a few days ago we came upon this situation:i was Goldyx, attacking a ruin and came across a digger (fortified 3 defense) and a medusa (defense 4). i used the Expose spell (Target enemy loses all fortifications and resistances this combat. ranged attack 2) and Will focus with Swiftness for 3 + 3 ranged attack. that got me to a total of 8, more than i needed, ranged attack. it seemed perfectly legal to me, as through the use of the spell the diggers lost fortifications and could now be targeted by ranged.
however someone disagreed saying that if i treat the enemies as a group in the ranged attack phase, the share all resistances and fortifications - agreed. but then they said that my spell would only target one of the enemies, the diggers and medusa would still be fortified as it received fortification bonus when i started treating the enemies as a group.
this seeemed like total bogus to me. i agree that i was only targeting the diggers with Expose, but by this i was distroying the source of the group bonus, there was no reason for medusa to be fortified anymore..
the other person said i was an idiot so was this close to actually leaving the table. although we eventually settled down to my version, mostly because I was having the liest fame and was irrelevant in the game, that sort of ruined the night for me.
i would just like some insight on who was right, as my relation to that person will probably anyway never be the same again.
