Gelderfang


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


Am I correct in thinking that Gelderfang's "Combat check 25 or be dealt 1d4+1 combat damage" is not considered to be a check to defeat, and therefore Kyra's main anti-Demon/Undead power isn't usable? Dammit Kyra.

Well if you succeed or not at that check has no influence on the fact that you defeat Gelderfang if I remember well.
This pretty much by definition doen't make that check a check to deafeat.
Cards don't do what they don't say...
IMHO

If the check is in the powers box, it is not a check to defeat. The check to defeat is only what is listed in the bubbles next to the card art under the "Check to Defeat" heading.

Even a check like "After you act, succeed at a Dexterity or Acrobatics 10 check or this card is undefeated." would not be a check to defeat, because it is not in the correct section of the card.
