Totem Staff

By alboy, in Runebound

The always on Weapon Totem Staff says Your Hero may attack during one extra phase each round.

Does this mean if you have 2 Allies you can attack 4 times each round, 1 each for the Allies & 2 for your Hero.

Or is it 2 attacks for your Hero but only 1 of your Allies can attack.

If your Hero can attack 2 times does this mean if he attacks first in Body does his second attack have to be in Body also, or can he choose any of the 3 ways to attack the second time.

Remember that a combat round includes only Ranged, Melee, and Magic. During those three rounds you can only attack or defend once, regardless of hero or ally.

So... You can attack in two phases of combat and you can pick one of your allies to attack in the third. Or you can attack in 1 phase and your allies can both attack once.

If you get familiar with the lexikon, you always find the answers to your questions. I'm not a Runebound expert; I've played it about ten times and never found a card that I could not solve according to the rules. Runebound is a very clear game, it has simple and well organized rules, except for that "special ability issue" which is still unclear to me.

Totem Staff doesn't say you may attack one more time each round. It says you may attack during one extra Phase (Ranged, Melee, Magic) with your Hero. If you're alone, you may attack in 2 Phases of your choice instead of only one. If you have one Ally, you may attack with the Ally in one of the Phases and with your Hero in the remaining two Phases, if you wish.

l think l am trying to read too much into the cards, thanks again.
