Rules Q&A
- Q: Combining fear effects: Zlkyt's Family and Oni Familiar have better than average fear effects. If I combine these with another regular fear effect, what is happening? Eg: I combine Oni Familiar fear 2 with fear 1 from Staff of the Raja's Court. Then can it destroy a 3F follower? And if I combine Fear 4 from Zlkyt with same Fear 1 from staff, can it bow a 5F personality with followers attached? OK I know staff is a bad example because it also can give -1F as an engage but please ignore this for the purposes of this question.
A: The 20F Rules are actually extremely unclear on the matter, but I have Ruled that combined RAs, MAs, and FEs with unusual substituted or additional effects have all effects carried over.
I will also reiterate for clarity that "effects" does not include special targeting allowances or restrictions. Each combined attack must be able to legally target the original target if taken separately, or they may not be combined. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 3 Jul 2024
