different between “immune to opponent’s event” and "cannot be chosen as the target of an opponent‘s event"? both consider as immune to event?
an immune question
the difference is i can affect a char without targeting it. An event "choose a char, that char gets -1str" is targetting something. An event "all chars get -1str" isnt targetting anything.
In general, remember that immunity does two separate things:
- The immune card cannot be chosen as the target of whatever it is immune to.
- The immune card ignores the direct effects, targeted or otherwise, of whatever it is immune to.
"Cannot be chosen as the target of…" is therefore different from immunity because it only covers #1, not #2. The difference works out as dcdennis described above.
And, if I remember correctly, immunity is referred only to the card, not to its effects or power on it. So, if an immune-to-events character triggers a response, that response could still be canceled by a cancel event. Do I remember it right? At first blush, I can't find the related rule. Maybe, it's infered by "A card's immunity only extends to effects that would ordinarily be applied to cards of the immune card's type." ?

Also, as mentioned in another thread, there is the distinction that if something, like Condemned or Den of the Wolf, gets rid of "immunities" then the "cannot be targeted" effect would remain, as it is not an "immunity."
