Peasants - summoning

[athelu]

Question on summoning vs. hiring. I understand that you can only hire two peasants in a list, but can you exceed that through "witness a miracle"?

Nope. Rarity exists on the field too.

The ability:

Quote

Witness A Miracle: If this model takes a (1) Interact Action outside of its Activation, summon a Peasant into base contact with this model.

Second paragraph of the summoning rules:

Quote

A Crew may never exceed a model's Rare limit through summoning. If, for example, an Action would summon a Rare 1 model into a Crew when the Crew already has a copy of that model on the table, the effect that summons the model fails.

 

So, no, it can't exceed the rare limit.  Note that when a model is killed, it's removed from the game and no longer counts against the limit.  So you can use Witness a Miracle when you have one surviving peasant and you want a second one.

But buried models count against the rare limit.  So the summoning would fail if you had one peasant on the table, another one buried, and you tried to use Witness a Miracle.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I did not pay close attention to the Summoning rules as my faction/masters don't really do it.
