(1) A Recitation of the Essential Formulae (Ca 5 / TN: 13): This model gains the following Condition until the start of the next Turn: "5,300 Formulae: Enemy models within 4 count as having the Peon Characteristic in addition to any other Station Characteristic they have."
A number of Strategies and Schemes will score or not based on whether a certain model is a "non-Peon model" or not. Now that a model can have multiple Stations, that definition is no longer as clear-cut as it might have been. Is a non-Peon model:
(a) Any model which does not have the Peon Characteristic (regardless of what other Station Characteristics they might have).
(b) Any model which does not only have the Peon Characteristic.
So if an Enforcer stands within Sun Quiang's 5,300 Formulae aura, it is both an Enforcer and a Peon. Under definition (a), that model:
Could not take the Interact action to Exhaust an enemy in the Exhaust Their Forces scheme.
Could not be the target of the Interact action to Exhaust an enemy in the Exhaust Their Forces scheme.
Would not drop a Head marker if killed during the Headhunter strategy.
Would not count for purposes of holding a Stash marker in the Guard the Stash strategy.
Etc.
Under definition (b), none of those statements would be true.
I feel like (a) is the correct definition; "non-Peon model" means "model that is not a Peon," and Sun Quiang's aura makes that model a Peon (even though it's also a Minion/Enforcer/etc.).
Related question: How many Bounty Points is an Enforcer/Peon worth in Collect the Bounty? 0 (Peon) or 2 (Enforcer)? (Or, to future-proof the question, 2+0 for both?)
I feel like 2 would be the correct answer, but the reasoning behind that one is harder to articulate other than just saying it "seems right."
