Leander second ability

Leander second ability

Beitragvon BWT » 17. März 2019, 20:31

Hello.
Could you lease help me... In Russian rules for Leander for his second ability in Last Hope it is told that players can not cancel the effect of a bad event if Leander opened the event card.

Is it correct or it's a typo?

Could you please provide the last sentence of a Leander's second ability card (Legend 11) in English or German?

Thank you very much.

Hello BWT,
it is correct.

The last sentence:
Wichtig: Dieses Ereignis kann nicht mit einem Schild abgewehrt werden.

Important: You can not avert this event with a shield. (?)

Thank you very much mr. Troll.

But I don't really see the reason to use this ability if you cannot block these events...

Well, you can get rid of bad dices... ;)
And if you open the event card early on day, you should have enough time to react so that you can avoid a bad effect instead of blocking it.

In my opinion there is also a story-related reason to do so.

There is a thing called the Kassandra-Effect, where a seer can see disaster in the future but is not able to avoid it due to one of two reasons: First second nobody beleives him (as happend to namegiving Kassandra who warned the Troians to not let the wooden horse in town but rather advised to burn it).
Second -- more sophisticated -- the fact the seer has seen the event happen before it happens is the thing that imprints the happening in stone rather than being a wobbly thing in the future which can be avoided or not.

I always believed this is some kind of the tragedy which lies with this specific hero
