New Player needs help on PvP battles

By coobe, in Talisman Rules Questions

got my game today and having great fun. but one thing isnt so clear from the rulebook:

when i move on the same field as another player and want to battle him. does he have to take the fight ? i mean the rulebook says he can avoid it. so i cant force someone to fight ?

thanks in advance

Hi Coobe,

If you want to encounter him, he must fight you, unless he has a option that he can evade you( because of a special ability or spell card) Otherwise he has no choice and must cross swords with you !

thank you ! its much clearer now. so i can force my human opponent to battle me physically and psychological only if my card says so. encountering monsters does result in battles as well, i learned.

really awesome game, my dwarf got beaten by my girlfriends thief so severe. but still :)

Yes, if you have for example the Wizard, then you can use his special ability to attack a other player with craft ! Very nasty if that other player has low craft gui%C3%B1o.gif

In the normal way, this is not possible, and if a character has not that ability, then they will attack each other with strength gui%C3%B1o.gif

Strength type enemies,creatures do you fight with strength and craft type enemies,creatures do you fight with craft gui%C3%B1o.gif

Maybe it's time to take your revenge on your girlfriend demonio.gif

oh we i did, we didnt finish the game last night and took it up today. i had SO much luck in the inner region... she was down to 2 life and i still had 5.

normally i dont like luck games, but talisman is so rewarding even if you have bad luck so you dont really notice it.

next game i need to play the monk :)

thx for all your help

Remember, he only gets Craft value = starting Craft = +3 to his combat, not current Craft. Are you picking your chars? Random is the way to go gui%C3%B1o.gif .
