Rules Q&A
- Q: Fear the Thunder: Thunder Battle: Fear 1 (Bow a target enemy Follower, or Personality without Followers, with 1 or lower Force). Thunder Interrupt, w: Give a Fear effect +2 strength. Shiba Kakei: Battle: Fear equal to 1 plus the number of actions resolved from your Kiho and Spells this battle.
This question surrounds when variables are checked.
I announce Shiba Kakei with no Spells announced yet this battle. I Interrupt with Fear the Thunder to increase it by 2. Does the Interrupt's resolution occur before or after the "How many spells you have cast" check?
Put another way, does this result in a Fear 3, or a Fear 4.
Thanks!
A: Since Interrupts resolve before the Battle action does, in this case, Kakei will produce a Fear 4. Jon Palmer, "Shiba Kakei + Fear the Thunder", 6 Jul 2014
