Hey guys, I was wondering when using the net or fire cage does the caster take the strength test or does it just go based off the highest strength in the unit? I have seen some battle reports where the caster alone takes the strength test and the D6 hits. Also I recently played a game where I put the hex enfeebling foe on my friend's ghoul unit that had his supped up ghoul king and he just moved his character out of the unit and said the hex only stays on the unit and not his ghoul king. Can anyone clarify this stuff?
I believe that the spells test on the highest str in the unit. However, if the ghoul was leaving the unit and the unit did not move, I am not sure how that would work. The way that the spells are written leads me to believe that the unit would take that damage, not the character leaving it.
What about if he had the strength debuff? Does he keep it on him also even if he moves out from the unit?
use the highest characteristic in the unit (BRB page 10) and the FAQ: the hex stays on the unit (the character isnt affected if he leaves, though he will have to take a test to move out since he is actually a part of the unit when he starts his move). The FAQ handles the opposite case (a spell targeting the wizard who then leaves, but the same principle applies here.
