[LSJ] Clarification on Retainer life outside of combat.

I was reading the new rulebook, and it states in section 6.4.7. that retainers heal combat damage at the end of combat if not burned. What about outside of combat via Cryptic Mission or Shadow Twin? For instance, if I successfully Cryptic Mission a Raven Spy that was recruited at superior...will it remain at 1 life for subsequent turns until I draw another Cryptic Mission to finish the job? Since it lost a life 'outside of combat' and thus cannot replenish it? ------------------------------- Ethan Burrow - Prince of Austin et...@ddg.com http://whitestar.ddg.com/vtes/ Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

this was aptly answered by tim two threads above when i asked the same question: Retainers If damage is dealt to a retainer outside of combat, this permanently reduces the retainer's life.

If she taps to end combat, the damage is applied just after the combat ends.
