Reserve Inherent Ability

[halcyon1234]

What's the official ruling on inherent abilities from Reserve? I know that "+2 to venture" doesn't count, but can't remember what others were nerfed. Specifically, do any of these count from Reserve:

1) "Draw 1 card when teammate is KO'd"
2) "Team is +3 to venture when teammate is KO'd"

(Not that I'm currently building a Cape Citadel deck or anything...)

I'm pretty sure the only I.A.'s that are effective from Reserve are those that specifically affect Reserve ("May play X from Reserve" or "May do X from Reserve" etc)

at least, I can't think of any others that are effective otherwise...

I'm assuming that inherent abilities that grant bonuses to attack or defense apply if the reserve character is attacking or defending from reserve.

Otherwise it's a no go on the inherent's from reserve?

it seems like those should still be "active" but I don't know of an official ruling on those... I know the Venture affecting I.A.s do not count from Reserve (including, I think, the KO Venture bonuses).

If for some reason Scarlet Witch was in reserve and was ko'd, I would think hers would apply.  If the reserve is active for some reason, I'm thinking their inherents would be too.

Inherent abilities that affect Venture require the character to be conscious and on the Front Line at the time that Venture Total is calculated.

Though, the Opponent -5 when KO'd from Scarlet Witch doesn't bother about consciousness.

This Inherent is unusual in that it allows the Venture to be modified by a K.O.'d character. It does not modify the general rule that a conscious character must be on the front line to contribute to Venture.

so it follows that the second rule (that the character must be on the Front Line) still applies to S.Witch. so, A Call To Arms would work, but Hellfire Club Attacks would not.

does Shadowcat: Age of Apocalypse's innate allow her to attack the reserve while she is in reserve? nothing major, but cool if possible.
