[METW] Repost, CRF 4, Changes
Ichabod
I. Turn Sequence
B. Organization Phase
-=- Any company may declare as its new site a site already on the table.
That site will remain on the table at least until the end of that company's
movement/hazard phase.
D. Movement/Hazard Phase
Combat
-=- If an attack states all characters in a company face a strike, then
effects which allow a character to face more than one strike have no effect
against the attack. Similarly, effects that change the attack's number of
strikes have no effect. As an exception, effects which reduce the number of
strikes to a specific number do work.
On-guard Cards
-=- 8) A card may not be revealed that taps a character in the company.
-=- On-guard creatures are faced after a Burglaring attempt regardless of
the success of the attempt.
II. Rulings by Term
Agent
-=- Agents are *not* creatures.
-=- Agents do not face attacks when moving.
-=- Rolls made by agents during combat are done simultaneously with rolls
made by characters during combat (after step 4 of the strike sequence).
Ahunt Manifestations
-=- Attacks from Ahunt manifestations are not keyed to anything.
Allies
Also see Playing an Ally (I.E.)
Company
-=- If two companies join at a site, cards affecting one of the companies
now affect them both (Stealth, Great Road, River).
-=- Two companies moving to the same haven must join.
The Strike Sequence
This section has been moved to the combat section under movement in the
rulings by phase.
V. Tournament Rulings
Deck Construction
-=- Cards that can be played as either hazards or resources (can we say
Twilight boys and girls?) may count as either for purposes of deck
construction.

VI. Rulings By Card
Abductor
-=- All non-follower cards are discarded along with the character.
Assassin
-=- You may decide to cancel one of the attacks after facing another attack.
Bane of the Ithil-stone
-=- "Within the normal sequence of play" is meant to cover things mentioned
in the rules.
-=- Bane will not cancel Revealed to All Watchers or similar effects.
-=- If a card has multiple effects, Bane will only cancel those effects
that concern searching through decks and discard piles.
Chance of Being lost

Here is a Snake

Hunt, The
-=- The Hunt cannot be used on Nazguls who are in play as permanent-events.
Leaf Brooch
-=- The item being replaced by the Leaf Brooch being discarded must be in
play to satisfy any targetting restrictions. When it comes time to discard
that item, discard Leaf Brooch instead.
-=- If used to replace a gold ring after a successful test, the bearer of
the gold ring item gets the special ring item, not the bearer of the Leaf
Brooch.
Long Dark Reach

before the attack is faced.
More Alert than Most

Noble Hound
-=- If for any reason you are unable to assign strikes to the Hound, then
you cannot assign strikes to its master either.
-=- If an attack assigns one strike for each character, then both the Hound
and its master will recieve strikes.
Praise to Elbereth
-=- Nazgul permanent-events that are targeted by Praise to Elbereth may not
be tapped in response to its play.
Rumor of Wealth
-=- Rumor only allows you to play a Dragon, no other hazards are allowed.
Sentinels of Numenor

aprropriate companies.
Twilight
-=- Twilight (and other hazard which can be played as resouces) are only
considered to be resources while they are being played or while contructing

and may not be affected by cards affecting resources.

may take 5 resource cards." with "If Elrond is at Rivendell and your play
deck has at least 5 resource cards in it, you may take 3 resource cards."
