question on the wand of dragonfire

By darthmax1, in Talisman Rules Questions

does the wand of dragonfire affect the character without all his added bonuses during combat??? such as lets say opponent has a colussus and tunnelfighter and is encountered in the dungeon,,,,does your total die roll plus your craft have to be higher than the opponents base strength,,,or does the die roll plus craft have to be higher than the opponent's strength plus his opponents bonuses such as the colussus and tunnelfighter for the fireball to do one damage???? so i guess the question is does the wand of dragonfire go against an opponent's regular strength or an opponents strength during battle???

The card says craft, and strength. If I remember correctly strength/craft means total strength/craft with all attributes, while when cards like this describe Strength value and Craft value ; its only the Strength/Craft value written on the character card (so no adds with any attributes..)

So,

Add your Strength/Craft = Strength/Craft with all attributes,

Add your Strength/Craft VALUE = Only the strength/craft number written on the character card (not modifiable..)

umm i don't think you are understanding the question,,,,the wand of dragonfire encounters the opponent before battle

this question is actually being asked by my friend, fast eddy...not sure why he doesnt sign into his account. what i think hes asking is this. before battle, he uses the wand. roll a die and add craft. lets say he is the priest. does he just add 4 craft ( his starting value) ? other things that could be added would include followers and objects that add to craft. such as psychic crystal or the maiden im fairly positive that he would not add craft bonuses that are only active during psychic combat, but what about the maiden and other things that give a constant bonus to your craft. what about your accumulated craft tokens?

that said, the final score is applied against my strength. same question here. what is my str equal to? start value?, counters? cards that give constant bonus( magic belt)? or ones that help in battle only ( again, im about positive that colossus and others and weapons wont help)

i dont realy understand what ur saying here. not very clear

Alright,

** (1) You may use the Wand when you are about to engage in battle with a character or creature. (2) Roll 1 die and add your craft. If the score is higher than the character's strength, he must lose 1 life. If the score is highter than the creature's strength, it is killed. Enemies kileld cannot be taken as trophies**

(1)

I understand this phrase as it occurs before the actual combat takes place (there is no attack rolls, the card text would rather say ''during'' combat or something..)

(2)

Again, it says add your Craft. Which means add all attributes from all objects, tokens etc, but (!) not the ones which says ** Add craft during psychic combat **.

Same with the opponent. He should add all his strength attributes from objects, tokens etc, but (!) not the ones which says **add strength during battle**
