Subject:  [NetRep] Rulings Digest #27

1).- At the end-of-turn phase, Can you play Test of Fire after refilling your
hand? I say 
"NO" because the end-of-turn phase allow you to discard 1 card and refill to
your hand 
size, unless the card's text says "playable at the end-of-turn phase".

*** CRF, Rulings by Phase, End-of-Turn Phase:
* Cards may be played during the End-of-Turn phase after hand size has been
reconciled.
--------
2).- If a card's text says "bearer makes a Corruption check at the end of the
untap phase" 
and you want to play Test of Fire, the character makes the Corruption check and
you can 
NOT play Test of Fire before the Corruption check, because the untap phase
allows you to 
untap and heal characters and nothing else. Am I correct?

*** No. There is no restriction on playing cards that are otherwise legal
during the 
untap phase.
--------
3).- Hail of Darts is a SHORT-EVENT playable during the organization phase to
give +3 
instead +1 for any character tapping in support. That efect last until the end
of your 
turn? or just when a character is facing an attack? I say the event last until
the end of 
the turn, otherwise this card is useless, you do NOT face attacks during your
organization 
phase...so what is the point if the event works against a single attack?

*** The effect lasts until the end of the turn.
--------
awaiting the call:
if a company with this card wants to move, when is it discarded: when the
company declares to move (plays a sitecard face-down in the org.phase) or
when it acually moves (in the mov/haz.phase)?? guess it´s second, but would
like to have some support here!

*** You are only considered to be moving during the Movement/Hazard phase. 
The card is 
discarded when you reveal your new site during the M/H phase.
--------
stay her appetite/great bats:
is it possible to play "stay her appetite" on an ally like great bats? i
don´t sea any reason not to do so, cause it´s not causing an attack at the
ally. but there is no prowess for the ally.

*** CRF, Card Rulings and Errata, Stay Her Appetite:
* If Stay Her Appetite is played on an ally with no prowess, there is no
attack, but 
all other affects of the card apply.
--------
is it possible to have negative GI? what happenes, if due to cards as rebel
talk you need let´s say 22 GI. then muster disperses follows. is there a -2
penalty then?? (would be interesting against minionplayers!!).
i myself tend to say no, but i found out, that it is possible to set in a
negative GI in netmeccg.

*** CRF, Rulings by Term, Influence:
* Changes to general influence take place immediately, with a minimum of zero
free 
general influence.
--------
i know that also havens tap, when a resource is played there, that normally
taps a site.
but is this tapped haven also discarded, when the only company leaves? and
it isn´t possible to return there, though i have some other copies of that
haven in my sitedeck, right?!

*** Havens are never discarded. See ME:LE rulebook, Part V, Full Player Turn
Summary, 
Movement/Hazard Phase, Item 5.
--------
Where in the rules/CRF does it say you can't influence a character or ally
being controled by a RW or Wizard? I've been told on several occasions that
this was the case, but I can only find a ruling in the CRF saying you can't
influence ITEMS from Wizards/RWs...

*** See ME:BA rulebook, page 17, under Influencing an Opponent's Resources.
