KRCG

[ne...@doughty-engineering.co.uk]

To who can knows,

We were playing last night, just doing some final tweaking of our
decks for Gencon (it didn.t go very well) and we came accross a couple
of rules queries:
If you have a revenant do you have to use it for intercept ?
Is this also true for a sports bike ?
Does a raptor dodge if the minion dodges (at long range) ? ie can it
avoid being killed by a lid ?
This next question invovles a scenario so bear with me :
Player A bleed player B, player B attempts to block and player A puts
+1 stealth on the action, player C then taps his KRCG, can he (player
C) force the blocking minion to use the intercept he has provided ?

Thanks,

[LSJ]

You cannot choose to ignore the intercept.
He always supplies his employer with +1 intercept.

Yes. Effects of cards in play cannot be ignored.

No.

6.4.5. Strike Effects
Dodge. A Dodge strike deals no damage, but it protects the dodging minion
and his possessions from the effects of the opposing strike. Retainers are
not protected, however.

Yes (and pays a pool to do so, of course).

But does player B *have* to block, or is that still optional even though he has
the intercept?

p.

[LSJ]

Player B is already attempting to block. If you give the blocking minion
intercept, the block will succeed (unless the acting minion increases his
stealth again).

You can't force a player to attempt to block, but if an attempt is
being made (and is succeeding) the player can't simply choose not
to block.
