not really, just a strategy idea that I hope works...

Player 1:
has 5 disciples in play and starts a rescue with James, Son of Alphaeus (Di) banded to Thadd.

Player 2:
Blocks with Simon the Magic Man.

Player 2:
Plays Babel (CBN) and brings in Fallen Warrior (ki) and Goliath (p)

Player 1:
Heroes withdraw, presents new hero- Mary Mother of James.
Plays Scarlet Line on Mary.

Player 1 makes a successful rescue...

Right?

Question: Does Fallen Warrior gain the */* of the 2 disciples?

James, Son of Alphaeus (Di)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Purple • Ability: 1 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Negate special abilities on Evil Characters (and weapons) with toughness X or less. May band to Thaddeus. •

Thaddeus (Di)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Purple • Ability: 8 / 8 • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect all cards in play, set-aside area, Artifact piles, hands, and decks from Evil Characters with toughness X or less. Cannot be interrupted. •

Simon the Magician (Ap)
Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Black • Ability: 4 / 6 • Class: None • Special Ability: Enhancements played with Simon may not be interrupted and prevented when played against N.T. Heroes unless Peter or Philip the Evangelist are in play. • Play As: Enhancements played on Simon cannot be negated when blocking N.T. Heroes unless Peter or Philip the Evangelist are in play.

Babel (Pa)
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Black • Ability: 1 / 3 • Class: None • Special Ability: All Evil Characters that holder chooses may enter battle. • Play As: Holder may band any number of Evil Characters into battle.

Fallen Warrior (Ki)
Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Black • Ability: 2 / 2 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: Fallen Warrior gains the cumulative abilities (*/*) of each Hero he successfully blocks. • Play As: Increase Fallen Warrior with the cumulative abilities (*/*) of each Hero he successfully blocks (stalemate or defeat). •

Goliath (P)
Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Black • Ability: 10 / 10 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: Return all Heroes in battle to territory (except giant-slayers). Opponent may present a new Hero. Negate all band, draw, and play abilities. Cannot be negated.

Scarlet Line (Wo)
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: White • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Female Heroes cannot be blocked by a male Evil Character this battle. • Play As: All female Heroes ignore all male Evil Characters. •

So if player 2 played devourer and it ended there, he would?

I would say no because they werent in battle at the time it ended and so he did not defeat them.

I would say that FW doesn't gain the numbers primarily because James is negating FW's ability.

But in order to successfully block a Hero, you must stop the rescue from happening. That didn't happen, so no gain even if the gain wasn't negated.

I would think so.  I can't wait for the fun of Goliath.

lol why your wife just get johnathon to play heh

lol
