Marcus Howl Question

[joediamond]

Marcus Howls near a non-Beast model, giving them the "Hear the Call" Condition.  ("If this model is a Beast, it gains +2 WP.  If this model is not a Beast, it suffers -2 WP")

 

Then, Marcus' crew, sometime later in the same turn, gives this same model the Beast condition, through any of Marcus' various methods (Feral, Primal Awakening trigger, and so on).

 

My question is: Does the enemy model now have +2 WP instead of -2 from Hear the Call because it is now a Beast, or does the Condition only care about the model's characteristics at the moment when Marcus takes the Howl action?

 

(And visa versa, if say a model is temporarily given the Beast characteristic, Marcus Howls, and then the Beast characteristic is lost later on in the turn)

 

Thanks!

It changes, I'd assume. Nothing in the text indicates that only the characteristics at the moment the model gains the condition count.

Yes, it changes. Howl gives a condition that basically says; if you aren't a beast, -2 Wp....if you ARE a beast, +2 Wp.

 

Every time you reference that model's Wp, first check to see if it is a beast or not and apply the appropriate modifier.

Don't howl at Pandora then turn her into a beast...
