(LSJ) Rotschreck & Long Range

LSJ, I checked the rulings listing last night about this matter and even then there were arguments about how this works. Minion A takes an action Minion B blocks During the "Set Range" range ends up at long (through maneuvers or through "set range to X" text) Minion A nominates a strike Minion B nominates an aggravated melee strike (that will not strike Minion A) Can the controller of Minion B now effectively play Rotschreck? (or another way of putting it... Do RTR19980928 and LSJ19990217 both work at the same time?)

Howdy, [ quoted text not captured ] IANLSJ, but this has been asked and answered so many times in this forum that I can say with confidence, "Did you try searching 'Rotschreck range author:LSJ'? 'Cause if you had, you'dve seen that an actual attempt to inflict aggravated damage (on the opposing minion and not the intervening air) is required by card text. Alex

[ quoted text not captured ] Correct. With the result that the answer to the query is: "no, Rötschreck cannot be played on A".

[ quoted text not captured ] > played on A".- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - Thanks, the debate in our group was more about "Do both rulings hold?" rather than Rotschreck in particular. And yes, I tried searching this thing and got all sorts of stuff that was not to topic.

Better off quoting the rulings, or at least linking them, so as to allow those who read your post to know what you're referring to.

[ quoted text not captured ] The FAQ is also handy. http://www.thelasombra.com/vtes_faq.htm 3.5. Can Rötschreck still be played... Can Rötschreck still be played at long range while the reacting minion declares an aggravated hand strike? No. Cannot be used if the "attempt to use aggravated damage" is not applicable at the current range. The most common example is an aggravated hand strike done at long range. -- salem (replace 'hotmail' with 'gmail' to email)
