Re: Phantom abilities
That's only implied by the need for an IQ contest. But without it, Phantom is nigh-worthless since it can easily be taken out by missile fire before it gets close enough to attack and Creations are cheaper.

If you play Command and Conquer (or Starcraft or whatever) against an IQ0 opponent, you can still win, despite there being an IQ-based skill contest. Having IQ0 is not the same thing as having Immunity (IQ-resisted abilities). Sure, it makes some abilities, such as Mind Control, irrelevant, but Phantom behaves more like an Ally with Resistable by IQ, not like Stigmata. |

Re: Phantom abilities
So to sum up, there is no rule about how this spell works.

Re: Phantom abilities
Just the opposite. I'm saying Phantom is worthless if it can. If it is solid to non-sentients then it will be easily destroyed before it can even attack. The advantage it has over Creations is that it is invulnerable until it gets within touching distances.

Re: Phantom abilities
Where did you get the notion of 'not having IQ'? A toaster is IQ0, so is a vegetable.

Do you call things that don't cost/give points Cost-Zero, or do you claim that they somehow do not have a price at all? |
