Question about "Naughty" negative modifier.
This caused quite the argument in a game today, so I thought I would post here for clarification.
I was "Naughty" and drew the "German Shepherds", a level 12 Santa monster. Naughty says "You get -4 against all Santa monsters." The German Shepherds says "+2 against Nice munchkins. -2 against Naughty." My contention was that this made the Shepherds effectively level 6. 12 + (-4) + (-2) = 6. I still had enough to beat them even if the math went the other way, but the wording of "You get ..." implies a bonus/good thing, where as if it said "You are ..." then it would imply a bad thing. Official ruling please? Thank you. |

Re: Question about "Naughty" negative modifier.
I guess I'm not sure what we are thinking about. It is a penalty on the player, regardless of the word "get." I couldn't count the number of times I've said, "You get a penalty," to think "get" only ever means good things in this game, let alone in the real world: People get cancer, get hemorrhoids, they get diabetes, and some people even get a rock.
