General Description
A capture ability transforms a character into a “captured character” and moves it to a different location where it is
held captive. When a captured human character is in a Land of Bondage it is a Lost Soul as well as a captured
character.
How to Play
Only Heroes and Evil Characters can be captured. When a character is captured, all cards held by or placed on that
character are discarded. It ceases to be a character and becomes a captured character instead (that is, Heroes become
captured Heroes and Evil Characters become captured Evil Characters). Once the character becomes a captured
character, it is moved to the location where it will be held captive.
A capture ability targets the characters that are to be captured.
A capture ability is instantaneous.
A captured human in a Land of Bondage is treated as a Lost Soul.
Default Conditions
● Captured characters are held captive in the Land of Bondage of the player that used the capture ability.
● Targets must be in play.
● If a card places a character in a player’s Land of Bondage, that character is considered captured.
● Captured non-human characters are not Lost Souls. Rather, they are captured characters, which still retain their
alignment (good or evil). Therefore, a non-human cannot be rescued and scored as a redeemed soul.
● Captured characters retain their identifier(s) but may only be targeted as captured characters.
Clarifications
● The phrase “treat as a Lost Soul” printed on capture cards is a clarification reminding players of the game rule
that applies to captured characters that are in a Land of Bondage; it is not a special ability.
● The words “take prisoner” indicate a capture ability
Brigades on sites are considered "neutral" brigades.
3. Please tell me where does it say that the brigades on sites are considered "neutral" brigades?
REG 4.1.2 doesn't say it. It says:
- under Site: " A site in battle grants the Hero(es) in battle access to any Lost Soul in a site of
matching brigade."
- under Brigade: "The Heroes and Evil Characters are subdivided into brigades. The color filling the card’s
icon box indicates its brigade. See Anatomy of a Card in the rulebook.
The Hero brigades are as follows:
● Blue, Clay, Gold, Green, Purple, Red, Silver, Teal, and White.
The Evil Character brigades are as follows:
● Black, Brown, Crimson, Gold, Gray, Orange, and Pale Green."
It is true that the REG says Sites were neutral cards, but it also says site brigades were Hero brigades...
