I just checked something in the new and updated rules for descent and I do feel like this is a pretty major change.
It concerns the Golden rules, specifically the first one, I shall paste the old and new versions for clarity:
Many quest rules listed in the Quest Guide come
in direct conflict with the rules found in this
rulebook. The quest rules listed in the Quest Guide
take precedence over the rules in this rulebook.
Furthermore, some cards and abilities will come in
direct conflict with rules found in this rulebook and
the Quest Guide. Cards and abilities take precedence
over both the Quest Guide and this rulebook.
And now the new one;:
Some cards and abilities come in direct conflict withthe rules found in this rulebook. Cards and abilitiestake precedence over the rules in this rulebook.Furthermore, many quest rules listed in the QuestGuides come in direct conflict with cards, abilities,and the rules found in this rulebook. The quest ruleslisted in the Quest Guides take precedence over cards,abilities, and the rulebook.
...so for example, now you could not use Dash on Scarn in "Spread your Wings", since he may only take one move action, but you still could play Blinding speed on him.
...I think this is a very stupid idea, and likely it will not be the only case. It is a slight change, but it is actually rather far reaching, I would have to check how many scenarios might be drastically changed just by this ruling.
Has anyone asked about this change already maybe?
