Add the following to “Engaging in a duel”

If the input for a spell refers to a numerical position in the Wizard ring, Wizards may instead reference the name of a Wizard (or a nickname for the Wizard, as long as it is clear which Wizard they are referring to) and if they do the Battle Master may assume they are targeting the numerical position held by that Wizard in the wizard ring at the start of the duel

 

A lot of people keep trying to target Wizards by name. Which only actually works for snipe. I have to keep being like “you need to target numerical positions”. This removes some of the process. Also allows people to mention stuff like “Raven” or “Lendun” and have it still work.

This would prevent Spells that change a Wizard’s position in the Ring from making a difference in terms of whether or not a Spell targeting that position actually changes targets. We don’t have such Spells yet, but I’ve been contemplating one.

I think if you just make it “held by that Wizard in the wizard ring at the time the spell was selected” that will address the issue. Or if we want it to work the other way around, where targeting a Wizard should follow wherever the Wizard goes in the Ring, it could be “held by that Wizard in the wizard ring at the time the spell was cast”, but that would make position-swapping Spells a bit less attractive.

I thought that was clear from the current wording. The intent is that if you tell me this round that you’re targeting JonathanDark, I treat that as “I want to target position 1”

If someone else casts a spell that moves JonathanDark to a different position. You still target position 1.

hopefully the new wording helps a bit
