V.A.T.S. Rulings

5 most recent
  • Mar 8, 2024 After a spell with split second resolves (or otherwise leaves the stack), players may again cast spells and activate abilities before the next object on the stack resolves.
  • Mar 8, 2024 Casting a spell with split second won’t affect spells and abilities that are already on the stack.
  • Mar 8, 2024 If the resolution of a triggered ability involves casting a spell, that spell can’t be cast if a spell with split second is on the stack.
  • Mar 8, 2024 If you choose just one target for V.A.T.S., that creature will be destroyed when V.A.T.S. resolves as long as it’s still a legal target, regardless of whether or not its toughness has changed since V.A.T.S. was cast.
  • Mar 8, 2024 In the rare case where the legal targets no longer all have equal toughness (probably because of a triggered ability or special action) when V.A.T.S. tries to resolve, it won’t resolve. None of the chosen creatures will be destroyed.
