The Warrior in the City Expansion

By Throdin, in Talisman Rules Questions

Hey Guys,

Just a quick question about the warrior in the City Expansion. I haven't come to play him yet but I had a question about his special ability in this expansion.

In the Armoury Shop Deck is a weapon called Flail.

It's described as:

FLAIL
Object
Weapon
You may roll 2 dice during

battle and add them together

to determine your attack

roll. If you roll doubles, your

opponent cannot add his

attack roll to his attack score.

The warriors Special Abilities that you may roll two dice in battle and use the higher attack roll to determine your attack score.

You may use two Weapons at the same time.

My question is: Can the warrior use 3 dice (2 from flail and 1 from Warrior Special Ability) and choose the highest result? Also, What if the warrior had enough money to buy two and dual wield these things? Can he roll at least 4 dice and overkill everything? lol

I just need to shed some light on the matter and hope you guys can help me. :)

Thanks,
Throdin.

One flail would be roll 2 dice if its a double opponnet cant add dice to attack strength then roll the extra die and take the two highest rolls. The doubles will have to be determined from the first 2 dice roll. If the warrior had two fails then its 2 dice work out doubles then another 2 dice work out doubles then one more and take the highest 4 dice.

well thats my take anyways?

Neither Flail nor Warrior's ability say "roll 1 additional die in battle"; they say "roll 2 dice in battle".

They cannot be stacked because the wording doesn't allow for stacking. If you have 2 Riding Horses would you roll 4 dice for movement?

The Warrior with a Flail either rolls 2 dice and adds them together or rolls 2 dice and selects one to use according to his Special Ability.

If he wields 2 Flails, one is useless. However, a Flail and a Battle Axe pack a wallop together, with a Bow as back-up weapon for additional power. asustado

Thanks guys!

That totally makes sense. Can't wait to play him now!

Cheers,

Throdin.

Yep Warlock is right i read it wrong..

I'm missing something, why are two flails not useable by the Warrior?

2 Flails cannot be stacked together (see earlier post in this thread)!

Ell.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I'm apparantly not getting something. The warrior card says that he may use two weapons, and the flail is just listed as a weapon - it doesn't say anything on the card about stackiing or a prohibition for any use. Is it because he can't use two of the same weapon? Does this mean that he can't use 2 swords also? If the problem is with using more than two dice, how can he use any weapon with the flail? Sorry for my ignorance.

Aah, that makes sense to me now. Thanks for the clear explanation.
