Sharp cestus

Can anyone please explain how this card works? According to the description "At the end of the fight, if the opposing character has less than 4 health points, you heal 4 and another opposing character suffers 4 direct damages", but I've been in quite a few fights where I played Cestus on turn 3, on turn 4 hit my opponent down to 2 or 3 health points and died with -1 or -2 without healing 4 HP. Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding the card???
Because the way I understand the description, I'm supposed to heal back to +3 or +2 considerring the fact that my opponent has less than 4HP left......

Ive been having the exact same problem. At first I thought that maybe it activated on the next turn, but thats not the case either.And [card]Skirmish[/card] is a bit confusing too.

Re : Sharp cestus

It has to either be a bug or the wrong wording. It only works for me if my opponent has -4 health. Hopefully its a bug because -4 would make it a lot less useful.

The German and French description say, that the opponent hast to be below -4 hp.
I guess the English description is just wrong.

Yes, I have checked French and English description.
The English description miss a "minus" sign before the 4.
You should read :

"At the end of the fight, if the opposing character has less than -4 health points, you heal 4 and another opposing character suffers 4 direct damage"

(Also the wrong "s" to damage.... )

Well it has to NOW for sure. Before it was a good stand alone card, now it has to be supported by [card]resistance[/card]. Oh well.

Re : Sharp cestus

seriously, it's a common card. It chains, and you can put the amount you want on a character...
just imagine a character with 2 resistance and two [card]sharp cestus[/card] on it...

I don't say it's the best card ever.
But since both cards chain and are permanent, I don't think it would be so hard to make the combo....

The first line of the card says "Permanent. One copy per character." I don't think you'll be stacking those.

Re : Sharp cestus

yeah cestus triggers when the opponent is at -4HP or lower than that...

skirmish on the otherhand takes in the lowest amount of attack bonus your character has...

but then what i dont get is that my last character standing was xenophon, who gives +1attack for all my characters, later in the game xenophon has an active slicer when i chained skirmish + push skirmish gave me a bonus eqaual to that of the slicers attack bonus... but on the earlier rounds it gives me only +1 attack bonus due to xenophons bonus.

still lost on skirmish


doh... Y U No Draw?

I think its because it takes the whole bonus total and not the individual value of each effect
