Is being Gathered a weapon?
You bolded the area of the REG that says weapons act like regular Enhancements other than following the character to those specific areas. Therefore, I am going to go by that, and treat them like regular Enhancements, not placed Enhancements.
Isn't a "regular" enhancement on a character in a territory the same thing as a "placed" enhancement on a character in a territory? That's what I was thinking when I chose to bold that statement. I was thinkiing "regular" as opposed to "weapon-class."
If a character enters battle holding a weapon, and during the battle another weapon is played on the character, if the character survives battle, can it choose to discard the weapon it entered battle with and take the new weapon with it when it leaves battle?
So you're just responding with your own questions instead of answering mine? Thanks.
I really don't understand the point of this question, it doesn't do anything to explain why a weapon should be treated like an Enhancement that is being treated under the rules of a specific special ability rather than general rules regarding Enhancements.
Wasn't your question basically rhetorical? You know the answer, I know the answer, it really didn't need to be posted. Additionally I don't think that line of qestioning is going to get us anywhere.
The weapon is not "detatched" in battle, or no hero in battle could be bearing/holding a weapon, which is a state that is checked by some cards.
If the hero is holding a hand weapon then it should follow him to the draw pile if he is truly holding it.If the enhancement is not attached then when set aside the weapon is discarded.
Weapons...have only the advantages of being placed outside of battle and following the character to the specific areas mentioned in the REG...
emphasis added I think it is interesting that even you use the word "placed" to describe how WC enhs get put on characters in territory.
I hate these kind of conversations.
It seems to me that weapon class enhancements function more like placed enhancements than they do like "regular" enhancements. Namely in their primary characteristic: they can be present on a character in a territory (i.e. outside of battle).
If you had a place ability that said, "Place an enhancement from your hand on a character of matching brigade in your territory. Each time that character enters battle the placed enhancement activates." Wouldn't that function basically the same as a weapon?
That is the ONLY characteristic they have in common. In virtually every other respect they behave like regular Enhancements.
If a character is converted...set-aside...At the end of battle
I believe that weapons are more like placed enhancements than they are like regular enhancements and I believe it would be beneficial for the rules to reflect that more strongly than they currently do.
Why do the rules currently state that a weapon class enhancement on a character in a territory gets discarded if the character is returned to a draw pile?
