Regeländerung zu "environmental damage"

Post by hardyrange »

Damage (Combat):

Damage is only considered to have come from a minion if the damage is from a strike or if an effect specifically states that the damage is dealt by the minion. Damage inflicted by damage-dealing retainers is considered to come from that retainer. Damage from other effects is considered "environmental," and has no particular source. [RTR 19970630][VR 20180603]

Name: Vengeful Spirit
Cardtype: Retainer
Clan: Harbinger of Skulls
Cost: 1 blood
Wraith with 2 life.
The employer gets +1 bleed. Vengeful Spirit inflicts 1 damage on the opposing minion each round of combat during normal strike resolution at close range.
Artist: Ginés Quiñonero
Wolf Companion has the following text:
Name: Wolf Companion
[Jyhad:U2, VTES:U, Sabbat:U, SW:PT, KMW:PG, Third:PTz2]
Cardtype: Retainer
Cost: 1 blood
Discipline: Animalism
Animal with 2 life.
[ani] When the minion with this retainer is in combat, the opposing minion takes 1 damage during strike resolution (if the range is close).
[ANI] As above, but Wolf Companion has 3 life.
Artist: Zina Saunders; Melissa Benson
Emphasis mine.

What is the source of damage on Wolf Companion? Is it Wolf Companion (inflicts) or Environmental?

I'm trying to figure out what are the niche scenarios where Environmental and retainer damage have different interactions. Neither are inflicted by the opposing minion (Disarm, Pulled Fangs), and there are as of yet no cards that would, for example, prevent damage from Environmental only.

Where does the wording matter, and why isn't Vengeful Spirit Environmental damage?

Anything not from a minion is environmental.

This has changed (implicitely through card text). The damage inflicted by Vengeful Spirit is inflicted by the retainer: this means that a vampire who is immune to damage dealt by wraiths, or retainers, would take no damage from the Vengeful Spirit. (Wolf Companion will be changed accordingly).
Damage from minions hasn't changed.
Environmental damage is now reserved to effects that have no specific source (Carrion Crows).

I've edited the General Ruling section.
