Succubus bug - can bury cards from Emerald Codex

[srdclark]

iPad 3, iOS 9.3.5.

 

Just battled a Succubus at Thassilonian Dungeon in 5.1.  Normal difficulty, party of Seoni, Harsk and Seelah.  Seoni encountered The Scribbler; the Succubus was the random spawn.

 

Seoni was making her check and had an open Emerald Codex.  She failed the check and was instructed by the card to "bury your whole hand".  The game interpreted that as forcing "Bury 6".  I was able to avoid burying my whole hand, by burying a card from the Emerald Codex instead.  Each card buried from the Codex decremented the Bury counter, which allowed me to keep the Disintegrate in my hand, and in turn allowed me to win the scenario.

 

I don't think this is the intended interaction between Succubus and Emerald Codex?

 

On a similar topic:  When The Scribbler reads "each character encounters a random monster" is that correctly interpreted as "a random monster is summoned and each character fights that same monster"?  I would have interpreted as "each character independently summons a random monster".

You're right, since in the physical game, the Codex displays the spells, and displayed cards are not in your hand. You should not have to bury the codex cards because they are not in your hand.

No.  This shouldn't be allowable.  I already added the following post to Aarik's big 1.1.6 bug list.

--

Emerald Codex: Players can discard cards from the codex to resolve damage.  Cards will remain in the character's deck after the game.

Your interpretation is correct. There haven't been a dev response to indicate if that's a bug, or if this is an intended change for the app.

It could be more like a feature. There Are other Display vs discard changes. But this one allows a quite a lot abusing options.

You guys are correct this is indeed a bug. Cards from the Emerald Codex should not count as cards in your hand.

​This is on the list of things ot get fixed, but as it really doesn't negativae effects YET, its bumped down on the list for now.

Good catch though!
