Scorpions' attack

[Annele]

When scorpions attack, they deal poison to the opponent, right? So why, when they attack Armigio or any other gravity pulled creature, do they not poison it? It doesn't make any sense.
I suggest that whenever a scorpion attacks, whether it be player or creature, it poisons.
For the case of dune scorpion, unless the snake with neurotoxic bite (can't find the link) card idea is implemented in the game, it should do regular poison damage.

That's smart! I always kinda wondered that too but never really looked that far into it. Must've been before I joined the forum.

I agree.. It is only logical for it to happen. it is chaotic to the owner of the scorpion when he used it against gravity pulled voodoo itself.

[Manatuner]

I agree with the suggestion, since purify can also target creatures now.

[neuroleptics]

well, it sure doesn't make sense. each successful attack isn't specific. The description must be clear but gravity pull is meant to absorb damages, so the attacks can also be considered as being negated and not counted

Furthermore, Antimattering a Scorpion shouldn't still do poison damage.  It should either remove Poison counters (Purify if it takes them in to negative numbers), or deal the Poison to the person on whose side the Scorpion is.

Er, pretty sure this was suggested somewhere a while ago. As for antimatter scorpions, they should still do poison. Their attack (stabbing you with the stinger) heals you, but they still inject their venom into you.

I agree that they should poison their target, no matter what it is, and ofc disagree that antimattered scorpisons should purify us, or poison our opp, or any other idea like that. Why? Since than it wouldn't be antimatter, but Antimater/Antimagic/Antipioson. And you were forgetting one very important aspect of Antimatter/scorpions relation. Antimatter is also accepted as alternative way (besides momentum) for poisoners to avoid negative shield effects like fire shield, thorn carapace etc.

Why isn't their venom antimattered?  Why doesn't that heal you?  Isn't venom part of the Scorpion?

The attack is separate from the venom...

The attack is separate from the venom...

Which is silly, if you think about what a scorpion actually is and how it attacks.

Not silly - there are 3 classes of damage sources: magic, poison and physical. In reality it's silly, cause you need physical contact with poison - but where's the MAGIC in that?
