Rumbling Earthquakes

Frequently Asked Questions

Definitions

• When an effect reduces the Health of a piece (or it loses a bonus to Health), and it has already taken damage equal to its new health, is it destroyed immediately?
  Yes. (Branch & Claw rulebook p. 16)

  Invaders and Dahan have Health and take Damage. As soon as they have taken as much Damage as their Health, they are destroyed, whether that comes from taking more Damage or having their Health reduced.

  Unlike in some other games, doing Damage normally doesn't reduce the Health of the Invaders; there are two separate totals.

Elements and Elemental Thresholds

• When you hit the threshold of a Major Power, is the effect in addition to the base effect?
  Yes, unless the card says "instead", threshold effects are in addition to the base effect [p. 17].

Power Cards

• How does Rumbling Earthquakes' ability to ignore Health bonuses interact with already-Damaged Invaders?
  Rumbling Earthquakes ignores Health bonuses only on pieces it damages. [Nature Incarnate, p. 21] (So, e.g., destroying a Durable town with 2 Damage still requires allocating 1 Damage to it.)

  Note that Health penalties are not ignored.
