Hello to the mind trust at WizKids!
I have a question about how Lab Test: Basic Action Card works.
Lab Test: Continuous: You may send this die to your Used Pile to reroll one of the character dice in your Reserve Pool.
From the X-Men Forever Rule Book:
“…there are three different types of dice: Action, Character, and Sidekick. All dice have some sides that produce energy…”
“Energy is the main ‘resource’ that most things in the game use. All the dice in the game, depending on which face they roll, will give you a Character, an Action, or provide Energy.”
“Dice are considered to either be ‘rolled dice’ or ‘unrolled dice’, depending on their location. Dice in the Reserve Pool or the Field Zone (including the Attack Zone) are considered to be whatever their face is. If you have a Sidekick die in the Reserve Pool showing energy, then it’s an energy die. If you have a Sidekick showing the character face in the Field Zone, then it’s a Sidekick Character Die.”
It seems clear from the above quoted rules text that a Sidekick is not a Character Die unless on it’s Character side in the Field Zone, and therefore, it would not be a valid target for Lab Test. However, it is less clear if a Character Die on an energy face is still considered a Character Die, or if it is an energy die.
Could you please clarify this?
Thank you for your time,
