Josh picked up an Acid Barrel and used it to attack the square that Hello Kitty was standing in, but an Acid Barrel can only be used “to Attack any Empty Arena Square which is adjacent to the Attacker”. A Square is only Empty if it “contains no Entities”.
But it can only be used “to Attack any Empty Arena Square”. Even if the ruleset would cover the eventuality, there is no way you can use an Acid Barrel to create an Acid Pool in an occupied Square.
I also was thinking of putting a barrel on top of a Gladiator. But had the same thoughts about it, as the square containing the Gladiator is not empty.
Josh: Your quoted sentence refers to the creation of permanent acid pools in the corners. It still retains this meaning pending the possibility of other acid pools being created, but these pools cannot be created using acid barrels because of the Empty Square qualification cited above.
[Anduril] It also refers to Acid Pools created by the “Green ^” Trap.
Yes, the “Green ^” Trap behaves in different way to the Acid Barrel Weapon. But both rules are completely explicit.
Oh no, silly me. The reason there is no inconsistency is because “If an Acid Pool would be created in a Square containing a Gladiator, the Gladiator dies before the Pool is created.†is there. Sorry.
I meant in the trap rule, because of the overlap of entities, but this rule removes this inconsistency.
