Abomination + Safety Dance

Enzzo · 07-14-2013, 09:25 PM

In Munchkin Apocalypse, If a player fighting the Abomination chooses to open a Seal for the +10 bonus, but someone cancels the opening of the Seal with Safety Dance:

a) Does the player still get the +10 bonus?
b) Does the player get to try to open a Seal again?

I'm not totally sure here, but I'd say that you did Open a Seal, but due to the Safety Dance, nothing actually happened when you did. It is similar to if you had played Retroactive Continuity Potion on a monster after Kicking Open a Door, for which there are rulings that say you cannot move on to Looting the Room or Looking for Trouble.

Thus, you would keep the +10 and you would not be able to use the Abomination's effect again.

Thanks for the input, Clipper. That's a good argument. I'm pretty sure you're right. :)

Safety Dance says NONE of the Seal's effects happen. That includes the +10 bonus.

So could I just open another seal for the +10 since it says it's as though the seal never opened?

This is another one that I'll have to run by Steve. For now, yes.
