Lord of the Pit and the Martyr

By dolanlangdon, in Talisman Rules Questions

I recently got Talisman for the PS4 and have really been enjoying it and I was playing as the Martyr last night and I wasn't able to sacrifice a life to defeat the Lord of the Pit. Can anyone tell me why I wasn't able to? Are enemies that you have to choose craft/strength not affected by the sacrifice ability?

Welcome to this great game. ;)

Depends. If you only had one life left, you can't use that ability.

Did you fight via psychic combat? (craft) - The Martyr's ability only works for battles. (strength)

It may also be part of the digital version, as the people responsible for it tend to alter some of the rules from the board game itself. (Then again, the Martyr is not an official Talisman character, it was fan-made and published in a magazine (like some others) some time ago.)
