Shemti's text : Independent: Shemti has 1 vote (titled). While he is ready and untapped, any minion successfully performing a (D) action against you takes 1 damage (after resolving the action). Shemti is untapped. A minion plays Bum's Rush on Shemti, isn't blocked and torporizes Shemti during combat. Does that minion take 1 damage ? On one hand, the action wasn't blocked (so successful) when Shemti was still ready, on the other hand the "performing" form of the verb seems to indicate some continuity that would imply the condition is constantly checked until the effect is applied. really not sure about that, though, my recollection of english grammar or whatever is real vague. thanks for the help Stone

[ quoted text not captured ] The "takes" supports the latter ruling. So, no, the action rushing minion doesn't take the Shemti damage if Shemti isn't ready when the time comes to apply the damage.

[ quoted text not captured ] Sorry if I'm just being stupid, but Shemti affects D actions against your minions also? I and my group have been playing that a minion only take the damage when the D action affects you, the Methusaleh, not your minions (like bleeding, etc)

So Shemti's special kicks in. Same with Champion (Only usable when a monster controlled by another Methuselah is taking a (D) action against you ), it would work if the action was bleeding / burning a location controlled by the Meth controlling the Imbued with Champion / a Bum's Rush against any minion controlled by the Meth controlling the Imbued with Champion etc. Stone

Any (D) action against something you control is "against you".

[ quoted text not captured ] Right now it is clear, that Shemti has to be ready after the action's resolution to damage the acting minion. But does he have to be ready during the whole action until this moment - when my grand-preys minion sucessfully rescues my untapped Shemti from torpor, does he get the damage or not?

I can empathise with this. I really hate being dragged out of bed myself. "Bugger off, I'm sleeping" "No, Shemti, it's time to get up.."
