Carfull of Ectoplasm

[Dreugui]

Hi,
At first I thought that Ectoplasm would reduce my hand by 1 each time I use it, but it's NOT !
each time your hand is reduce by an additional one more.
For exemple : with a size hand of 8
first => hand -1 ( size hand = 7 / ok )
second => hand -2 (size hand = 5 / should be 6)
third => hand -3 ! ( size hand = 2 / should be 5)
I don't know if it is on purpose or not.
so be carfull for now.

Edit : Ok, I'm not playing in english, so the card stay at "-1" and dosent display '-2' then '-3' for the next use !

It is on purpose.

I think you didn't understood what I was saying, i'have edited the post for a better understanding.
ectoplasm should reduce your size hand by 1 each time, but the second extoplasme reduce your hand by 2 not 1 and the third is 3.

i had no idea it increased like this. it sounds like it's done to make it a non-linear stronger penalty, which makes it definitely seem intentional.

but on the card it's not reflect as so. that why I wonder if it's intentionel or not 🤔

ohhh, okay I misunderstood. so the second card doesn't change to say "-2"? if so then i agree that seems wrong.

8 - 1 - 2 - 3 = 2
The cards do exactly what they say they do. When your second Ectoplasm says it'll reduce your hand size by two, it's looking at your CURRENT hand size, regardless of what else affected it. If you're thinking your hand size is still 8 after you already surrendered one to the first Ectoplasm, that's your mental block; the second says -2, and it gives you -2. You don't still have your cake after you eat it.

It does in fact change what it says on the card. If you're playing in a different language, it may have been someone accidentally messing it up, but in English it very much changes to -2 and -3 on subsequent Ectoplasms, and it's not a bug that it does subtracts as much as it does.

It DOES say "-2". And it then does exactly what it says it does. To be fair, someone might assume the card effect doesn't change after taking the first and not reading the tooltip on the second, but it does in fact correctly change to read "-2 hand size" (and "-3 hand size" on a third Ectoplasm).

i see, thanks for clarifying all. interesting that i've never even seen this, i use ectoplasm a decent amount as well.

If that's the case, then it's a bug, and it ought to be patched.

And actually mentioning what language the issue is in would help a lot.
