Thanks!

I have the app, but looking for a spreadsheet type checklist for the models to date and their hiring keywords. Catching up after a long hiatus of play and wanted to see where I have gaps. 

Wasn't sure if anyone had created one. 

Strumpet did cover the bit I ignored as you didn't indicate whether A was/was not engaged with X. That would be a factor as well.

For your follow up: A. Would generate the two blasts for 1 damage.

Weak damage never generates blasts, hence no blasts on the weak damage entries.

When a model is immune to blasts that's the damage from the blast. The initial damage in the spread, the 5 points, would be applied to model A and then the blast damage (4 moderate) to the 4 other models.

So:

Yes, it's legal to range the blast that way. HOWEVER, A would have suffered the initial 5 damage to make it work.

Forum's there, but it's closed until the Beta begins.

Correct.

(sticks a pin in this for late tonight/tomorrow).

Great table. Reminds me of Wyrd's own

Love that table so much.

Everyone's got it. A (0) can be attempted once in a standard activation. Extra (1) AP from Fast or whatnot cannot be used to perform another (0).

Bonus (0) Actions come from things like Instinctual.

A healing flip itself is not an action.

The Damage Flip is the result of the Duel.

For both you and Nathan: The Laundry books by Charles Stross.

Ok, you got me reading. Very cool.

Hmmm...maybe that'll be addressed in WC 5...maaaaybe.

The model may have the options on the sprue, but it'll perform on the table just like it states on the cards.

Dismounted McCabe's game rules have the whip and sabre regardless of what's in the model's hands. He just looks awfully cool with the net gun in-hand.

What Nix said.

This I agree with 100%.

Like I said, I understand the rule. But it was very badly implemented.

Fortunately, hindsight is 20/20. IF I could go back and reset the rules (and all the cards) all at once it would be Strike Flip, believe me.

But at this point it would take reprinting every card referencing one or the other (attack or Attack Flip) with whatever new language we used (Strike Flip) and the rulebook.

So we come on every so often and re-explain that "Attack Flip" is defined in the rules and "attacks" are defined in the rules for the new players who haven't clicked into the 'very badly implemented' game term usage.

A spell with RST: WP would be a WP duel for the target of the spell (the defender)...

No.

'attacks' are that group listed on page 1 of this thread.

an Attack Flip is a specific type of flip generated during a Strike Duel.

If it makes it easier for folks, until there is a 2.0, pretend any Attack Flip is read as Strike Flip.

The only time you will see the general group classified as 'attacks' capitalized is when it starts a sentence.

If you see "Attack" followed by "Flip" it's referencing the standard Strike duel specifically.

It may be the 'worst design flaw' ever in the game, but it's pretty standard to work through if you keep the capitalization in mind. 'attack' = group. 'Attack' + "Flip" always = during a Strike Duel.

Please discuss the Hamelin errata posted in: http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?37795-HAMELIN-ERRATA-(OR-maybe-the-world-is-ending-after-all) here.

Just in time for the holidays we've completed the long-awaited (and, yes, overdue) errata for the Hamelin suite of models.

Outside of rewriting all of the models completely this was the batch of changes we felt keeps Hamelin's core concept and play style intact but closes loopholes and balances him thereby allowing players to place him on the table without feeling dirty or being chased out of the county.

Before you ask, yes, there WILL BE a PDF of the revised stat cards online in the next couple weeks, but in the meantime this errata is legal for all games.

Rather than clutter up this post with the inevitable discussion I'm closing the thread and opening a discussion thread below.

HAMELIN

Replace text for Indiscriminant Void with: “When this model would be killed or sacrificed, sacrifice a friendly The Stolen within 3” of it instead. Heal all wounds and remove all effects on this model. This model receives -4 Ca until the end of the Encounter.

Replace Bully with Ruffian: “Ht 1, Harmless, Pitiful, and Insignificant enemy models targeting this model must win a Wp → 13 Duel or the Action fails.”

Fate is Meaningless: Change AP cost to (1)

Haunting Melody: Change Wp Duel to: Wp → 14

OBEDIENT WRETCH

HAMELIN, AVATAR OF CONTAGION

Replace text for Nihilism with: “Friendly models lose the Insignificant Characteristic while within 6” of this model.”

"And I heard him declare as he flew out of sight...'The Winged Sister is next, her Errata's in sight!"

engaged with 1: no benefit

engaged with 2: +1 Df

engaged with 3: +2 Df

engaged with 4 or more: +3 Df

What they said. Don't read into it. A Push is the distance indicated. If it's no more (or less) than a specific distance it'll be listed as such. Like Push to within 3" or Push the model back until it is 3" away from X, and so forth. A Push the model X" is that far, there's no limitation other than terrain/other models to prevent the Push from reaching that distance.

Ayup.

And it's a lump sum for Poison.

Twas the night before Malmass, when all through thehouse

Not a creature was stirring, not even a rat.

All ingresses were blocked with wood and rags,

In hopes that HAMELIN THE PLAGUED and his minions could not enter there.

The forumites were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of ERRATA-plums danced in their heads.

And Nerd and Ratty in their ‘kerchiefs, and I in my cap,

Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

Forumites sprang from their beds to see what was the matter.

Away to the RULES FORUM they flew like a flash,

Tore open the topic and threw back the sash.

There, the ERRATA on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of playability to the post below...

(...stay tuned, it's coming...)
