FT question

[Onslaught]

The rules are pretty clear on this one now that I've thought about it. Cards with lasting effects remain on the table. If you used Run From Slaughter to remove Banshee's 11, it is removed from hits to current battle, but not yet discarded (sitting in play like Pretty Boy or DOW or whatever). It wouldn't go to the Dead Pile until end of battle. Nobody actually observes this and would just discard the hit if you removed it, but it technically shouldn't be discarded. People should actually observe this rule though, since it has gameplay implications (a removed Super Scream should not be able to be targeted by Webhead, Malice, etc that turn).

This gives a built in clarification for Lil' Iceman, since it says to "discard" the affected cards. Since floating effects have to be on the table to be in effect, Lil' Iceman ends the effects.

Whoa   If you can, sir, post a link to this rule.

bios also made a good topic outlining non-numerical attacks becoming hits after they land, thus having the effects removed by an AL

which got support from people who then disagreed with that sentiment in this topic

not that i'm one to talk.  looking back, a couple times i've made the exact same topic multiple times...i forget so many little rules

especially the on about variants and battlesites and homebases...always mess that up

Basilisk Fang brought up an interesting point : if the mad god raises Thor or cyclops is FROG still in effect since obviously the game is still going. hmmm

Specials which alter a Character's abilities/skills that have a lasting duration are discarded when the Character is K.O.'d. Should the Character be resurrected or brought back into play later in the game, the discarded Special would not be in effect. Specials with a lasting duration that do not alter a Character (but affect the opponent or a teammate(s), etc.) remain in play after the Character playing the Special has been K.O.'d.
