Question

21 – ‘Lost’ Child says that ‘attached minions sch is equal to it’s printed thw’ but it also has a ‘-1 sch’ symbol in the bottom left hand corner. How does this card work? My understanding from ‘Mind Control’ and ‘Karma’ was that attachments on a minion which becomes an ally can not change their thw because both these cards so that the minions ‘printed’ sch becomes its thw but ‘lost’ child seems to suggust the printed sch/thw becomes the base thw/sch and this base value can then be altered by other effects?

Answer

“Lost” Child should have stated that it treats attached character’s “base SCH” as equal to its printed THW, because the -1 SCH is intended to be applied to the character as well. Karma and Mind Control should be treated the same, where they set the character’s “base THW” as equal to its printed SCH, but still allow for other abilities/effects to modify that THW value further.
