Title: Scarab bug [not a bug]
Post by: Ignion on January 01, 2011, 08:32:29 pm
Hi. I am not sure if this has been brought up before, but I noticed a bug with Scarab. Scarab's HP is "N= number of scarabs," right? So, if there are 3 Scarabs on the field, N=3, and by definition, if you kill one of them, N becomes 2, thus HP is 2. However, when you terminate Scarabs, the remaining Scarabs' HPs do not change. They should decrease if they decrease in number.

Yeah, I had a similar concern, then i went back read the card. It states that N= number of scarabs controlled at the END of your turn, which states that if one if killed HP doesn't revert until the turn has ended.

Yes, Scarabs are in fact, bugs.

Back OT: The reason this happens is because of a simple thing. The game isn't going to monitor the health of the scarabs 24/7. It checks the remaining number of scarabs at the end of each turn, then resets the HP at the appropriate number. This is not a bug, you are just inobservant.

Most of the effects like that happen at the end of the turn.

And also another point to note about scarabs' HP... that N is only the base HP. If there were buffs/debuffs done to scarabs, the resulting HP becomes the base N + HP given by buff.

For example, suppose there are three 2|3 scarabs and I decide to use blessing on one of them. It will change to 5|6. The opponent also kills one of my 2|3 scarabs. At the end of the turn, I'll have 5|5 and 2|2 scarabs.
