Q#1

The F4 Psycanti Field causes damage with 3 of its 4 functions and I'm not certain if it is card damage or Psy damage.

Since the card does not specifically say that the damage is Psy damage I think it should be played as card damage but I wanted other's opinions.

Q#2

A6 Promotion says

  • -Gives a crew card the following abilities:
  • -Adds 2 strength points.
  • -Allows the crew card to use one of its functions twice each turn or allows crew restricted to 1 function per turn to use all functions once each turn.

Can someone define 'functions' for me?

  • Does this mean a Psy can cause damage twice?
  • Does this mean a Psy can use a discipline twice?
  • If a Psy had the A3 Star Walker card played to it as well as the A6 Promotion can the Psy use the ability granted by the A3 twice?

Thanks for your input.

Q#1: Please quote the text. I don't have the card in front of me.

Q#2: Psy Damage is considered weapons fire, and happens during the weapons fire phase (similar to Dragons weapons damage).

Pretty much everything else is a function.

It depends on the discipline. Some yes, others, no. If it affects weapons fire then no.

Yes, the Promotion would work on the A3 as well. However, it would not cause 4x the damage. Doubled is doubled.

The rules for the F4 Psycanti field says:

Disciplines:Psycanti

  • 1-Psy Assault: Prevents a psy of greater strength than the psy from protecting the Psy network.
  • 4-Ion Damage: Causes one point of damage to a ship or base.
  • 6-Proton Activation:Causes 4 damage to any ship, base or terrain.
  • 8 - Damage Stream:Damage equal to the strength of the psy is caused to one opponents ship, base or unprotect psy.

Here is the second part of question #2...

If a P8 Psy with an A6 promotion on it used his his only discipline to activate the level 8 ability described in the Field above which of the following would be true? Assume that there are no other Fields in play.

  1. The Psy can use the level 8 ability twice.
  2. The Psy can use the level 8 ability once and one of the level 1/4/6 abilities once.
  3. Something else I didn't imagine.

Thanks for your help.

This would be card damage.

Help me out here guys... isn't there a restriction that prevents you from using the same field more than once? or just the ability of the field?

I'm leaning toward your second result.

field usage is like this;  a) fields must be engaged    b) each discipline strength listed on the cards may be used once per complete turn  c) if an opponent uses your field discipline it cannot be activated until one full turn from the player who used it during thier record keep phase  d) if a discipline is in effect for several turns, it cannot be used again until after the duration expires e) if the psy who used a function is killed, the discplines it used cease immediately.
