Instant Death

By rimmer3, in Talisman Rules Questions

Am I right that you can do nothing when the Basilisk rolls doubles ? You can't use fate . There is no spell that would save you. Armour doesn't work. No time for healing or St. Josephine ? No option?

But when you meet the Grim Reaper and roll 1, you can still use fate and reroll the die. Is that right?

Basilisk has rolled doubles in our game allready. But I had no idea that he kills your character completely. All lives! I've read it later here on the forum. He's such a rascal preocupado.gif

Basilisk is why you maybe save those crappy Summon Bear etc. Spells for, even if your character has Str 7+ normally. But yeah, Basilisk rolls doubles, time to dig out a new character, with the Reaper, you can use Fate, but if that comes up 1...

Thanks, Dam.

We play Talisman Bloodbath mode and there's only two of us. So basilisk's doubles mean end of the game for us sad.gif

I think, that Basilisk NEEDS to be reprintd in Forest expansion set then. gui%C3%B1o.gif

Only if all the Adventure cards (10-12) in Forest would be Basilisk. That would give 11-13 Basilisks in the, hmm 310+ Adventure card deck, one in every 30 cards or so. Okay, so the Forest deck could have Basilisk(s) as well, but Adventure decks needs more insta-kills.

I don't understand, why can't I use fate to reroll one of the dice after a basilisk insta-kill?

Because it's basilisk's roll. Not yours. You can't reroll your enemy's atack roll. Only yours.

Same with dice with death. You can't reroll death's dice. Only yours.
