Archive of Arrizon Questions

By SpawnGarret, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

It is written that Arrizon is a character, not a monster.

So:

1. Can he attack twice?

2. Can he perform any other actions (revive, open doors, search etc)?

3. Can he use a Heal ability on other heroes?

I need to read my quest guide, which I don't have with me right now.

Then, the heroes place the master flesh moulder in an empty space adjacent to a hero.

This is Arrizon. Place the current act's "Flesh Moulder" Monster card in the heroes' play area.

Arrizon applies +8 to his Health. He is treated as a hero figure and not a monster; he activates once each round after any hero turn and is controlled by that hero player; he cannot recover <heart> except from the "Mend" ability, is immune to all conditions, and passes all attribute tests. Each time Arrizon suffers <heart>, each hero adjacent to him may choose to suffer 1 <heart>. For each hero that does, Arrizon reduces the <heart> he suffered by 1.

<...>

As an action, Arrizon may burn a document adjacent to him.

If he does, reveal that objective token and place it in the heroes' play area. Documents adjacent to 1 or more monsters cannot be burned.

In that case:

1. Because he's not a monster, his 1 attack limit is removed.

2. I see no indication that his ordinary action options are altered (other than the prevention of healing) so he could move, attack, open a door. He could not search, and I don't think he could revive a hero (though that last one might be worth asking FFG about.)

3. There is no indication that the text of his heal action is unchanged, so he would still have to pick a monster, not a hero.

I was going to say that he can use mend on a hero, which would be almost as good as a revive, but you're saying because of the wording that wouldn't work.

:o

Maybe the question should be sent in to see if he can revive or mend heroes or not at all.

Mend is just for the flesh moulder- but in terms of heal, I'm just saying there are no instructions to reword it, so there is no indication it doesn't still target monsters. It would be different if it said "choose a friendly figure" but it clearly says "monster".

I still think it is a good idea to ask both for Revive and Heal for the sake of clarity.

I think the next line of the quest rules is "Arrizon may only recover (hearts) from Mend".

True, but that doesn't limit what other figures can recover from his abilities- just that HE cannot be healed except by "Mend."

can the disciple use "prayer of healing " on arrizon?

can a hero use "health potion" on arrizon?

No. Arrizon can only recover hearts via the Mend ability.
