Rules Q&A

• Q: Hi,
  I need some claryfikation
  If my enemy play The Snow Has Teeth: Reaction: After engaging: The current battlefield's province has a maximum strength equal to its base strength until the end of the battle. Negate the next effect that would move one of your Personalities from its battlefield. After the next time this battle a Terrain enters play, destroy it.
  Is there any posibility to negate the efect of base maximum strength? Can I add some from ex. Indomitable Home? Or play any reaction like Inexorable? What if I had earlier an efekt of welling spirits? Does it target my base strength or Base strength + willing spirits? And if base strength when I play in this situation Inexorable will the willing spirits efekt will be safe?
  Thx for reply
  A: The Snow Has Teeth sets a maximum on the province's strength equal to its base strength. This will override all other province strength-increasing effects, such as Willing Spirits and Indomitable Home. If your base province strength is 6 (say, Temple of Purity), nothing is getting it above that 6 number.
  Province strength-increasing effects will still allow you to raise the province back to its base if it has been lowered - for instance, the attacker players The Snow Has Teeth, then uses Qalyar's reaction to lower the province strength by 2. You may increase it back to its base strength; however, if you use an Ring of Earth to give it +3, only 2 of that will be counted.
