another Rot question.

Ok, I know we've all been through this a million times, but a debate came up just an hour ago regarding rot. A bleeds. B blocks(with ivory bow). Before range nothing, B manuevers to long range. A declares Canine Horde. B declares 1R Agg with Ivory Bow, then Rotschrek. Legal or not? I mean, i'm like positive that its a) legal b) B still has his Ivory bow. But some people don't believe me and i need written updated proof. And i don't use google groups so no search for me. Sorry :D

Yes. >I mean, i'm like positive that its >a) legal >b) B still has his Ivory bow. Both right. The key to this situation is remembering that Rotschreck is played when strikes are declared and none of the strikes resolve.

Quite. 3.22 Is negative intercept/stealth possible? Can I block a 0-stealth action if I have -1 intercept? Negative values of intercept, stealth, strength, and bleed are all possible. There are a number of cards that reduce an opponent's values in one of those areas that can bring their total below zero. The most frequent time it matters is with -1 intercept. A number of cards will give an opposing minion -1 intercept (Miranda Sanova, Leon, Lucita, Call of the Hungry Dead, The Missing Voice) and this can bring their total intercept to a negative amount. A minion with a negative intercept amount cannot block an action at zero stealth. The intercept amount must equal the stealth amount for a minion to be able to block.

No, except if notified on the cardtext (for example: nightshades)
