Moving

[MR. Lurtzy]

Does the fellowship move before or after regroup special abilities?

Are you talking about knowing when the Free Peoples player decides to move on or not?  As in: deciding to move before or after using regroup actions?  If that's the question... its in this order:  Perform regroup actions (events and/or special abilities), then Shadow player reconciles, then the Free Peoples player decides to move on or not.

Sorry if I'm missing the point. lol   

*edit: woot 100!

Thanks, .

If a card says you may do something, do you have to?

[FingolfinFinwe]

I believe that wording makes it optional.  For instance, Celebring, Elven-smith says "When you play Celebring, you may play an  artifact from your deck.   You aren't required to play an artifact.  (its a bad example though because really... when would you NOT do it)

[FingolfinFinwe]

Better example:  Eowyn's Sword, Dernhelm's blade.  "When you play this possession, you may wound a minion Eowyn is skirmishing."  Maybe you don't want to wound because its an Uruk-hai bearing a Berserker Torch.  You can still play her sword on her during the Skirmish phase without using the wounding effect.  Someone can correct me if I'm off base here... but I'm 99% this is the way.

Wow, that card is insane.

FF is correct, "may" is optional, if that word is missing it tends to be compulsary if an ability or such is used.

Excellent, must be a dream is so much better now.
