Dragonmage Question

By Evilrevenant, in Warhammer Invasion Rules Questions

Hi guys,

I have a question concerning Dragonmage. In the scenario where Dragonmage is declared as a defender, if the total damage dealt by the attacker is 10, will Dragonmage prevent all the damage besides 1 to itself and prevent all the damage to the capital? or only the first 3 damage is assigned to it and another 7 damage will hits the capital this way? Thanks!

Dragonmage is a cancellation effect, and you have to deal fatal damage to a unit (considering all cancellation effects) before assigning to a capital. Since you can't deal fatal damage to him (much like Swordmasters of Hoeth), you can't assign any damage to the capital and he soaks up all 10. If he only had 1 HP remaining, however, then he would only take 1 and 9 would go to the capital.

I see, so thats how it works. Thanks for the clarification on the cancellation effect. So Dragonmage can be used as some sort of tanker as well hehehe... cool.gif

If you want to be really mean...put dragonmage on the quest that lets him defend any zone...then put gromril armour on him.
