LSJ: Ignore the Searing Flames question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad (More info?)

At [dai], Ignore the Searing Flames says "Prevent all aggravated damage from
the opposing minion's strike." Does there have to be at least 1 point of
aggravated damage inflicted by that strike for Ignore the Searing Flames to
be playable at [dai]? I think yes, based on the Skin of Steel precedent.

Incidentally, did you notice that a number of discipline-requiring cards in
KMW have the discipline symbols sort of offset in different positions on the
lefthand bar? For example, Mighty Grapple's Potence symbol is in the next
"slot" up from that on Torn Signpost (both from the Alastor starter I
think). Earthshock's is also in the higher position, but Undead Strength is
lower. It looks like the regular/outferior cards use both of those
positions (Ignore the Searing Flames for example), and then Undue Influence
uses both of them plus one lower. I don't suppose White Wolf can get any
compensation from the printer for the errors? (I thought at first maybe it
was intentional and there were different heights for symbols on different
card-types or something, but on comparison there doesn't seem to be any such
pattern.)

yes. you cant prevent damage that isnt there (e.g. less then 1)...

as far as i can tell, there are two spots for discipline symbols.
for the cards with two discipline symbols, they use the spot where the
lower symbol's lower edge aligns with the lower edge of the art box,
and the other one sits above it. those then tend to be the two
'positions'.
cards with only one discipline symbol seem to have just been randomly
assigned one of those two positions.
i'm guessing it's a WW design error, rather than a printer error.
have more than one person working on layouts, and if they don't think
to ask of each other 'hey, what spot are you using for those cards
with only one disc. symbol?' then you get....this.
