Toxic Cloud: cast at any location (right)?

[Cheez]

Hi guys,

Just wanted to double check that Toxic Cloud can be cast for a character at another location. We have Ezren at the Turtleback Ferry location and Kyra about to fight Mammy Graul at the Woods.

Thanks in advance of the clarification (and Merry Christmas),

Ben (and lil' Abby)

A board game geek feller answered this one for me. Leaving it up for the search.

Since it's not including "at your location" text, Toxic Cloud is fair game for Ezren to cast at any other location.

Not only can Toxic Cloud help at "another" location. It helps at EVERY location. So if a barrier like Goblin Raid comes out, if Ezren plays a spell like Toxic Cloud (there are other spells with similar mechanics), every character that has to encounter the monster gets an extra 1d6 on their combat check. The cloud of toxic gas permeates every location in the scenario, not just a single one.

I would also say that since you play Toxic Cloud "when a character encounters a bane" you are playing toxic cloud when the Goblin Raid barrier is encountered, which leaves Ezren free to still play a combat spell during his personal Goblin Henchmen encounter and not be in violation of the "only one card of each type by each character on each check" rule.

Wow - nifty thought on playing it for multiple locations on something like a barrier! I never even considered that.
