Also Helm of Her Secrecy in the case of Nazgûl Auto-Attacks, Motionless Among The Slain, Adunaphel Unleashed, and Gold Chains In The Wind.
The game is flawed, but this does not mean it cannot be loved.

About the playtesting thing: IIRC we have decided (or wanted to?) that every new errata issued by the CoE shall be playtested for some time (half a year?) before it will become really official. If it fails the playtesting phase the errata will be withdrawn then. I think we should add something like this to the newly rewritten charta.

One of the worst things you can do to any process is drag it out longer than a couple of months. Usually, that turns it into a slow death. Half a year is overkill on playtesting if you're serious about it. If you're not serious about it, why bother?

I agree with Ben on this one. Two months seems more than enough.Bandobras Took wrote:One of the worst things you can do to any process is drag it out longer than a couple of months.

Sounds fine.
When facing an automatic attack, you may only play resources that state they are playable on an attack or strike or a character/company facing such. You may not play such a resource if it specifies it may not be played on automatic attacks. When facing an attack created by a card with multiple effects, you may only play resources that state they are playable on an attack or strike or a character/company facing such.

(i) changes in facing automatic-attacks need to be applied to facing attacks from cards with multiple effects as wellThorsten the Traveller wrote:You hinted this would be "a big change with some ramifications", but I have not seen those personally.
(ii) these changes will create (new/old) decktypes that currently do not work (Sojourn in Shadows active RW)
(iii) they will also alter the way people can get past some requirements to get MPs (cards affecting strike assignment vs. Smoke on the Wind)
(iV) they will overturn digests directly regarding the matter
(v) they will affect the interpretation of related rulesmatters (what's playable in the strike sequence)
(vi) anything else that might come up in playtesting
Those seem like pretty big changes to me, but I do think this is good for the game.

ok, I can see that from the perspective of a rulesmeister this would seem like a big change
Well Akhorahil was already Sojournying his way through middle earth, now he can misguide some Hobbits at Bag End, great!, Some more active RW's is not a bad thing. Motionless Among the Slain on Smoke on Wind, sounds like a real navy seals operation
