Title: Uruk Rogue
Post by: Mythdracon on April 12, 2010, 07:53:55 PM: With Broad-Bladed Sword, can it exert twice to make itself fierce and such? Exertions aren't technically wounds, right?

Post by: Sam, Great Elf Warrior on April 12, 2010, 08:48:47 PM: Yeah, there are basically three differences between exertions and wounds:
1. Exertions and wounds are different terms, so if a card affects exertions it doesn't affect wounds, and vice-versa.
2. You take wounds from the enemy archery total, losing skirmishes, and threats (in contrast, the only way you ever get exertions is from the game text of cards).
3. Exhausted characters (characters with one vitality) can never exert, but they can take a wound (which will kill them unless a card prevents it).

Isn't it the only card that does so?

Post by: Faelach on April 27, 2010, 07:11:00 AM: I think you're right. RBU may be the only card that deals with exhaustion so directly. A bunch of the [Uruk] cards gain strength boosts for exhausted companions, though:

Bloodthirsty Uruk, Furor, Hounding Uruk, are a few. You can't forget to mention Lurtz, Minion of the White Wizard. He's deadly.
