I have several characters decreased below */0, placed in Goshen. Can I play a heal to bring them back to full strength? New REG says no, but thought I'd double check. To me, it seems that the only way to recover lost toughness with a heal is if the character is poisoned.
Goshen (P)
Type: Fortress • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect contents from all effects. If your Genesis or Exodus Hero has toughness */0 or less, you may place it here instead of discarding it. • Play As: Protect contents from harm or effect. Place or return Heroes during your Preparation Phase. If your Genesis Hero or Exodus Hero has toughness */0 or less, you may place it here instead of discarding it. Goshen may hold any number of Heroes of up to three brigades. • Identifiers: Play to territory. • Verse: Exodus 9:26 • Availability: Promotional cards (2008 Local Tournament)
A character healed from the effect(s) paired with a poison ability gains back any strength and toughness lost because of it. A character healed from the effect(s) paired with a poison ability remains in the location it is in. A character healed from a discard ability is moved to its owner's territory. If a character is discarded and healed later that turn, it regains any lost abilities or effects of being discarded (i.e., returning to face value in the discard pile).
