Hi there,

Me and some friends started playing. And everybody has different oppinions.
For the little experienced players this will be already an easy question.

1. I'm a Warlock and I play Curse of Agony on my opponents hero. My opponent has his Golem Skull Helm equiped. The question is: can my opponent take the damage dealt by my Curse of Agony with his Helm?

2. The second question is this one. I play a Shadow Bolt on my opponents hero (for example). My opponent has a protector in play. Can my opponent protect this ability with his protector?

I think that damage done by abilities can't be protected by allies and also not with armor. Because it isn't combat damage. But my friend disagree with me.


3. Last question. But totaly different. We have doubts with the quests. Do I need to pay the resources for the quest totally or can I use the paid resources from a previous played card? For example I play Vesh'ral and I pay 3 resources. I have 4 resources, 3 face down and 1 quest, Chasing A-Me 01. For Vesh'ral I pay the 3 face down resources. Now I still have the quest left to use. Do I need to pay 3 totally new resources? Or can I use the 3 resources which I used to play Vesh'ral.

Again my oppinion is that I need to pay 3 new resources. But my friends disagree.

Thank you for reading this. I'm looking forward to a reply with hopefully some usefull answers.

Greetings Arrael

Lets see if I can help

Question 1-- Yes, the damage dealt by curse of agony can be prevented with Golem skull helm. Page 14 basic rulebook "Armor can be used to prevent damage that would be dealt to your hero". No where does it say it has to be combat damage.

Question 2--No he cannot use protector to take the damage from abilities. Page 22 of the rulebook section 3 Protecting in Combat. Basically protecting only works for standing in the way in Combat(and then only if they can protect and are ready..usually)

Question 3--You must use three totally unused resources. When resources are used they are exhausted. Page 19 basic rulebook covers this. Think of it as money. If you used your money to buy something, you can't use the same money to buy something else.(if you can let me know where you shop...)

Hope that helps

Thank you very much for this early reply.

Perfect!
