Incorporeal vs Burning Path

[Busling]

Wanyudo charges through an Incorporeal model; and they fail the TN12 Mv duel from his 'Burning Path' ability. Does Incorporeal prevent the 1 damage?

His burning path ability states "After resolving an Action in which this model moved through one or more other models, those models must each pass TN12 Mv duel or suffer 1 damage and gain Burning +1".

Incorporeal states "Reduce all damage this model suffers from Attack Actions by 1, to a minimum of 0".

Is it that the Charge is a move action followed by an action attack. In this case the move/charge action does the damage and hence Incorporeal does not protect the model?

or is it that the Charge is an attack action and hence Incorporeal reduces the damage to 0?

Regardless it appears that the model gains burning +1.

The source of damage is Burning Path Ability, regardless of the Action that generated the move. That's why damage will not be reduced by Incorporeal anyway.

Charges are not attack action so incorporeal will not help. 

(It will help with the attack action that charge allows you to do afterwards. )

For reference, the distinction is in the Actions rules:

Quote

An Action with a Resist is an Attack Action. An Action without a Resist is a Tactical Action.

Thus, Charge is a Tactical Action, even though it generates an Attack action.

Just to clarify another point - I believe most people play that Burning Path does the damage (not the charge action).

And even if the charge action did it, it isn't an attack.

Thank you everyone. That is really clear and I appreciate the extra clarification you provided.
