Since i start playing Jyhad ... (A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away....) I allways seen two different ways of perform and resolve a Block. - Only one minion can attempt to block, and if that minion could not block, the action is succesful. I.e. a bleeding minion A (0 stealth)and a blocking minion B (0 intercept). With this stats, the minion B is declared as Blocker, but minion A play some stealth, and the minion B could not play intercept, so the action is succesfull. - Any number of minions could try a block. I.e. a bleeding minion A (0 stealth), a blocking minion B (0 intercept) and another blocking minion C with a raven spy (1 int.). With this stats. minion B is assignmed as blocker, but the minion A plays a +1 stealth. As none of the blocking minion could increase his intercept, the minion B blocking Fails, but as minion C is ready, C is declared as new blocker Wich one of those ways is teh correct one?? Thnaks

Remember, of course, that just because a new blocker turns up, A doesn't reset his stealth. A still has the +1 stealth he played against B, because that applies to the entire action. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D "You reinstall Dial-Up Networking.
