Teph Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Hi, at the first; good evening for all. I'm new on malifaux. Could you explain me which is the difference between an action that triggers another action & an action that is "composed" by other actions? I will try to explain better (my apologize, i'm not an nature english speaker, so i could try to explain as clean as i can...) A charge action is an action that let you make 2 (1) actions... An action that triggers another action is still the same action as triggers are explained... So... if i trigger another attack action, is it the same action? Thy for your time.

0 Ludvig Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Welcome! Glad you found your way here. The first action isn't fully resolved before the second action has been resolved so anything happening after it resolves needs to wait. The action from the trigger is counted as a new action in almost every other way but you do not spend ap to take it. The same is true for a charge, it generates two attacks but the attacks are their own actions. Do you have a specific situation you are wondering about?

No. It is a different action that happens during the first one.

0 Teph Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 So why is it not the same attack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Teph Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) That is not an action that generates other action like charge and others skills like that... As exposed, that is not a flurry, charge, obey, etc.... Edited December 11, 2017 by Teph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Adran Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 It is still an action that grants another action. So from a rules point of view there is no real difference between an attack caused by the Onslaught trigger (On Lady Justice for example) and an attack Caused by the charge action. From the errata, (but the original wording in the main rule book will still work the same way for this) Pg 38, “Actions Causing Actions” Call Out Box: Change the text of the first paragraph to: “Some Actions and Abilities will force or allow a model to take another Action. If an Action or Ability calls for another Action to be taken (such as Charge or “Make A New Entry”) then the additional Action or Actions do not cost any AP. The original Action is not considered resolved until the new Actions are also resolved.” The trigger that allows you an extra action is an ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A charge action is an action that let you make 2 (1) actions...
An action that triggers another action is still the same action as triggers are explained...
