So since he's spinning around really fast and firing his gun and the pulse makes it infinitely high... I'm guessing he's spinning fast enough that he takes off like a helicopter. Thus the infinite height.

He's even cooler than I realized.

:-D

:facepalm

Not to be funny, but pulses DO need LoS. They are just infinitely high so unless something is behind a wall AND under a roof... the pulse would be blocked.

Isn't that right?

That's right.

But Pulses in and of themselves do not target. They sometimes generate Strikes that require targets. Not in this case.

So the basically supersedes all targeting restrictions imposed by the ranged icon? It cannot be used in melee, which makes sense. I was expecting LoS to be a factor, unlike Detonate Tanks, if only due to the inclusion of the (which Detonate Tanks lacks), and it makes sense that LoS would come into play considering the fluff. Still, thanks for the ruling.

He's spinning around really fast and firing his gun.

Why do you think that a Pulse needs LoS?

[never mind, answered above as i was posting]

the Detonate Tanks doesn't need LOS...

why does this need LOS?

Read the posts.

OK, you two just differed on LoS.

Might I recommend removing the ranged icon and just saying he can't use it in melee (assuming Sketch has the right of it on LoS).

I have the right of it.

And not at this point, no.

So:

1. Santiago cannot use this in melee, due to the ranged icon?

Correct.

2. Despite the ranged icon, I assume no randomization for melee, everyone is targeted by the pulse? I'm not sure about this. What about the +1 Df for being in melee? It's not a Strike, but it is an attack, so I'm on the fence either way.

It's not a Ranged Attack in the normal notion. No Randomization as there are no "Targets".

3. Does cover come into play in a Df resist duel? Does cover only apply to opposed Strikes, or does it apply here?

No. See above.

4. The ranged icon would indicate that Santiago needs LoS, even if a model is within the pulse?

No. It's a Pulse. The Ranged Icon is so he cannot use it in Melee.

That's correct. Also to clarify, Pacify and Incite are not Spells, but Actions.

Official Wyrd run events will not score Tournament Points, Victory Points or Differential Points based upon painting.

As per the Gaining Ground Document, all Crews played in Official Wyrd run events need to be fully painted. The actual scores won't be affected.

Local events can use whatever their local group agrees upon paint wise, or whatever rules their TO sets up.

The Totem Characteristic and the Insignificant Characteristic are two different Characteristics.

Not all Totems will be Insignificant.

So to answer your question, yes it is correct.

The Effigy Dolls Minions for Malifaux will have their own stat cards when they're released.

Thanks Big Guy!

My guess is on the Nix question, Nix heals?

I have to admit, with a his name you would think I would like the rotted little dog more.

Yeah, he'd heal up as the morale tests are taken before he would be removed from play.

A and C.

What changed in the meta?

:flute:

Just to be clear, you can tie the final result, does that mean you must still flip for a starting result - and cheat down when necessary or can you jump right in and say you'll tie the result

Sorry for the necro

To be clear. It's stated above that if it is a Resist Duel (Resisting a Spell) then you must Flip for the Resist first, then you may decide to tie.

Yay! Thank you!

Do you know if this will make it into the V2 cards this round, or did this miss the boat?

There are no V2 cards for book 2 models.

The Front is correct.

It is a Melee Spell. Typeaux on the front.

The base sizes are listed in the book with their stats.

Yes.

Yep, its nice to see some changes in the right direction. Hopefully they keep their foot on the gas.

Pedal to the metal.

Live chess <3

Is it bad that I called the resolution of the "Lake Silencio" event ever since the "Let's Kill Hitler" episode?

Amazing. Wyrd actually reacted to the feedback and issued some errata! There's hope yet.

Maybe this will start a chain reaction of them errata'ing all of the other things that they need to errata too.

Wyrd does listen and we do always constantly think about things like this.

Some take a bit of discussion as well as other tasks that need performing.

Thanks for all of your patience.

can ramos hire Ashes and dust? I can't remember off the top of my head.

No.

I locked one thread of this due to mud-slinging and personal attacks.

Please tone it down or I will have to do the same here.

I like the idea of the Lawyer, but he is very expensive for a slow support model that can't really kill anything...

I'm curious.

Is a model's worth only based upon its ability to kill?
