As is usual with an early encounter of a Henchman or Villain, I rolled (ironically in this case) Snake-Eyes on my dice and so took 5 damage against a Nightbelly Boa (I know, right?). However, the Shield of Fire Resistance couldn't be used to reduce 3 points (2 for the Reveal + 1 for discarding). I couldn't see why this might be the case. The damage wasn't Acid, Cold, Electricity or Fire because the Potion of Energy Resistance didn't work either. It can't be poison 'cos (a) Boas are constrictors and (b) the card doesn't mention Poison.

 

What's going on? (I had a similar issue with damage from a Ghoul not being reduced by Sihedron Medallion or Wand of Shielding) http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/90127-115-damage-from-ghoul-not-properly-reduced-by-items/

Screen's a little blurry, but Kyra didn't happen to use that Greatclub +3 I think I see in her hand, did she?  

Using a two-hander would explain why the shield's powers don't work.  What sort of check did she do?

Further to this, in what way is Sajan able to assist in this case? You can see his "!", but switching to his screen shows nothing of use

 

[mccrispy]

Ah. Maybe. Wouldn't like to say.

 

My confidence in the App has been somewhat shaken, so my assumption is always that it's the App throwing a loop, rather than me failing to check what's going on. I'll try to remember to check everything in future

Everything is a quite lot...

[mccrispy]

Yeah, that's the trouble

Am I misunderstanding the question, because I seem to see at least 2 blessings in his hand? (Granted, I would expect them to be highlighted...)

 

EDIT: Ah, sorry, you're in the damage prevention stage. Yeah, I think the Exclamation mark is a leftover from the "assist the check" step. To be honest, that's not even the weirdest behavior for the 'assist' Exclamation mark..

Agreed. The behaviour of the "Assist" indicator seems to have got more weird recently.
