Scale Loot - once it's used, it's used?


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


Hi all,

We noticed that The Worldwind Incursion has a lot of Scale loot as the reward for each scenario. Two of the four scales are pretty good but the other two are kinda blah.

Once one of the scales is taken, is that scale gone for good? Or, can someone take that same scale again even though there's not a second card for it?

A shot in the dark and assuming a scale loot can't be repeated but asking for kicks:)

Thanks,

Ben


There is only 1 copy of each, so you can't take the same one someone else has.

Unless there are multiple copies of loot cards, only 1 exists. However, if you do take it as part of your deck, you can trade it to someone else after a scenario ends and you're rebuilding your decks.


Gotcha - thanks, guys.

Now who wants to trade for this scale that let's you move? ;)


Before I read the text of this thread, the title made me think: "I wonder if the question is "if I've banished a scale, can I take it again?" Which I don't see why not.

In agreement that the scales are super weak loot, especially in an AP where starting out is a struggle. The only scale we ended up using was the "recharge to add 1 to a non-combat check" which was more useful for Adowyn than any of the other items we had at the time (stupid Trapsmith Gloves and their "Not Being Thieves Tools"), and cycled easily for something that came up frequently.

Though, I guess, the fact that you're getting loot during AP1 instead of at the end is remarkable by itself.

Yeah, forget about those scales - they're so much weaker than so many of the other ones (Wardstone Fragment, Banner of Valor, and more). I almost wish that Tarlin could have had one more item slot so that he could take more of the Iomedae-trait loot items.


The only way you get the loot again is if someone had the loot and then returned it to the box before you were rewarded again with "a scale of your choice"

Not quite. Loot of Adventure Deck Number - 2 or lower is also valid to fetch from the box when filling out missing cards.
