Rain and Mud Suppress Conflict (Downpour Drenches the World)

Frequently Asked Questions

Elements and Elemental Thresholds

• Can you use the threshold effects of Innate Powers, even if you can't use the effects above them?
  Yes, each line is evaluated independently, depending on the Elements you activate the power with.

  (You are allowed to pretend you have fewer Elements than you actually have, but need to be consistent for the whole power.)

Spirits and Innate Powers

• Does hitting both the first and second thresholds of Downpour's 'Rain and Mud Suppress Conflict' reduce Dahan counterattack damage to 0 in Downpour's lands?
  No. The total counterattack damage is reduced, not the damage per Dahan. (You can intuitively think of it as Defend that also protects the Invaders from the Dahan.)

• If Downpour Drenches the World has the elements for the first two thresholds of Rain and Mud Suppress Conflict, does it get Defend 2 per Presence?

• When are the bonuses and penalties computed for Downpour's 'Rain and Mud Suppress Conflict' innate power?
  When they're relevant. This power sets up ongoing effects tied to Downpour's Presence, not in a specific land, so if the configuration of Downpour's Presence on the island changes, so does the suppression of damage.

  Practically speaking, check Defend whenever Invaders deal damage (Ravage, usually), Dahan damage reduction when they counterattack as part of Ravage, and Invader/Dahan health reduction whenever they take Damage (or for already-Damaged pieces, when their Health is reduced).
