If Smoke Screen reduces a 4 Might unit to 1 Might (a -3 reduction), and later the opponent uses Discipline to gain 2 Might, does the unit end up at 2 Might (reduction still applies fully) or 3 Might (reduction was snapshotted)?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ruling: The Might reduction from Smoke Screen is snapshotted at the time of application. If a 4 Might unit is reduced to 1 Might (a -3 reduction), and later gains 2 Might from Discipline, the unit will end up at 3 Might total.

Sequence:
- Smoke Screen reduces 4 Might unit to 1 Might (reduction of -3 is calculated and applied)
- The reduction is clamped at -3 Might and does not adjust when the base Might changes
- Discipline adds 2 Might to the unit
- Final result: 1 + 2 = 3 Might

Nuances:
- The reduction amount is determined only at the time Smoke Screen is applied, not continuously recalculated
