During our last game, my group came upon a disagreement about wether we could play the evade feat against an attack using the breath template. The whole argument revolved around the fact that the card says to ''play after a monster has made a successful magic or ranged attack against you'', leading to the question : what constitutes ''a successful attack against you''? Can anyone under the breath template play evade and thus make the attack miss everyone affected by the attack? What about blast or sweep? Is evade only useful against single target, non-area attacks, or can it be used against any successful magic or ranged attack which includes the hero playing it?
This is just one of the problems we've had with the wording of the feat cards. The disarm feat has a similar wording : ''Play when the overlord plays a trap card on you or any friendly figure within 3 spaces of you.'' Does this mean that it is only effective against traps that affect only the hero playing the feat, or only one hero within 3 spaces of the one playing the card? Can it cancel traps triggered by opening a chest or a door? Can it cancel scything blades or drugged darts, dance of the monkey gods and animate weapons?
Would we be wrong in assuming that ''playing a trap against you'' or ''a successful attack against you'' simply means a trap and/or attack which affects you? What about ''declaring an attack against you''? Does a breath/blast/sweep which includes you count as an attack declared against you, or does it have to be an attack which specifically targets you and only you?
Any help would be appreciated.
