MaoriWeaponBludgeon (2 Hands)

Tukituki - Action: Twice each round, if you have not missed with this weapon this round, make an attack with it if possible.

Frequently carved from whalebone, the pou whenua is used to mercilessly bludgeon and opponent.

Illus.: Matthew Armstrong • Set 5P34/100

 

Tournament Promo

Pou Whenua was the tournament winner card in June of 2006, and again in December of that same year.

 

From the QCT

Take either weapon:

Cutlasses with a rival, or Pou Whenua.

If I use the ACTION ability to make an attack with either weapon, what happens if my opponent has Vlad's Armor?

Some people argue that the attack fizzles because the effect of the attack is nullified.

Others argue that the attack is already in progress and it is too late to stop and so the attack goes through as normal.

Pieptarul will not stop an attack from completing, even if that attack was created by a card ability. Reactionary card abilities that create attacks are also not stopped by this armor, unless they are like Sverd - Weapon cards that create attacks during other attacks by the same player.

Will Allt A'Bhonnaich prevent Baba Yaga's ability from working if the player who has Allt is using something like Pou Whenua, Pair o' Cutlasses, or any other cards that say you can spend actions to attack with them?

Baba Yaga prevents her opponent from attacking more than once - if the opponent would be using card abilities to make those attacks, then Baba Yaga is preventing her opponent from using those abilities. Therefore, Allt will stop Baba Yaga from preventing those abilities from being used.

•As usual, in a conflict between Allt and a card that attempts to prevent another ability, Allt wins.

If my opponent uses Pou Whenua's action ability to attack me, and I have Tomahawk out, will I get the Tomahawk reaction attack before or after my opponent makes the Pou attack?

Tomahawk's ability occurs after the action. Therefore, tomahawk will make its attack after the Pou Whenua's attack is executed.

•An action ability is considered to be used if the action was paid to create the effect, but Tomahawk's trigger clearly states that the attack occurs after the action - thus, after the effects of the action are completed.
