Re: [Slope: Ch 12] New Monster - Flame Fiends. Comments are welcome.



Rick, I understand your ruling and the reason for it, but it's not what TFT says about it, so my question stands; are we talking about your rules or TFT here?  Because if it's your rules, I'm totally unqualified to comment on them and will drop out of this discussion, but if it's TFT, then I can read those rules and speak from a common base.

Hi Jeff,
  We have gone off on a tangent.  A problem with a 19 hex 
dragon is that only 7 people are needed to engage it, so 
the dragon can easily be locked in place.  I pointed out that 
with my rules, the dragon can say, “that little weeny guy 
does not engage me”, which makes them more mobile, and 
dangerous.

Warm regards, Rick

I mean that if the dragon is engaged (by say 3 people), my rules allow the dragon to say, “nope, this guy is not dangerous enough to engage me.  Prove me wrong.”

If you read the rules, you'll note that even if the Dragon is not engaged, the little guy with the rapier is.

True, but it can shove people back while turning.  (At 
the end of movement.)  That said, I allow dragons to 
say, “That little guy with the rapier does not engage me,” 
and ignore them.  At the cost of giving the little guy with 
a rapier a free attack in movement.

True, but it's very HARD to engage a dragon!

Actually, the rules don't say anything of the kind.  It says, and I quote; "A giant's facing may be changed by rotating the figure in the same three hexes. A dragon's facing may only be changed by moving the dragon; he is the wrong shape to spin in place.
"

Oh wow... I wonder where I got that idea about rotating around the head hex...
Hmm, as written, it seems rather hard for a 7-hex dragon to change facing, especially if they get engaged... they can shift but no part of them can move more than one hex.
