Evade other characters

By Comm, in Talisman

Hi all,

I'm sorry if this question has already been asked (and hopefully answered) before, but I've tried the search engine of this forum and it is horrible. I can't figure out how I can narrow my search to the Talisman forum only, so as a result I've had pages and pages from all FFG Forums (Arkham Horror, AGoT, Battlelore, etc.)

Anyway, here is my question:

When a character has the ability to evade other characters (e.g. the Elf in the Woods), does it protect him from the Thief's ability to steal one of his or her Object / gold, or from the Sorceress's ability to steal one of his or her Follower? And what about the Sorceress's ability to charm it ? (excuse me if the English terms are not correct, I've got the game in French).

A related question: can the Thief landing on the same space as another character steal one of his or her Object / gold and then attack this character ? Same question for the Sorceress and her ability to steal a follower ?

And, last question: I've read on this forum that there is a FAQ somewhere. Where could it be found ? (I'm using the 4th revised edition).

I'm glad to play this game again, it didn't happen for about 15 years (I think it was 2nd edition then), but the fun is still there. happy.gif

p. 14, about what exactly you can evade:

"2. Any character attempting to attack or use a special ability."

Either attack or use special ability. Encounter breakdown sheet on the back page is clear on this (separate line for each option).

Also, R4th doesn't have a FAQ yet.

I am currently working on an unofficial FAQ with Jon New, my good friend at Talisman Island. This will also be submitted to John Goodenough for appraisal and any other fellows assigned to the task of the official FAQ.
