Couple of Questions About Cards

By daedel2007, in Talisman

Hi all ,

If a character draws a card and it' s one of those locations that makes you put 4 counters on it (craft, life, etc), can the character that draw the card pick one of this counters in ? We have ruled until now that yes, since per the rules you have to follow location's orders, but want to confirm this...

And another maybe noob: evading it's automatic?

Thanks all.

You do get any benefit that might be available from places like Fountain of Wisdom or Magic Stream when you're the who drew it.

As for Evading, depends on what you mean. If by automatic you mean that there is no roll/check to see if you succeed, then yes. If you mean anybody can choose to do it, then no, need special ability (Elf-Woods, Dwarf-Hills) or Spell to do it.

Some followers and maybe even some objects also allow evading.

Followers I can recall Pixie (Woods) and Gnome (Hills), but are there any Objects?

I wasn't sure, that's why I said maybe. happy.gif

I wouldn't mind seeing something like a Cloak or Ring of Invisibility that would allow you to Evade at certain spaces (maybe it is keyed to certain type of magic, like Evade at Plains would be tied to Air magic).
