Title: Negating Characters Clarification
Post by: Crashfach2002 on September 14, 2011, 06:10:55 PM: If a characters ability is NOT cannot be negated, is the specific enhancement negateable, or is the enhancement CBN no matter what?

Examples:
Uriah the Hittite (RA2)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Red • Ability: 6 / 2 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: Protect Heroes in your territory from discard. After battle, if David is in play, discard Uriah and an Evil Character. Discard abilities cannot be negated. • Identifiers: OT Male Human, Canaan, Fought Earthly Battle • Verse: II Samuel 11:16 • Availability: Rock of Ages Extended booster packs (None)

Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Brown • Ability: 6 / 7 • Class: None • Special Ability: Search your draw pile for one Samaria Site and put in play. Land Purchase cannot be negated. • Play As: Search your deck for one Samaria Site and place in play. Land Purchase cannot be negated. • Identifiers: OT Male Human, King (Israel), Royalty, Fought Earthly Battle • Verse: I Kings 16:23 • Availability: Kings booster packs (Uncommon)

King Zedekiah (Ki)
Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Brown • Ability: 1 / 1 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: Dungeon of Malchiah cannot be negated. Discard Zedekiah after battle if a Babylonian character is in play. • Identifiers: OT Male Human, King (Judah), Royalty, Fought Earthly Battle • Verse: II Kings 24:17 • Availability: Kings booster packs (Uncommon)

Yes. And this is ALWAYS TRUE, even if it has a condition.

;) Couldn't resist.

So based on this, The Strong Angel doesn't allow the evil character's ability to activate, so do they still work?

Post by: lightningninja on September 14, 2011, 06:35:13 PM: Yes, the ability that allows a card to be cbn IS cbn by default. So if I attack with The Strong Angel, and you block with King Zedekiah, you can play Dungeon of Malchiah and it will not be able to be negated.
