Spirit Blade + Abattoir


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


So, Spirit Blade has the power "If a monster has an effect that increases the difficulty of the check, ignore that effect." And Abattoir increases difficulty of all checks to defeat for banes by the number of players.

I'm pretty sure that since it's an effect on the location, that Spirit Blade doesn't let you ignore it -- but I thought it was worth asking in case I'm wrong.

The Abattoir is not a monster, as you note. That said, the Brimorak you fight at the Abattoir does have an effect on it that also increases its difficulty, so there's still plenty of good uses.


Thanks. That's what I thought, but thought I'd get a second opinion. Just in case it was easier than I thought it was. And it was a Mercenary in the Abattoir, actually, this time. (Vellexia, alas, was hiding in the Abattoir.)


Mythic Champion can ignore both effects when spending a charge.

Mythic Champions are indeed awesome.
