Here you go: http://wyrd-games.net/community/files/file/21-malifaux-2e-faq-errata/

 

Included are a few new erratas, as well as a few changed to wave 2 cards.

 

Sorry for the delay, had lots to do to get the book to Gen Con this year.

 

Discuss!

Well, leaving aside the wonkiness of interactions, it's not like with old decaying aura this didn't work anyway already, and god knows last model I'd give that upgrade is Sebastian...

[DocSchlock]

Induction: Enemy models within  6 that suffer damage from the Poison Condition suffer an additional 2 damage from the Poison Condition.

That clears it up. The damage is dealt by the Poison Condition itself, not Induction. Induction just makes Poison deal more damage -- it doesn't cause any damage itself.

I know Poison can't be reduced at all. I don't have my rulebook with me -- does it really say it can't be prevented too?

FAQ mentions it.

[DocSchlock]

 Can a model spend a Soulstone to prevent damage dealt by the Poison Condition?
A: Yes.

Source: Errata

Edit: So you can damage prevent a Decaying Aura Induction to your heart's content.

[Fetid Strumpet]

Doesn't that contradict this:

 

 

Q: When a model is suffering damage from Poison and it is within range of Sebastian’s Induction 

Ability, increasing the Poison damage being dealt, can the damage be reduced? 

A: No. Damage dealt by the Poison Condition may not be reduced.

REduced is not prevention

[DocSchlock]

Reduction is not prevention. The only thing [EDIT: it may not be the only thing, but it's the only thing I can think of at the moment] that damage prevents is Soulstone Damage Prevention. Damage Reduction is Armor, Resilient, Bulletproof, some defensive triggers, etc.

Edit: Poison can at no point be reduced, but it can be prevented.

Edit2: Hard to Kill and Hard To Wound are neither reduction nor prevention. They're on their own.

Edit3 from the Errata:

Q: Can a model use a Soulstone to prevent damage which may not be reduced?
A: Yes. Damage prevention is different than damage reduction.

[Thaarup]

Reduction is not prevention. The only thing that damage prevents is Soulstone Damage Prevention. Damage Reduction is Armor, Resilient, Bulletproof, some defensive triggers, etc.

[The Godlyness]

Reduction is not prevention. The only thing [EDIT: it may not be the only thing, but it's the only thing I can think of at the moment] .

You were looking for marionettes. They care not for poison (unless induction is floating around.) or burning +1 Or blood curse.
