Hi

I've seen a few threads on missing turns but nothing, I think, addressing this issue which cropped up in last night's game:

My character landed in the Crags and, rolling a 3, had to "miss next turn". The next player drew the Storm card, which instructed all players to "miss 1 turn". I pointed out reasonably that I was already missing my next turn, so the Storm had no extra effect on me. The others didn't see it that way, and felt I would have to miss 2 turns. I was forced to bow to the will of the mob.

I'd be glad of the enlightened view of the forum - What's the correct way to play this?

Unfortunately they were correct. Missing turns stack on top of each other. This is an official ruling given by John Goodenough the designer of the game! It follows the same idea as the Monk using a Psionic Blast, in this case he adds +6 to his Strength in battle (+3 Inner Belief & +3 Psionic Blast). Similarly, a character may even combine the effects of Warhorses!

Ell.

Curses! Thanks for the quick ruling.

Just as a side note, I managed to miss 3 consecutive turns by drawing Chill Wraith and Medusa together in the Hidden Valley and losing psychic combat against them. Missed turns stack now and IMHO this is good. At least you can prevent abuses by Characters like the Chivalric Knight and Highlander.
