1st Edition Plots

[dbaker]

You are playing Connor MacLeod. You have MacLeod Bagpipes and The Prize(extra Attack) in play. You just completed the 3 part Dustruction plot with Tonigh You Sleep In Hell(next 3 turns any Upper Left, Upper Center or Upper Right attack may be a Headshot). Next turn you play UL, UR, UC, Flashing Blades(2e Rapier card) then UL. Could all these attacks be Headshots?

I 2nd that question. The rules say you can only play one Power Blow per turn, but Tonight You Sleep In Hell sure makes it sound like you can drop the proverbial can of whoop-@ss in the form of 3 headshots. The idea of some one like Kern completing that plot line is more than a little scary...

I don't think it inherently allows you to make multiple powerblows in a turn... now if you popped Scotland the Brave you could drop many headshots in one turn.

Ok. I Need to finish reviewing the rules quicker. This is what the Handbooks has to say...

Power Blows - Making Power Blows - You may make an Attack a Power Blow by making an Exertion, or by using a card or effect that allows you to make a Power Blow without making an Exertion. You may only make 1 Power Blow per turn. If an Attack is already a Power Blow, you cannot make that Attack a Power Blow again. If you make a Hidden Attack a Power Blow, you must tell your opponent that it is a Power Blow.
Example1: Duncan MacLeod plays his Master's Head Shot without playing a Special card. He cannot then make an Exertion to make that Attack a Power Blow because it is already a Power Blow.
Example2: Player A completes the Destruction Plot, which allows his next 3 Upper Attacks to be Power Blows. He makes an Upper Left Attack and an Upper Right Attack. Only 1 Attack may be a Head Shot, because Head Shots are Power Blows, and you may only make 1 Power Blow per turn.

So the answere would be no. Only one would be a Headshot.

thanks

So in the above senario, if I also have Scotland the brave in play and discard it the turn after I complete the plot, then I play all those attacks, can they all then be headshots?

[victorkruger]

Yes, there is no prohibition against making multiple headshots in a turn... the normal roadblock is the limit of one powerblow a turn.

Definitly agreed.

To make more than one power blow in a turn, you need a card that specificaly says so. like "this allows you to do more than one power blow"

There are not a lot of those card outside promotional.

I can just think about Annie Devlin's "Battle Rage" and Kern's "Rage".
