Hi There

Anyoneone know if wolf claws + earthshock would enable the aggravated
damage at the long range?

Just a bit of a games mechanic that our group need to resolve.

Thanks

Andrew

No. Wolf Claws makes hand damage aggravated. Earthshock only does an
amount of damage at range equal to the striking minion's strength.

I thought that all 'strength' based strikes were considered hand strikes. I
could be wrong though. This is a good question.

You are wrong.

Definintion of hand strikes:

"Hand Strike: any non-ranged, non-weapon strike that deals damage
based on the striking minion's strength, or any minion's non-ranged
damage- dealing innate strike. [LSJ 19970224]"


Here's a nice easy flowchart to help you remember:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/msg/1f1e98354539d530

"Is X a hand strike?" flowchart, based on the clear application of the
definition (with step 1 added for completeness):

1. Is X a strike?
Y -> proceed to 2.
N -> not a hand strike. end.

2. Is X a weapon strike?
Y -> not a hand strike. end.
N -> proceed to 3.

3. Is X a ranged strike?
Y -> not a hand strike. end.
N -> proceed to 4.

4. Does X inflict damage based on the striking minion's strength?
Y -> hand strike. end.
N -> not a hand strike. end.
