Otherwise, place this card with the Fallen-wizard. The Fallen-wizard’s player must use minion sites for Border-holds [ [-me_bh-] ], Free-holds [ [-...

Doubled Vigilance - needs an automatic attack on-guard?

I realize I'm opening a can of worms here looking back at previous topics on this card, but I haven't seen this point addressed specifically. 1) CRF states that Doubled Vigilance can be revealed on-guard. This seems to be accepted as a quasi-errata. (Let's just take this one at face value, I'm not t...

Multiple copies of Eye of Sauron

Pretty sure I know the answer here, but wanted to confirm my understanding of the rules. If two copies of Eye of Sauron are in play, the prowess of automatic attacks are still only going to increase by 1 (or 3 if DoN is in play) - not 2 (or 6) - because the effect is a result of a passive condition,...

Detainment and Trophies

This discussion was started in a different thread (https://councilofelrond.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5281) but I wanted to bring it to the forefront as I believe it merits further disucssion. Question at hand: can a detainment creature attack result in an orc or troll character taking a tro...

Re: Shelob's Brood detainment?

I wonder what is a sense of using "zero marshalling points" card as a trophy. Well the COE rules have an answer for that as well (from the section on Trophies): "A character’s attributes are modified based on the total number of marshalling points printed on its trophy cards (regardl...

Re: Shelob's Brood detainment?

"Detainment attack from creature is never defeated." The COE rules document seems to disagree with you. From 3.II Detainment: "A detainment creature attack is not worth marshalling points to a player that defeats it." And also from 3.IV Trophies: "Creatures being used as tro...

Re: Shelob's Brood detainment?

Thanks Konrad. Half the fun of this game is trying to figure out how the rules actually work haha. Tangentially related question: A Ringwraith player can only ever score kill MP from creatures marked with an * correct? Regardless of whether or not a non-* attack is detainment or not, they won't scor...

Re: Shelob's Brood detainment?

"Rules Erratum: Attacks keyed to Darkhavens are detainment."

If this is the case, shouldn't this rule be included in the new COE Official Game Rules under 3.II Detainment?

Shelob's Brood detainment?

Relevant section from the rules: "A Ringwraith player treats any attack keyed to a Dark-domain, Dark-hold, Shadow-hold, or Darkhaven against their companies as detainment. This rule also applies to attacks keyed by name to a region or site of the appropriate type." Would Shelob's Brood pla...

Really basic question - are your hazard permanent/long events active during your own turn

Haven't played in a few years, and I'm just going through some decks that I had built and trying to refresh on how to play again, so I apologize for the very basic question here, but I can't find a definitive answer in the comprehensive rules. Are my own hazard permanent and long events active durin...
