I looked through about 3 pages of posts (search is blocked at my work) and didn't see an answer to it.

The rules state "Components with at least one magic icon have a magic point value equal to their health." Well, the DL/DM doesn't have a regular magic icon, it's a cantrip, which is a SAI. I take it to team the point value is 0 then?

Alternatively, if you count the cantrip as a magic icon, it has either 4 points (by the rule quoted) or 1 point (counting it as a monster or artifact - it's neither though).

I'm also curious on the point value of a Bronze Medallion, I'm guessing it's 2 because it's an SAI? Although it specifies Monster or Artifact in the rules assigning a value of 2, and it's technically neither...bleh...which would default it to regular rules...which is 4 (although once again, it's a SAI which isn't covered at all, it only states magic icon or cantrip, so it could be 0).


Thanks.

Apparently you didn't keep reading that paragraph all the way to the end. Also, you need to look at the glossary entry for "Component". Under "Get to know your dice", look at the entry for 10-sided.

First of all, every die which is not a monster or artifact with any magic-generating icons has a magic value equal to it's health. The only exception is clearly stated, which is the Vampire. Monsters and artifacts are 10-sided (also stated in the Glossary and under "Get to know your dice"). So DL/DM fall under the equal to health rule. Cantrips are most definitely magic-generating icons. Down further in the text about monsters and artifacts, it notes that SAI magic-generating icons are worth 2 points. It specifically lists Cantrips.

In order to keep the size of the rules manageable, we don't point out the same things in multiple places in the text. So you need to read the entire rules to make sense of it all. Many people make the mistake of never reading the Glossary. It is critical to read that section if you want to have a deep understanding of the rules.

Yes, you should read over the entire rules booklet to get a feeling of what rules are discussed where and how everything interacts with everything else.

On page 115, the Bronze Medallion is specifically pointed out has having a magic point value of four.
