So, Twisting Fates, p 42: Does that mean that Candy, the Petulant Youth is a Master then? She does not replace a master... how can she then be an avatar? I would assume that since she does not replace a Master, she does not gain Use Soulstone. What I'm trying to say here is that Candy's Avatar does not quite follow the rules for Avatars... I do not believe she becomes a Master, and I do not believe she gains Use Soulstone.

I'd say no. She's not a master or a henchman, and unless she's got 'use soulstones' on her card she should not be able to use them. I haven't seen anywhere that Avatar implies use soulstones.

Ausplosions is correct. You will be affected by Fast the entire activation (and thus have 3 AP). Gaining fast again does nothing, and Reckless will only make you suffer the wound.

I think you resolve each duel completely before moving to the next. And as activating player you may choose in which order they are hit. That way you can choose to hit the slow to die model last. And you'll know what to do with the slow to die action. That's what I think anyways...

Oops! Missed that one. Sorry =)

Yan Lo's Hunpo Assault trigger states that he makes a Khakkhara Strike and a Spirit Barrage Strike on each enemy within 2". Seems a bit strange that he can use the Spirit Barrage (which is ranged) against enemies within his melee range. The trigger does not explicitly state that he can do this, but I assume he can. aHoffman's Do Not Go Softly states that he is able to make ranged strikes while engaged in melee. Why is Yan Lo not explicitly given Gunfighter during this attack?

Seems like it should be possible...

According to the warstore Vanessa will be released in March...

Slow to die happens before the knockback. If the model dies the trigger does nothing. Meaning any counter dropped (corpse in this case) would not be knocked back.

The mindless zombies has a rule on their card, Mindless, that states that each player takes turns activating the mindless zombies at the end of each turn. The player activating the MZ flips cards for attacks. (When out of range of a Nicodem) As for defense, I would assume that the player not making the attack flips defense for the MZ. This is how I've played it, at least. I don't know if there is a rule for it though...

So this would put a stop to it then I think. Even though it wouldn't kill him, he can't reduce himself to 0 Wd using Reckless. Thanks for the input guys!

Let's say you have a Nurse and McTavish in the same crew. McTavish has been reduced to 1 Wd. If the nurse uses Massive dose, and gives him painkillers (Target cannot be killed. Sacrifice target at the end of its next activation), can McT then use Reckless? Does the effect mean that he cannot lose the last wound, or does it mean that he doesn't die from it? If he can use Reckless, and is reduced to 0 wounds, what happens if he uses Shrug Off on the painkillers? He won't be sacrificed, but does he die?

But the wording is different for Molly's Whispered Secret. 'Gain one of target's (1) Spells. This spell lasts until this model casts the nominated Spell, or casts this spell again.' To my mind, that clearly states a duration: until either spell is cast again. Vanessas AA only specifies an additional condition that will cause the spell to end.

I disagree with decker. It says that the effect vanishes once used, not lasts until used. At least to me that would mean that the effect ends at end of turn...

Not really, because then the model is moved into the effect. Does it count as entering if a model with terrifying moves closer to an enemy model? (Or when a Bayou Gremlin gains Terrifying?) I think not....

Yeah, if you flip the Black Joker on the damage flip, no triggers that requires you to do damage (or states 'after damaging') will trigger.

I think that the spell fails because she can't be placed near a friendly construct or rail worker. You resolve a spell line by line, and if one line can't be resolved successfully, the spell immediately fails.

If it says 'may', you do not have to. However I think Lure is not phrased that way. At least not on the Rotten Belles in the downloadable pdf...

If it is blocking, and not climbable. We usually play our low fences and railings as climbable...

I've always assumed that no disengaging strikes are made when he has activated Augmented Jump. So I don't think a model with Wicked gets to make the disengaging strike just for the damage...

@Adran: Yes, that's how it works when Fzzzap! is not triggered. The trigger says: "The two lowest value Cards suffer the damage. Models tied for the two lowest values all suffer the damage." I was just confused by the "two lowest value Cards" sentence. Does it mean lowest values or lowest cards?

So, after a model has been damaged by Lightning Jump, a card is flipped for each model within 5" of the target, and the lowest card gets hit, and all tied with the lowest card. Seems pretty straight forward to me... However when Fzzzap! is triggered there is one special case that gets me a little confused. If I flip (four targets) 2, 2, 3 and 5, how many will be hit? Alt 1: 3 models (2 and 3 are the lowest cards, with a tie for 2) Alt 2: 2 models (2 and 2 are the lowest cards) So, is it the two lowest cards, or the two lowest values?

Or when trying to deny victory points for my opponent. (Slaughter, grudge, kill protegée, etc)

My bad!

Found another Vanessa error. When Vanessa hires Joss (who is a M&SU Member), Renegade Steamfitter Johan should be 1ss cheaper. Dues Paid: Reduce this model’s Soulstone cost by 1 when hired into Crews with M&SU Members. Or does there have to be more than one M&SU Member in the crew for Dues Paid to kick in? In that case he should cost 7ss for Ramos until he hires another M&SU Member...
