This is how I initially rationalized it, but the Warlock's suggestion allows the Warrior's special ability to mitigate that of the Trapsmith to at least some small degree. Honestly, I'm not sure what to think. Hopefully this will be addressed in the official FAQ.

Interesting. I guess that makes sense -- thanks!

Had a weird situation materialize earlier tonight... The Warrior's ability says: You may roll two dice in battle and use the higher attack roll to determine your attack score. Goblin Trapsmith card says: You must roll 1 extra die for your attack roll and use the lowest result. (emphases mine) How do these cards interact? I'm assuming the Trapsmith basically cancels the Warrior's ability?

Feldrik said: It would be easy enough to impliment but I am not sure of its value. To me, that's the same thing as saying that it would be difficult to implement. One of my favorite things about playing the Morrowind computer RPG was setting up on a piece of real estate and how it tied in with the development of your character. I'm not saying it would be easy to make it work with Talisman (there would have to be more incentive than just storing your extra equipment), but that's why game designers get the big bucks, right?

Bludgeon said: Maybe you could buy a house and store objects there? Unlikely it will happen but... Best idea yet! Does anyone know if this type of thing (buying a house) has ever been done in an adventure board game? I think this is a seriously cool idea with lots of potential.
