Rules Q&A
- Q: third, Zin'tch reads: Reaction: When the Battle Action Segment begins, if all Personalities and Followers in this army are Ratlings, Zin'tch gains the Tactician trait until the turn ends.
If Zin'tch is in a battle at province 1, and I resolve province 2's battle first and all cards in Zin'tch's army at province 1 are Ratling, can I use Zin'tch's reaction at province 2, even if I'm not there?
A: No. There is no single Battle Action Segment for Zin'tch to react to, so I'm going to make an intent based ruling that his wording isn't broad enough to apply to every Battle action segment, just the one that he's in. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for July 22nd, 2003", 22 Jul 2003 - Q: To which tribe does Zin'tch, the rememberer, belong?
A: Shawn Carman, Story Team guy, sends me this answer:
] To the best of my ] knowledge, Zin'tch is a member of the Tattered Ear tribe. I can't find ] anything to indicate otherwise in any book or card, so we'll go with that ] answer for the time being. Jeff Alexander, "post for 3 June 2002", 4 Jun 2002
