Rules Q&A
- Q: Cornering Maneuver Battle: If no Terrain is in play: Target an enemy Personality with lower base Force than each of your Personalities at the current battlefield. Search your Fate deck for a Terrain. Show it. You may take an additional Battle action to play it; if you do not, discard it.
Do you only check the base force of the enemy target or our own base force as well?
A: The only stat referenced is "Base Force." You check the Base Force for each card in question - not the Current Force. Martin Lund, "Cornering Maneuver", 16 Jan 2008
