Hi Folks,
now i was under the impression that combat damage, and ranged combat damage were the same thing and could be reduced by lets say the shield, but i came across this card from skinsaw murders.
powers
recharge this card to reduce combat damage dealt to you by 1.
recharge this card to reduce ranged combat damage dealt to you by 3
banish this card to reduce all damage dealt to you to 0; if you are proficient with light armours, bury this card instead.
so it says here ,,,,,,reduce ranged combat damage.......so i take it they are 2 seperate types of damage?
Combat damage is:
- combat damage
Ranged combat damage is:
- ranged damage (I think!)
- combat damage
- ranged combat damage
If you have capows that interact with one of those types then you use whichever type is most beneficial for you.
Hm, how many sources of ranged combat damage are there? The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the Scout enemy.

...in the Base set, Character set, and First Adventure set. We still have 500+ cards to do before this adventure path is done. We don't know what the designers have in store for us.

...Right, and I'm just asking how many there are right now since all I can think of is scout. Obviously more cards are coming out.
I think there is a Goblin that does it too. Not 100% sure on that one however.
So are they separate? Can I reduce ranged with a shield or chainmail?
Ranged combat damage is just a sub set of combat damage so yes.
If you prefer the items that reduce ranged combat damage are more specalised than those that reduce combat damage. And in turn items that reduce combat damage are more specalised than those that reduce all damage.
i dont know why but i still unsure.......urrrrrrgh maybe im overthinking it.........its just......if combat damage and ranged combat damage are the same and can be reduced by a shield or chainmail (or later down the line a eg eg gold shield that reduces combat damage by 3)then why have a card that specifically says reduce ranged combat?
Imagine you have two items:
1) A blue shield that reduces combat damage by 3
2) A red shield that reduces ranged combat damage by 3
The red shield is strictly worse than the blue one, since it's only useful in a sub-set of the situations. Everywhere you can use the red shield you can also use the blue shield.
If, however, you have this item:
3) A green shield that reduces combat damage by 3 OR reduces ranged combat damage by 5
The green shield is now best of all. It does the same as the blue shield in most situtations but, on the (rare) occasions where you face ranged combat damage it is even better.
Think less. Play more ;)
And why have it at all? It's thematic. It's fun. If you do manage to use it to reduce ranged combat damage then you'll laugh and joke about it around the table. Everyone's a winner.

Fine. Be unsure. Even though 2 of the people that are helping you have been answering questions about this game since it came out. Guess we have another person that needs an official FAQ answer before they believe anything anyone else says on this thread. Might as well close it and wait for Mike or Vic to come on here and answer this guy.

Dude no need to get your knickers in a twist......are you this hostile to anyone who needs help.......jeez
This 'GUY' did always assume combat damage and ranged damage were the same so an armour like the shield would reduce it.......i was just confused about this card.....thats all.
As for believing people on these threads it so happens im a great believer in H4ppy's constructed help........all is appreciated

Now this makes sense to me thanks

The short answer is "Yes", he is. You'll get used to "The Gruff Veteran" if you hang around on these forums for any length of time.

I'm not hostile to anyone who needs help. There wasn't a bit of hostility in my original answer to you. Then there are people that pretty much ignore when someone, or multiple someones, answers your question. Responding like that in my mind pretty much says, "I don't care what you say. I don't care that you spend a good part of your day trying to help people learn how to play this game. Your 'opinion' means nothing to me until I hear it directly from Mike or Vic."
Yea, when that happens, I get a little annoyed.
Dude i just needed a better example to understand. H4ppy cleared it up for me thanks
That's fine. Then ask for additional help. Don't just start off saying we are wrong.
Where in my posts did I say 'you guys are wrong?' I clearly said I was still 'unsure' anyway drop it now. The problems been resolved......atleast for myself
Well I for one am thankful for all the help you guys (TClifford, H4ppy) are giving to these posts. Really like playing the game then reading all the post when I'm at work. Also enjoy the occasional disagreement.
Thanks, @raven614 - it's nice to get some positive feedback once in a while :)
