So, has anyone noticed that when using Unload, that firing Prejudice as a result of firing Pride doesn't count as a power usage? I'm not talking about the Prejudice-->Pride-->Prejudice trick. The wording on Pride is that you get to use the power on Prejudice, but firing them both only decrements your "Use X powers" counter by one total. Did I miss a ruling, or is this a bug?
Bug it would seem.
Yeah, I think that would be a bug. I know that if you use Pride as your final power, it should give you an extra power beyond your total, but if you use it in the middle of a combo, it's still supposed to count I think.
I was just able to confirm it. I only had Pride and Prejudice in play and I played Unload. Activating Pride first allowed me to fire Prejudice, but I was still allowed to use Expatriette's Load to play a card.
This does seem to be a bug.
I think this is one that has been there for a while.
The sweet thing about that "bug" is that it lets you use Dark Ex-patty's "Aim" before going nuts with Unload and still use all your guns
I've submitted information to Handelabra on this through Mega Computer yesterday.
You can do that without the bug, it just means that you are limited to having Pride and then Prejudice be the final two guns in the sequence.
This doesn't sound like a bug to me. The power on Prdjudice is not being activated by Unload but rather by Pride and thus doesn't count toward your total number of powers.
We have a previous ruling that it still counts as a power use.
Using Prejudice via the text on Pride counts as a power use. For example, play Embolden on Expatriette. On her turn, use Pride, then use Prejudice as part of that. You have now used two powers, and you’re done. If you were clever and used Prejudice first, then you could use Pride and trigger Prejudice a second time.
