In the rule 2.5 (“Transformation”), amend the third paragraph as follows:
In order to use Hidden Monstrosities, the Monster must claim them by privately informing the Priest what Hidden Monstrosities they have chosen; such notification should be by Private Message. If the Priest has received no such notification by the time the Monster has performed its first Battle Action following its Transformation, the Monster shall be considered never to have had any Hidden Monstrosities. Any Battle Actions which the Monster has performed and which they couldn’t have performed without Hidden Monstrosities shall be as if they had never happened, with the exception that the Monster shall remain unable to claim Hidden Monstrosities.
The current wording allows a Monster to use a Hidden Monstrosity without claiming it first, have this Battle Action reverted, then claim their Hidden Monstrosities before attacking again. This cannot happen if the Monster’s first Battle Action uses a Visible (or no) Monstrosity, which is unfair. My proposed changes to the rule are from the new full-stop onwards (i.e. the new last sentence) and close this loophole.
I’ve also changed the first sentence of the paragraph to make sure the “claim” wording near the end of the paragraph is not challenged, and also to remove the previous “number and type” wording, which makes little sense now that it’s clear a Monster may have only one of each Hidden Monstrosity.
so this proposal won’t save you from staying unconscious if that is your hope.
