---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Michael Miller hi, a couple of questions have come up at our DBZ tournies, 1. Does orange hualting drill still effect stages that are taken from the life deck if your at zero? 2. Can the new blue mastery prevent them? I think that the mastery can't stop them and haulting still reduces it to 3 cuz there still conciterd stages and the mastery says lifecards, our judge dosent know, so i wanted to check with you. ********* 1. If you take a physical attack that does 10 power stages because you are at zero, Haulting Drill makes the stages become three. Then you take three life cards. 2. The New Blue Mastery can prevent stages that turn into life cards. But obviously they cannot be used in conjunction with each other since the Drill is Orange. They are still life cards, and thus can be prevented. Stages to life can be confusing, but remember stages start off as stages, and then become life cards when your opponent hits zero. Funny thing is I'm not even a judge... -- matthewlow@franceslow.com "You will not be allowed to do this to anyone else!" - Gohan --
