Daemonic Icons

Post by Stonecutter »

I was just re-reading the daemon FAQ and the daemonic icon response seems contradictory. It states the icons are treated like magic items (and hence only 1 of each type could be taken in an army vice multiples of the same) while at the same time saying the icons fall under the rules for daemonic gifts (which allow multiples of the same). Has there been any clarification on this issue (or opinions for that matter)?

You can have more than one copy of the same icon but they are affected by effects that work on magic items (like Law of Gold, Null Stone, Vaul's Unmaking etc.)

Ironically, this part is what I thought I understood - that the icons would not be affected by things that work on magic items. The FAQ states that icons are treated as magic items with the caveats listed on page 92 and those same caveats in turn state that the daemonic gifts are immune to anything that affects magic items. Why do I feel like I am caught in an infinite do loop of diametrically opposed circular logic?? :lol:
