Guild Investigator's ability

[Chris Garstan]

Hello!

We are stuck a bit here if an ability "Stand Back! It's Evidence!" works when a marker drops without any Activation, for instance as a result of condition resolving at the end of the turn (model died and dropped marker, Evidence condition fell off and marker appeared)

 

Best regards!

The Investigator’s ability Stand Back It’s Evudence states “once per activation”. 

By my read, the end of turn step, where you are resolving ending Nellie’s Evidence condition, is not during an activation so would not trigger, the Investigators ability and allow you to push a model.

During the activation of each model you can push a model if they drop a marker.

for example if a master drop 2 scheme you can push only one time .

yes.....but his question was about when a marker drops outside of a models activation; the example he gave was at the end of turn when Nellie's Evidence condition would end and you would get a scheme marker. In this case it is not during a model's activation so would not trigger/set off the Investigator's ability.

For example if a model Died and drop a marker ,the ability triggers,but at the end of the turn I think like you ,that this ability can’t be used

It´s a grey area as the question is if it`s just meant to say, "everytime a marker is dropped, but never more than once per activation" or "just during any activation, and only once".

 

I always played it that it`s just during activations, they are stupidly good already, no need to try and argue they might be even better 😛

 

But warrants a clarification in a FAQ if you ask me.

I think the answer to this question is pretty clear. It's during an "activation" that the ability triggers, a model dying to a condition or Nellie dropping a marker at the end of the turn doesn't work. Some stated this above. It is 100% the way it works.

If 3 models died at the end of turn to a condition he doesn't get to push 3 times for each corpse marker placed. That would be a bit extreme.
