When Mei Feng works for Arcanists, can she take the emberling as a totem?

Also, can she use her specific upgrades or is she restricted to the generic Arcanists upgrades?

(In this occurrence I'm using Mei as an example as the info is the same for all dual factions)

The answer isn't actually the same for all dual faction masters. In Mei's case the Emberling itself is dual faction as are all the Foundry upgrades.

The blurb about "new actions" in the call out is in regards to things like Onslaught or Trigger Happy which do generate completely new actions.

The "Actions Causing Actions" box on page 38 specifically gives Charge as an example so I don't see how you can possibly say the rules in that box do not apply.

Found another gem that I believe is a misprint.

Samael Hopkins and Francisco Ortega are Henchmen but they do not have the Rare 1 limit. I would think that a rare 1 limit could be a default of Henchmen in general, but I can find no such rule. Also, I believe it is a misprint because all other Henchmen specifically state Rare 1 in their Hiring Characteristics.

That being said, as it stands right now, I can hire 5 Francisco's in a crew lead by a 6th Francisco in a 40ss game.

The Valedictorian card also lacks Rare 1 even though she's a Henchman.

I know and understand that some models have more than one to choose from. My point is that it says that to make a single strike multiple models choose a single attack. It does not say that to make a single strike multiple models EACH choose a single attack. The grammar in that sentence from the rules I quoted earlier does not make sense if it means what everyone seems to think it means.

Specifically it says so under disengaging.

It never, ever uses the word "each" in the section about disengaging. If you think I'm wrong, please quote it from the book.

Here is what I believe to be the pertinent paragraph (with comments by me in red):

"To resolve a (single) disengaging strike, the enemy models (collectively) that are engaged with the moving model may choose to take a (single) free Attack Action with any one (single) Close () Attack which the disengaging model is within range of."

If you were allowed a strike with each model then why when resolving a single strike do you choose an attack from any of the enemies engaged with the moving model?

Both of them. Reason: rules state explicitly this.

OK, I'll bite. Where do the rules say this explicitly?

Don't worry, this is actually a different question. If a model is engaged with two enemies and intends to walk away from both of them do they each make a strike or only one of them? Please explain your reasoning.

Anyone else have some thoughts here one way or another?

Anyone care to chime in on this?

It needs to be general AP or AP that specifies it can be used to charge or make a tactical action. I don't think that kind of AP exists though.

Do you choose how many Arachnids you are trying to summon before or after you flip? I had assumed it was before, but when I played a game the other day I flipped the 8:tomes necessary to summon two when I had declared I was only going to summon one. I played it that I only got the one spider, but I'm not sure if I cheated myself or not. An argument in favor of not needing to declare before flipping is that the Void Wretch's The Hectic Glow action specifically says to choose something before the duel but Summon The Swarm does not. This same question would seem to apply to most the summoning actions where you make a choice of what to summon.

What happens when Santiago shoots at a Doppleganger engaged with a friendly Family member? I'll Cover You! and Which One Is Real!?! both prevent cards from being flipped to randomize the target. Best guess is no cards are flipped and nobody gets targetted and the action is wasted.

Do models killed by Sebastian's Catalyst and Induction abilities count for Reckoning or similar strategies and schemes? I'm pretty sure they don't, but a recent opponent thought otherwise.

Is there anything to stop Fears Given Form, as worded, from affecting the model it is on?

Oops, TOTAL miss read, I have to apologize.

Direct quote for folks who don't have the Upgrade card:

"(0) Eternal Journey: Place this model anywhere within its Deployment Zone, not in terrain. This Action may only be taken if this model is the first friendly model to Activate during the Turn."

As long as the model is the FIRST model to activate in the turn, note that it does not say first friendly, so it must have been the absolute first model to activate during the turn, I'd think it could be used during the reactivate action.

Sorry for the miss read.

Uh, it totally does say first friendly model. You just quoted it.

Nobody was trying to suggest getting Reactivate twice. The OP was asking about two completely different abilities: Eternal Moment and Eternal Journey.

Also, models can only benefit from Reactivate once per turn (pg 53).

And this has what to do with what, exactly?

I'm guessing that isn't really how they meant it to work, but I do agree with your interpretation of the rules.

I was under the impression that the original poster was asking if he could try to remove a condition that wasn't there even if there was another condition actually there.

Both pushes occur after damage and normally triggers go before other effects so I would say push the enemy away then push Mei to the enemy.

Is your argument really that "after damaging" and "after suffering damage" do not happen at the same time? Explain how these are two different times, please.

See the bullet point "After damaging" on page 32.

I'm not actually sure this is even allowed. If you look at the Doppelganger she specifically allows you to copy an Action from an Upgrade card where Hannah makes no mention of Upgrade cards. Of course, mentioning the Doppelganger just shifts the problem to her, since she can cause this problem with any number of discardable Upgrades.

Is she supposed to be Rare 1 like all the other Henchmen? If not, you could play a 40SS game with 5 Valedictorians (and nothing else) if you wanted to.
