There is a trinket that lets you sac it anytime to evade a enemy or char or a spell like invisibility.
If Player A lands on Player B and encounters player B not the space and casts psionic blast, can Player B then sac the trinket to evade Player A?
in order to evade, when can Player B sac the trinket? in response to Player A landing on the space? in response to encontering the the player B? in response to him casting psionic blast? in response to the decloration of rolling dice for the battle?
Book rules say:
but going by the rules, by the time you get to "cast spells" spells like invisibility would be cast too late because you already past the "evade" part so cases like that do card rules overturn book rules?
Battles Between Two Characters
Battles between two characters are resolved in the following
steps:
1.Evade
The character being attacked first has the opportunity to
evade. If he chooses not to, or is not successful, then battle
takes place.
2.Cast Spells
Both characters have the opportunity to cast Spells before
the dice can be rolled. Any effects or abilities that affect a
character’s Strength or Craft must be implemented before
the attack roll is made.
3. Determine Attack Rolls
Both characters then roll a die to determine their attack
roll. Once both attack rolls have been made, the attacking
character must choose first whether to pay fate to reroll.
Once he has chosen, the defending character has the same
option. No matter what the defender chooses, though, an
attacking player who decided not to spend fate when he
had the opportunity may not change his mind after the
defender has made his own choice.
4. Compare Attack Scores
Once the option to spend fate has been addressed, the at-
tacking character’s attack score is determined as in battles
against creatures and Enemies. The defender’s attack score
is determined the same way as the attacker’s score. The
Evading
Characters sometimes have the option to evade creatures and
other characters, such as by casting an Immobility or Invis-
ibility Spell. The evading character cannot then affect or be
affected by the character or creature in any way.
Only other characters can be evaded in the Inner Region; crea-
tures from board spaces there cannot be evaded.
Encounters that may be evaded are:
1. Anything that attacks a character.
2. Any character attempting to attack or use a special ability.
3. Creatures that appear as a result of an Event, Place, or
Stranger card (e.g., the Dragon from the Cave Adventure
Card).
but stuff in the rule book can be overturned by cards.
