Here are some questions about Soulbiter in Quest 7, "The Black Blade", from the Descent base game:
1) The quest says that soulbiter starts out as a melee weapon, though the card describes it as a ranged weapon and uses the ranged attack die. There is no mention of Soulbiter ever changing to be used as a ranged weapon. Does that mean it is always treated as a melee that uses the slightly weaker ranged attack die during that quest? And is it used as a ranged weapon for other quests (if any use it)?
2) The quest text says that it deals damage at the end of its weilder's turn if it isn't used to deal a killing blow. If player A hands Soulbiter off to player B who has already taken their turn (assuming they have the space to carry it) without having dealt a killing blow, then who takes the damage? Our initial ruling was that nobody takes the damage because player A is no longer wielding it at the end of their turn, player B has already taken their turn, and the hefty cost of 4 movement points to hand if off handicaps player A so they can't do much else. Thoughts?
