does adino keep the 3/3 increase and why?

Same question with Gibeonite Trickery. Does the hero keep the increase? Why is the play as different from the special ability?

And finally, Does Strengthening Angel's heros keep increase?

REG:
General Description
These cards increase or decrease the ability (strength and toughness) of characters in a prescribed way.  The increase or decrease is a fixed number.  Some cards may affect more than one character.  The increase or decrease lasts until the end of the battle unless specified otherwise (i.e. end of turn).  After the battle, the characters not discarded in battle return to the territory with their original ability.  See Greater Worth for cards that increase at a variable rate, the rate dependent on other conditions.

Is this correct?

the real question is Would you have knocked over the vase if i hadnt have told you. nm

the issue with these cards is that all are increase abilities and Schaef said that heros keep the 1/1 increase from Strengthening Angel but according to the REG its until end of battle unless otherwise stated (as the play as on Gib Trick shows)


What about this card? a precedent? a confabulation?
Joel (FF)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Green • Ability: 1 / 1 • Class: None • Special Ability: Prevent all special abilities on brown Evil Characters. If Joel rescues a Lost Soul, he gains 1/1. • Play As: Prevent all special abilities on brown Evil Characters. Each time Joel rescues a Lost Soul, increase Joel by (1/1). • Identifiers: OT Male Human, Prophet • Verse: Joel 3:16 • Availability: Faith of our Fathers booster packs (None)

So Adino with a spear's increase is permanant also?

so what about the REG?

I do not understand all these unofficial changes? very unprofessional

Adino (Ki)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Red • Ability: 6 / 6 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: If Adino is holding a spear he gains 3/3 and prevents all special abilities except banding on non-weapon class enhancements. • Play As: While Adino is holding a spear increase ability 3/3 and prevent all special abilities on enhancements (except banding and weapon-class). • Identifiers: OT Male Human, Fought Earthly Battle • Verse: II Samuel 23:8 • Availability: Kings booster packs (Common)

Does Adino prevent all special abilities regardless if he is holding a spear?

No. and its just a prevention of abilities on non-weapon class enhancements.

yes!

yes!

OKAY! Just making sure.

On that thread, Schaef says Strengthening angel is permanent, but Gib Trick is not, and Plagued with Diseases is permanent if played as an enhancement.

I remember that thread... So confusing.

lololololol

Adino is ALWAYS holding a spear. look at the card guys.

LOL. So now the Special Ability is worthless and is just an identifier...
