Hello fellow players! I’ve been asked by Plot to clarify two effects likely to be seen by players this event. These effects are also likely to be clarified during the opening ceremonies, so if you are busy packing/running out the door, feel free to skip reading this, but please pay close attention at opening ceremonies to avoid confusion.
The first effect is a new LCO carrier that will be used in the Alliance Denver Chapter.
Order: Order belongs to the effect group of Eldritch Force. One may see the order effect being used similarly to Flame or Ice, with Order elementals throwing packets like “10 Elemental Order”, or swinging “10 Order” with their claws. The Order carrier acts like Flame, Ice, Stone, or Lightning, in that it does normal damage to everything unless stated otherwise on your character sheet.
Examples: An Order Elemental throws a packet of “10 Elemental Order” at you. You may block it with an Elemental Shield, a Dodge, or a Cloak/Bane Eldritch Force.
An Order Elemental hits you with their claws for “10 Order”. You may block it regularly with your weapons, or shield. It may be stopped by Magic Armor, Evade, Dodge, Parry, or Riposte. If it is not blocked, it does damage to you as normal, with no added effects.
This second carrier is one that’s been used before in Alliance Denver, but is being changed slightly to more clearly fit the precedents set in the rulebook.
Life: Life belongs to the effect group of Gift. One may see the Life effect being used as a carrier, or as an elemental effect, such as “10 Elemental Life”. The Life carrier, as it does not affect living creatures, does no damage to you, and the correct call to being struck for life would be “No Effect”.
Examples: A Life Elemental throws a packet of “10 Elemental Life” at you. You may block it with an Elemental shield, Dodge, or Cloak/Bane Gift, but if unblocked it does normal damage to your armor. If you have no armor, it does no damage unless stated otherwise on your character sheet, and the correct call would be “No Effect”.
A Life Elemental hits you with their claws for “10 Life”. You may block it normally, but if it hits you, it does normal damage to your armor. If your armor is broken and it hits your body, it does no damage and the correct call would be “No Effect”.
A Life Elemental sees that you are dead on the ground, and does not like that. It would like to bring you back to life, so it attempts to hit you with its claws for “10 Life”. Since characters may never benefit from a carrier, the correct response to this would be “No Effect”. A character cannot be lifed by a creature swinging the life carrier.
A Life Elemental sees that you are dead on the ground, and does not like that. It would like to bring you back to life, so it attempts to hit you with a packet for “10 Elemental Life”. Since this is not a weapon attack, but is instead a magical effect, you are returned back to life at 1 body.
