We had a situation arise in today's game. My youngest was playing Dr. Strange. The villain is stunned and confused. My lad casts Vapors of Valtorr to change the confused card to a stunned card. Now the rules state a character cannot be stunned twice, but the rules also say the text of a card takes precedence over the rules. As the card isn't stunning him directly, but changing one status card for another of your choice, we allowed Vapors of Valtorr to change the confused card for a stunned card, leaving the villain with two stunned cards.

In this instance I believe we have played it correctly? Do you agree?

No, Vapors doesn’t explicitly say that this effect can cause anyone to have two of the same status. That’s the only way a card could override that rule.

Vapors isn’t nearly as strong as his other invocations, since it requires somebody to have a status effect and you have to be willing to change that status effect, but it sortof balances him out a bit.

In that case, I'll have to sit my six year old down and explain to him he's a cheat! 😉
