Talk:Target

Reservations
I just created this, after a good suggestion from Elekim, but I'm already suspecting I went a little overboard. A lot of the targeting details might be better located on the pages for the types of actions being played (summon, Hero Power, etc), which already describe - or should describe - the process of playing those actions. There are a number of "rules" that are really just notes for one or a couple cards: Sabotage as far as I know is the only spell with a "target" on the board that can be cast without one, so it's probably fine to leave that as a card note, or a minor aside on the Spell page. There is Thoughtsteal, Mind Vision, etc, but then you get into "are cards not in play really targets", for that matter are random selections of any kind even targets, and so on. I made the executive decision that random characters are targets while non-characters aren't, but this is pretty arbitrary. So, I used this page as a place to gather the info but ultimately it should be moved the pages for the specific actions, and this should be mostly a portal to direct you to other places, in my opinion.

I don't think we need a list of targeted effects - I don't foresee high demand for that search query, there are very few "targeting related effects" (Steamwheedle Sniper is the only one I can think of) and the term is a little too vague anyway.

Speaking of specific actions, we still don't have a page for attacking/combat. Maybe that's my next project :) &#32;- jerodast (talk) 19:15, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
