Rules Q&A

• Q: Ikiryo card text:
  Nonhuman Shadowlands Battle: Bow and destroy Ikiryo to have it make a ranged attack with strength equal to the Chi of Ikiryo's Personality. The ranged attack can target a Personality with Followers. Lose Honor equal to the Chi of Ikiryo's Personality. Dishonor Ikiryo's Personality.
  Now, can this ranged attack be combined with another RA, like Spearmen or Goblin Slingers, and still target a personality with a follower?
  A: No. GE rulebook, p. 63:
  "Two or more cards in the same unit can combine ranged attacks as a single Battle action, adding their strengths together. They must all be able to make a ranged attack at that time and at the intended target, ..." Jeff Alexander, "post for 16 January 2003", 17 Jan 2003
• Q: I noticed that "Goblin Slingers" from DA have the "Shadowlands" word printed as a non-bold trait.
  Is there already an erratum for them, or are they _not_ a Shadowlands card?
  A: It's still a trait. It's a Shadowlands card. Jeff Alexander, "post for 15 April 2002", 16 Apr 2002

  Greetings.
  This issue came up in the pre-release I ran today. I wsih for an official ruling.
  Goblin Slingers 1 / 0 0 / 4 / - Nonhuman * Shadowlands Lose 3 Honor. Battle: Bow for a Ranged 3 Attack. Battle: Bow for two consecutive Ranged 2 Attacks targeting cards in the same unit.
  If this card were attached to a Personality with a Ranged Attack, or a Personality who had another Follower which had a Ranged Attack, could it combine one of its consecutive Ranged Attacks with one from another card in its unit? If so, which of the two consecutives does it combine with, the first or the second. Or is that up to the player?
  A: It's up to the player. He can combine with either. Jeff Alexander, "post for 1 April 2002", 2 Apr 2002
