If I have an Evil Character like Orpah (Reg listing below) and I enter battle and there is only one hero and no Ruth or Naomi she becomes a 7/8.

If we both play a few enhancements and one of the enhancements lets the hero band an additional hero into battle does Orpah's stats decrease to 3/4?

Or does she maintain the 7/8 since the deciding factors were not there when she entered battle?

Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Grey • Ability: 3 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Orpah's abilities increase to 7/8 if blocking a lone Hero unless Ruth or Naomi are in battle. • Play As: Orpah's abilities increase to 7/8 (and no higher) if blocking a lone Hero unless Ruth or Naomi are in battle. • Identifiers: OT Female Human • Verse: Ruth 1:14-15 • Availability: Patriarchs booster packs (Common)

Since this is the only Orpah ruling thread, I decided to keep this question with it.

If Orpah is set aside with Large Tree for 9 turns (and should be increased 9/9), what are her stats?

1) 12/13 against a non-lone hero, Ruth, or Naomi and 16/17 against a lone hero except Ruth or Naomi
2) 12/13 against a non-lone hero, Ruth, or Naomi and 7/8 against a lone hero except Ruth or Naomi
3) Something else

Thanks!

Good point about #2... So what happens? Is she 12/13 no matter what at that point?

"Increase to 7/8" means it's not 1).  I think it's also not 2), since that's not an increase.  So I think her ability doesn't work once her abilities pass 7/8.

If I had to make a ruling on this today, I would agree with Aggie.
