New question about some skill and some help to Rol pls!!

By Jack and THE Hammer, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hi som

Fly: enemy with fly, are immune to grapple skill? (i hate grapple for reason i'll tell'you soon)

Leap: the monkey with leap, can leap on wather? base manual say's wather can be pass, but it's two expansion before leap skill

in Rol, some skill, like leadership, or Astarra' natural skill are fixed, and their range diminished from 5 to 3, because in Rol the dungeon are more small. but ther's now another skill (i dont know the original name) how allow an hero who use a magic attak, to start his attak to another hero in a range of 10 space.

in 10 space an hero with this skill can take all dungeon's squares. it's correct or this skill was fixed without i've notice? (i hope it was because.... read more)

After this..i need help against my player pls

i've this F XD ing mage player freezed on the starting gliph, and use the skill above and fire breath to destroy all my minions everytime everywhere. The other heros ara super tank, they dont make much damage...but have grapple skill. Their standart tattics its' simply. Run on the monsters, grapple them, let the mage win.

i've lost all my lieutenant whit this tattics. i can F :-) ing move from my base! after 7 session they success even in killng sir. Alric(immune to everithing!!! the mage make 20/30 damage at any strike!) i'm alway constrict to run away, leaving my city conquest and starting again to my lair...

i've destroyed 3 cities only with special card... i'm really , really tired of this situation, they are to much strongand i've at last only ONE lieutenant(automaticaly escape at any combat) Aliza farrow, the useless.

i've chose the beast man lord as avatar and ossidiana's chain as purpose. i've raise my beast man to the silver level(all human monster) but i've remain whit only one lieutenant and the champain is now to silver level too, and i'm seriusly think to give up without condition.

someone can help me?

No.
Fly allows you to ignore terrain and move through figures. Grapple is not a terrain effect.

No. Water is still impassable. Leap is still a forn of movement and you can't move through impassable spaces, nor can you leap through (over) impassable spaces, even though you can leap over figures.

I am guessing english is not your first language, so that is a disadvantage. But still, get the FAQ, and read it carefully. Then read it again. Then again. gui%C3%B1o.gif

Most of your problems (the ones you have stated) are coming from incorrect rules.

However, sometimes the heroes will come up with good tactics. It is then your job to be inventive and come up with countertactics. Traps, treachery, do something different if what you are doing isn't working. Note however that by late silver you will probably get pasted no matter what. Heroes are weak early and strong late.
Unfortunately the Beastman Lord is not very flexible compared to some of the other Avatars.

Leap ignores obstacles and figures, so Leaping over water is perfectly legal.

Parathion is correct.

"A figure with the Leap ability can make a Leap attack. The figure moves in a straight line (vertical or horizontal, but not diagonal) up to twice its remaining movement, ignoring obstacles and enemy figures." (AoD p.9)

So how come you can Leap Attack over water but not just jump over water? :P

Yes, I know, an asinine question, just wanted to say it ;)

Because the bloodsquids can't reach you if you jump high enough, of course!

Because Leap is an Attack, not just regular movement. Bloodsquids are voracious, but they have no armor to speak of, so they stay down when someone Leaps. =P

you guest righ, i'm not english :P ('im from italy) i'll do my best but sometimes probably i've say silly things, sorry about that gran_risa.gif

by the way, my manual specificaly say "leadership envolve all ally miniatures in a range of 3 spaces from the model with leadership skill"

it's an italian edition mistake you say?

About Spiritwalker, you sure about that? i have a bad news for someone demonio.gif

so..i'm still not understand...leap can pass whater or not?

At least, the faq can help me to kill my palyers? i'm trin the beastman lord because i love beast man and i've supposde he have special power for them.... i've fail so much lengua.gif . i've hear the spider queen is one of the most stronger...someone can confirm this rumors?

Ohhh yeah, good point. Now that you say that, I picture the apes swiping up one or two blood squids for snacks and chowing down before they land.

sorry i figure now probably leadership is really COMAND skill (gains +1 damege and range at ally) . so i was talking about comand in that case when i've say is reduce from5 spaces in 3 in Rol

Command was always 3 spaces. (The heroe skill is Blessing but is identical to command and was also always 3 spaces).

I was wrong about the Leap. You can leap over water.

Sure -- Those things are delicious! Especially with some death garlic and a few leaves of strangler basil.

OMG you right ! So i've cheated for all this times?

well.. who cares my players never know this little mistake XD
