Banner of Averlorn Question
Banner of Averlorn Question
I'm wondering if the boosted version of spells like speed of light and pha's protection gets the +4 to cast bonus from the banner of averlorn if the unit is within that 12" bubble. I could argue this both ways so I'm really not sure. On the one hand, bubble spells don't have a specific target, so for the purposes of the banner bonus is not the target of the spell. On the opposing view that unit is a target of bubble spell even if the spell language doesn't say it's specifically targeted. I'm leaning towards the second argument but I just can't tell.

I would say yes if the unit is affected. Not sure on a rulebook quote for it though same as you.

The army book says: "cast by a friendly wizard that target a unit containing the Banner of Avelorn".
In my opinon a "bubble spell" doesn't target anything in particular and hence there should be no bonus.

Bubble targets all friendly units within range. So yes banner of Avelorn works on bubble.Darbog wrote:The army book says: "cast by a friendly wizard that target a unit containing the Banner of Avelorn".

Re: Banner of Averlorn Question
Some spells seems to say "affect all friendly units" and some say "target" instead. Would that make any difference?pk-ng wrote:Bubble targets all friendly units within range. So yes banner of Avelorn works on bubble.

If we would play magic the gathering it would indeed make a difference . Warhammer sadly doesn't have as greatly written rules.
The way I would play this rules is to ask
"does spell from lore of life / light target this unit?" if answer is yes, give bonus to cast.

Re: Banner of Averlorn Question
So seems like the answer is GW isn't specific enough with their rules so there is no good answer. It will probably come down to a game by game basis depending on what my opponent thinks, as I'd certainly rather play it as you do get the +4 bonus for bubble spells.
