Why Don't You and Them Fight (Grinning Trickster Stirs Up Trouble)

Frequently Asked Questions

Effect Rules

• What's the timing of Strife removal? When Invaders have reduced Health per Strife, do they get it back before damage is dealt?
  The Strife is removed before they deal Damage (JE rules p. 7, Ravage Timing sidebar). This means that if their Health is reduced by Strife (via effects like the Panic Fear card) they get their Health restored first.

  This matters if Dahan are dealing damage simultaneously to Invaders, with powers like Words of Warning or Why Don't You and Them Fight.

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.)

Power Cards

• How do Badlands / Flame's Fury work with Veil the Night's Hunt? How about Trickster's innate "Why Don't You and Them Fight"? Or (other Power that specifies unusual conditions on what can be damaged)?
  For Veil the Night's Hunt, deal 1 bonus Damage to an Invader that's already taking Damage. (You can't use it to deal damage to more Invaders than there are Dahan in the land.) For Let's You and Them Fight, damage boosts can only apply to the Dahan and Invader taking damage from each other.

  Badlands and Flame's Fury respect limits on "What could this Power have damaged?" This may include caps on the number of Invaders being Damaged, or specification of exactly which Invader(s) are to be damaged.

  (For a few more examples of the same basic principle, you can take a look at the Horizons FAQ on boosting damage.)

Spirits and Innate Powers

• For Why Don't You And Them Fight, when do you need 3 Moons to make it Slow? The Fast phase, or the Slow phase?
  The Slow phase. The elements you had in the Fast phase are irrelevant; you check at the moment you're using the Power.

• For the Fire/Sun level of Why Don't You and Them fight, do the Dahan and Invader damage each other simultaneously? Does Defend help? Does Strife help?
  Yes, yes, and yes. As usual, if Strife is used, remove 1 Strife.
