Buying Inducements

[gandresch]

Hi,

i didn't find the rules for that in the rulebook or the forum. So here is the question:
Are the inducements are taken as a "block" of inducements or are they taken each after the other. This means, can i e.g. take a card, get a wizard by that card and then go on without hiring the wizard i planned on before and instead hire a new card or do i have to declare "i take that card deck one time, the wizard and this star" before getting anything.

Before you say, this might not be of importance. Let us imagine you get a 400k card and a Master Chief. In the case you get Doom&Gloom, there might not be any RR left to get with the Master Chief, so the 300k are useless. The other way round is even more difficult, because how many rolls do you have, if you already rolled for the chief, got 2 RR of that and now roll for D&G afterwards? Do you roll for the rerolls, that are left after the chief - because in half 2 you might get none of the RRs from the chief and then 2 RRs are left, that stayed untouched by D&G, which is kind of strange, too.

So:
1. Inducements as a block or each after the other
2. The "Master Chief-D&G" thing. What will happen?

Interesting question, and I'm not sure I've ever seen anything that says that you can't change your mind before making a purchase. In our group, you can say, "I'm buying a card from X deck", then you get the card (selected randomly) and can check it before you make your next purchase selection. So it might make sense to buy all of your random stuff first, then buy your static selections.

So, from your scenario, I would have said, "Buying a 400gp card." To self, "Got Doom and Gloom... buy a chef, or something else?" and move along.

Quoting from CRP:

Note: if a league uses both the Special Play Cards and the Inducement System on page 28, coaches should be allowed to draw any Special Play Cards they purchase as an inducement and see which card(s) they draw before purchasing any other inducements.

I just had to find the exact text for it ... but I remembered typing the rule for the book for specifically the question mentioned in this thread ... so I knew it was in print somewhere.

....... Let us imagine you get a 400k card and a Master Chief. In the case you get Doom&Gloom, there might not be any RR left to get with the Master Chief, so the 300k are useless....

The number of RR you get is not limited to the number of RR your opponent has. It is limited to the number of 4+ rolls you make each half. If you opponent has 1 RR and you roll two 4+ rolls, you recieve two RR and your opponent loses as many as are available up to two.

Just thought I would mention that.
