Oath PBF companion thread, for rules questions and the like

I think I am keeping my last secret, so I will travel using two supply instead.

Second Wind I can only use if I am victorious, and I don’t see what else I need to attack if I win…

[Benkyo]

OK, so you are not using second wind.

(my point was that it must be paid for now, which new players seem to miss, not that it is necessarily a good idea. That said, you could, for example, do an easy campaign for, say, Sticky Fire or the Ring of Devotion using Second Wind, then follow up with your real campaign against the banner. Or just use Second Wind to move for free.)

[Benkyo]

@Whistle_Pig needs to declare in main thread if using Mercenaries.

[Whistle_Pig]

Am I right in thinking that @COMaestro will win on his next turn (I.e. directly after my turn) and that I would not be able to use the Lancers at the Salt Flats in a battle, even if I were at that site, because I don’t rule it?

[Benkyo]

Correct on both counts.

[COMaestro]

I thought yashima played right before me.

[yashima]

And obviously I will do something against that winning thing of yours. I have a plan!

[COMaestro]

[Whistle_Pig]

@yashima I hope it’s a good plan, because I don’t think I can do much to assist!

[Whistle_Pig]

I assume that using Master of Disguise means that I would need two secrets to trade for favour?

[Benkyo]

Yes, it’s a trade modifier that costs a secret to activate. You can of course choose not to use it.

By the way, I don’t think you have to publicly annouce your discard order in a truthful harp search.

[Benkyo]

@Whistle_Pig please continue with your turn.

Use Spirit Snare to gain a favour from the Discord bank Spend two supply to travel to the salt flats Spend a favour for a rest at the Wayside Inn to gain two supply. Campaign against @COMaestro at the salt flats, targeting the site and the banner, for an ill-advised last stand. Using all two of my brave warbands.

This literally has a 0% chance of success. You are spending 4 supply and losing a warband for nothing. Are you sure that’s what you want to do?

[Whistle_Pig]

I’ve edited it to be marginally less insane.

[Benkyo]

Sorry, but that’s just as pointless - zero chance of success.

The maximum you can get is 3, versus a minimum defence of 5.

[Whistle_Pig]

Let’s say that I’m doing it for dramatic effect

[Benkyo]

Might as well go all in then. Losing a campaign by 3 is not as dramatic as by… a lot more.

[Whistle_Pig]

Sounds good to me

Okay, let’s get started. If I read this right, I have 5 supply, 2 secrets and 0 favor at the start of my turn. So I use my 2 Secrets (burning one) to gain 4 Favor from my Alchemists as a minor action. “This has cost me so many secrets.” The Alchemists just shrug, take my secret throw it in their cauldron and hand me 2 favor from the Hearth and Discord banks each. I immediately spend 2 supply and 2 favor and use my Ring of Devotion to muster 4 troops each at the Keep and Second Wind for a tot…

As comaestro points out, he rules the site and the lancers - you cannot use them.

You must also target the site.

[COMaestro]

Question? How is the defense dice pool totalled up? In this instance, with targeting both the banner and the site? If I am reading the cards right (which is questionable, as the picture is small on my phone), the banner gets 1 die per secret on it (6), and the site gets one per warband (3), so wouldn’t I have 9 defense dice?
