Question

As monsters do not attack you if you land on a space with multiple monsters can you chose to attack just one of them or do you have to attack all of them?

You can choose which ones you attack and which ones you don't . If you storm the Dungeon with the Ogre Chieftain, no Strength Monster will stop you, in any combination.

However, if you leave any undefeated Enemy on the Space, you can't encounter cards with lower Encounter Number. It's not like "Evading" the Enemies.

Presumably you mean higher number ?

Dam said:

yep, i know htat, also, you cant loot any treasure, but just to clariffy, you can choose what to fight yes? only if they are enemy monsters, this would also be the case for minstral animals and dragons correct?

You mean like this FAQ entry ?

"Q3: The Minstrel draws a Dragon and an Object in the
Ruins. If the Minstrel does not attack the Dragon, does it
count as evading so he can take the Object?

A: No. Choosing not to attack an Animal or Dragon does not
count as evading. If there are any Enemies on the space and
the character did not defeat or evade them all, then he may
not take any Objects on the space." (p. 2)

was referring to the not attack part, if you drew two dragons or animals being the minstral, you could chose to only attack one, none or both

ososober said:

Yes. Though as Minstrel, would probably try to charm the animals.

Yeah, "lower" was only the physical position of cards once sorted as per Encounter Number.

Ogre Chieftain IS overpowered. He appeared in two games so far and won both, the first by chance because it was not played the right way, the second because he's just a damned Dungeon rusher. The only way to undertone him a bit is to remove Dungeon from the game.

Not very strange that I won my second game of Talisman (out of 25 played) with an overpowered Character. Still, I managed to get three defeats/stand-off results against a Lion in the early game, but that was it.

The Ogre is definitely a strong character,,but he can be beaten easily!! His low fate and craft can be very tough to overcome sometimes!

so in saying that he can choose to fight any number of the monsters, does this mean he can use the feature to not have them attack, choose 1 to dominate, and have the other just sit there and watch it get dominated?

that seems a little stupid to me.

I remember reading somewhere that a player may only use 1 of its special abilities per turn, and that all special abilities are on the right side of the card.

I consider this to INCLUDE the lines on both this and minstrel where it says Enemy MONSTERS will not attack you, but you may attack them.

So if you encounter a draw 3 cards, draw 3 str monsters:

imho you should either fight all 3, fight 1/3 or 2/3, or evade all.

not be able to evade 2/3 and dominate 1 (as imho its using 2 abilities on the card)

Monsters will not attack you, although you may choose to attack them.

whenever you defeat a monster in battle you may dominate it and keep it as a follower instead of a trophy.

so you still have to fight it and beat it it is not automatic

The one ability per turn is only for PvP, and even then only really affects the Sorceress (4 options) and Thief IMO.
