So the witches fire that’s spread on the ground has the rules on that been clarified and changed to only at the end of the round it activates? And large minis only take one point of damage we have a witch in our party and woundering if I need to implement said rule

I personally would apply the fire tile rule changes along with the changes Witch ability cards, but we don’t have those yet. But Tonzin can weigh in.

That’s what I’m doing. Using 1st ed rules until the complete 2nd ed rules release.

How do Arcs work if an enemy has no facing?

Uh. I dunno? Is this about encounter 3?

yes

Ranger companion says "if attacking rear in the enemy's rear arc"

so we arent sure if the enemy has "arcs" or not since it has no facing

Specifically for chapter 3: || If I remember correctly, the encounter board should say that any attack on the tail piece counts as an attack within the enemy’s rear arc, regardless of where you are standing. Likewise, the head is paired with the front arc and the body with flanks.||

It doesnt mention arcs

it just says it counts as attacking the front/flank/rear

I see. Hmm. Let me pull that out and check.

I see on this BGG thread that you can treat any attack ||on the tail as an attack on both the rear of the monster and in the rear arc of the monster||. I’m not sure where they got that clarification from, but it seems like a reasonable way to play. https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2955775/quick-aidq-chapter-3

I would agree with this. If you are not using the Witch in your party, then feel free to apply the new fire rules. If you do have the Witch in your party then I would encourage you to wait so you can benefit from some of the other things that are changing about her to compensate for this.

Due to the unique nature of that Chapter's fight, this is how it should be handled. ||The tail will serve as the rear arc and rear for the sake of any cards or abilities. Any position around them would be fine to trigger the effects on the cards. This is also true for the body (flank) and head (front).||

Does an enemy need to be adjacent to its target to Consume it?

According to the BGG thread, yes.

Yes I would agree, as it feels this change does nerf her when you do a fire witch build. I know the fun I had with fire wall would be much less effective with this rule in place!

Well, it only nerfs her if you use her fire build to use the fire tiles to do the damage rather than her abilities. The new adjustments flip this around so that her damage will primarily be coming from her abilities, not some clever tile placement

Of course. Aaah! Interesting.

Do you know, has it been shared, if new abilities will be shared before print is done…?

I believe Jamie said he will make that stuff available online once the adjustments are finished. I don't know if he just meant the Chapter changes or if that included the character changes as well.

Thanks!

For now I’ll finish my playthrough on current ruleset, and enjoy a second one with updated rules and exploring a different story path then.

I humbly confess

We messed up the refresh phase all along, we battleflowed all the cards not just getting back the position 0 ones into our hands

This caused a few things: we were able to use abilities slightly more often. Also decreased the value and viability of battleflow tokens, thus we usually got redraws, making our hits more accurate

Still astonishing how well this game is designed rules wise

Oh my that’s also a big one. First few chapters I was also using battleflow tokens to battleflow ALL cards, not one position. And first few times I messed up reaction when breaking a die which caused an escalation (I forgot to do escalation first).

If I use an effect to ignore tiles(waxed leather doublet) do i remove the tiles or do they stay?
