According to the Wizards' spoiler, Hidden Pathways says that "Your minions get +1 stealth when attempting non-bleeding actions directed at your prey". What sort of actions could there be that are directed at your prey, except bleeding? Or does this mean that "non-bleeding actions directed at your prey [or his or her permanents]" get +1 stealth? This phrasing would include acting nasty toward one's prey's minions, or locations, or equipment. Help me out, please. And thank you, Madman -- Posted via Talkway - http://www.talkway.com Exchange ideas on practically anything (tm).

This phrasing would include acting nasty toward one's prey's >minions, or locations, or equipment. I'm pretty sure you're right on this last point. You'll get the +1 stealth on any D, directed action, which is only blockable by your prey (includes Bum's Rushes, Arsons, and other fun things like that). As for the particular wording of "directed at your prey," I think there was a similar interpretation about Protected Resources, which prevents "other Methusaleh's" from bleeding you for more than 2. But that has obviously been interpreted as other's minions bleeding you, and so Hidden Pathway will be interpreted similarly. Halcyan 2

[ quoted text not captured ] Correct. Actions directed at cards/counters that a Methuselah controls are directed at that Methuselah. -- LSJ (vte...@wizards.com) V:TES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.
