if 'a' = 'one' and is defined as such by redemption context, and if the branch worked in the way i originally thought, then yeah, i see no reason why you couldnt discard 1.5 giants.
How do you discard half a card?

Quote from: YourMathTeacher on December 19, 2009, 09:35:56 PMOK. But in the mean time, the rest of us will use the REG definition of Increase/Decrease special abilities to make our rulings. In this case, you now have a 9/6 Elders of the City who, if he has a successful RA, will place one EC in your opponent's LoB.fixed. you still have yet to prove your opening argument.

Increase/Decrease is a special ability. The quote tells what those special abilities affect, which would be the abilities of the character (which ironically the same REG quote also defines). The one REG quote defines Increase/Decrease Special Abilities and what abilities they affect.You can't get much more clear than that.
sure you can, by saying increase/decrease doesnt affect special abilities, which the REG does not make clear. natch.
or, the REG could just include that increase/decrease only affects abilities. duh.
it does not say increase/decrease is EXCLUSIVE to abilities only.
im failing to see your point.
This is what you asked for:Quote from: Master KChief on December 20, 2009, 04:51:04 PMor, the REG could just include that increase/decrease only affects abilities. duh.That's what the REG says.The REG only says what it affects, not what it doesn't affect.
It is exclusive to "ability (strength and toughness)" because that is what it says.
and for the record, NVGs own.
this was not proven to be the case until maly ruled. does the above REG excerpt say what maly said? no? ok then.
The Branch has an increase/decrease ability. Increase/decrease abilities affect strength and toughness.
he made increase/decrease exclusive to number abilities only.
where does this even suggest that increasing and decreasing is EXCLUSIVE ONLY TO ABILITIES? that is what im asking. that is what you are failing to prove. that is what you CANNOT PROVE, BECAUSE IT IS NOT THERE. does it say increase/decrease ONLY affects strength and toughness? no.
Ongoing Abilities > Increase or Decrease (up or down) Ability (what it affects) > General DescriptionThese cards increase or decrease the ability (strength and toughness) of characters in a prescribed way.where does this even suggest that increasing and decreasing is EXCLUSIVE ONLY TO ABILITIES?
i did it by adding two and two together. branch says to increase the [abilities] by 50% of the value printed on the card. on ttl, [abilities] = [special abilities]. adding both together, what do you get? there was my proof.
