Justice Unleashed against terrifying creature

[Alliterato]

Hi all,

If Lady J want to take a Justice Unleashed action ( upgrade) against a Hungering Darkness in range, does she needs to take a horror check? Or in this case the HD is not a specific target, so no horror check occur.

And in the same situation if the HD is behind a blocking terrain piece, does the pulse stop or go through the blocking wall. There is a valid LOS because the HD has Ht 3 and the wall is just Ht 2. But the pulse has the same height as Lady J, which is Ht 2. Just as the wall.

Thanks,

Terrifying (All) 11: Enemy models must pass a TN 11 Horror Duel if they end a Walk Action within this model’s engagement range or target this model with an Action.

Justice Unleashed doesn't target anything so no horror check.

While it sounds a bit weird, a Ht2 pulse is not stopped by Ht2 wall according to the rules. If the models can see each other they can be affected by pulses and auras that are centered on either of them (assuming they are on same elevation).

First question: No, that pulse doesn't target Huggy, so no Horror check. It doesn't fulfill one of the trigger conditions of Terrifying.

 

Second question: I'm not sure, but tend towards it ends at the wall, because of the Ht.

I just knew there was some heavy-duty kindred spiriting going on in these forums. I've been telling all my friends and family, "You have to check out this game, Malifaux - it's like a steampunk Secret World with miniatures!"

Well, I am a big fan of Lovecraft and the World of Darkness, so there was no real way to get around Secret World. I'm fairly new, though, and still wrestle with the mechanics but I love it so far.

Weird. So I read something wrong but now that is clarified. If the wall is ht2 and a pulse is ht2. Why would it effect the ht 3 model behind the ht2 wall. Would it not just stop at the wall since it is not tall enough to go over it.

A Pulse is an instant effect that is centered on a model and radiates out in all directions from the edge of the model’s base. All elements within the Pulse’s area, excluding the

model it is centered on, are affected by it. A Pulse without a Ht listed is Ht 5.

 

justice unleased does not say it is ht 2. therefor it is ht 5 which can prolly see huggy just fine.

No.

 

P 51: "A pulse has the same Ht as the model it comes from unless specified otherwise."

Actually, No.

 

A pulse is the same Ht as the model that generates it unless specified otherwise..

I just got into it too.  My wife and I have done pretty much nothing but play Secret World for the last several weeks.
