian can't.

Quote from: REG
Warrior Class Characters
This is a special kind of character marked by a shield icon below its icon box. A warrior-class character may hold one weapon-class enhancement outside of battle.

Hmm.  Interesting concept, I was under the impression that Goliath was Warrior Class.

One of them is.  So the old one can hold both, but the new one can only hold one.  I think I'm reading that correctly. :)

Abilities override game rules, generally, so strictly speaking if you played Armor on WC Goliath during battle (or in territory via High Places), he'd be able to keep it due to Armor's place ability. Then, he could also hold an actual weapon via his WC status (like Spear, or something else). Armor just says hold, it doesn't say "as a weapon" like Spear, so I think this works.

Technically, armor isn't usually a weapon.

I would say he holds one by Warrior Class rules, and one by Identifier rules.

(assuming you are using the new Goliath)

Whichever actually.
And in T2 could he hold two of the same weapon?
Goliath's Armor + Goliath's Armor + Goliath's Spear + Goliath's Spear?

Dats pretty nice.
8/10 x2 x4 + 0/5 x2 x4 + 10/10 = 74/130 + Foolish Advice = Wyn.
Then convert.
WOOT!

Gather him to TSA.

But your math is a bit wrong. it wouldn't be 8/10 x2 x4. No name on name for special abilities.

Only the printed numbers are affected by name-on-name, not increases or decreases via special abilities.

So WC Goliath only becomes 18/20 even with NoN bonus?

In the case of cards with ability increases in the special ability, if there would be a name-on-name bonus, you either choose to use the NoN bonus OR the special ability increase, not both.

Gotcha. Used to play he was 26/30, banded to Saph, Ishbib (w/ spear) and Lahmi (w/ spear). Major numbers FTW.

Oh well. Now he is only 66/120.
This is an awesome idea can we move this to combos or something?
