I just began to use potence and was reading "Immortal Grapple". So what is a hand strike? Is "Undead strenght" considered a hand strike? How about burning wrath? also..the dominate card "Thoughts Betrayed" At superior level, the opponent cannot play cards until end of combat...which is what? a round of comabt or the whole duration? Thanks in advance for answering my silly questions. -- <x-rich> ************************************************************************************************ <center>Caught between that world and this, I'd trade my soul for a Bond's girl kiss.

Hand Strike - any non-ranged, non-weapon strike that deals damage based on the striking minion's hand damage. Also, any minion's non-ranged damage-dealing innate strike. > Is "Undead strength" considered a hand strike? > How about burning wrath? Yes and yes. > also..the dominate card "Thoughts Betrayed" > At superior level, the opponent cannot play cards until end of > combat...which is what? > a round of comabt or the whole duration? Until the end of combat. For the whole duration of combat. -- L. Scott Johnson (vte...@regency.wizards.com) Official VtES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast. (*) - Subject to review by Rules Team

To be complete: Undead Strength is a hand strike if you're executing the first form of the strike: "use your hand at +1/+2 damage". If you use the second form ("use your melee weapon at +1/+2 damage"), then the strike is not a hand strike. [ quoted text not captured ]
