So, my jaw recently dropped seeing that Tormented Priest is pretty much really runnable now. Didn't pay much mind to it, thought it might have been a bone tossed to the Skeleton players. Was throwing an elf deck together, and noticed that my Apprentice Mage had a new upgrade. She's not the Apprentice I remember at all. So, now I'm trying to hunt down the things that have actually been changed under DOG's watch so far, as these things intrigue me. And it would save me going through everything I own if there was a list or something I could check.
In poxbox there is a "updates" tab. Check the updates from march 9th http://olaf.maxapex.com/apex/f?p=286:6:0::NO
Yeah, ok, I can see the 'guy-ness' there. I always thought it was just a younger girl. Long hair, semi-distinctive 'lift' to the chest armor. But, I also see the Demo-lich as a female, and people call me crazy for that. Maybe I'm just crazy...
The painting is completely androgynous. And it's fair to assume that apprentice mages come in all genders.
More on-topic (but still slightly off), it's interesting to note that Devour Skeleton on Tormented Priest (and also on Bone Elemental) works not like a heal, as the description implies, but as an increase to max HP. So, if a full HP Tormented Priest eats a skeleton, he'd have 54 HP sans Boost/Banner. With Devour Skeleton on a 1 turn CD, it's easy to see how this could potentially get out of hand.
Hmmmm i'll have to test this Oh and how does shrive work? Since it's an attack can it remove righteous deflection? What can it remove exactly? I assume impervious, and nora shield, what else?
True, and what I haven't tested, is if a RD'd Shrive hit will remove the attacker's own positive effects.
