This thread is for us to come up with explanations - be they silly or serious - for some of the oddest card interactions we've seen, or imagined, in SotM.
For example, just last night, my Fanatic used Final Dive on Akash'Bhuta's Carapace, and chose Bhuta herself as the target. That was odd enough that play stopped for a few minutes as people wondered what had just happened, before it was agreed that Fanatic had broken off a shard of rock, flown up into the air, then thrown that shard down to stab into the space it had once armored. Cool times.
Whenever we fight against La Capitan, we justify her vague-in-flavor flip side as her doing whatever heist she came to do while her crew stall the heroes - she doesn't take damage because she's dodging, hiding, using cover, and so on. And then came the day that she used it to tank through two Oblivions, a hail storm, and board-clearing Ra fire. How on Earth could anyone dodge that? "Well, I didn't the first time. But this time, I know where to stand."
The example that comes up all the time, of course, is Grappling Hook - it's reached the point where "it's okay, I have a grappling hook" has become a running joke in our discussions of SotM. Here is a grappling hook which can:
* Incapacitate a raging tyrannosaur.
* Defeat the Lord of the Underworld.
* Disrupt the command structure of an alien army.
* Make Iron Legacy no longer invincible, or no longer scary.
* Quell a prison riot.
* Stop a volcanic eruption.
* Fix, while in the field, any and all communications problems being perpetuated from back at base.
* Safely navigate the time stream (especially between the present and 1883).
* Cure diseases, heart conditions, and bad luck.
* Prevent the apocalypse.
Granted, it can't get you away from Citizen Assault's ground-based shockwave attack, but still! Mere speculation about how your flash flood washed away obsidian field cannot compare.
