Perdition once per activation

[thunderwolf]

Is this the once per enemy activation ? Or Parker activation?

And lots of people say perdition does not work. I don’t see why ?

 

sorry trying to grasp the rules

Once every activation. If a scheme marker is dropped in an enemy activation in range and line of sight, Perdition happens. If a scheme marker is dropped in a friendly activation in range and line of sight, Perdition happens.

 

The "doesn't work" problem is because Perdition is an aura and auras require line of sight. That on its own wouldn't be an issue, save for two other rules working together. The first is that the main way Bandit models drop scheme markers is via the "Drop It!" trigger on their attacks, which allows the opponent to choose where the marker gets placed. The second is that the line of sight rules say that a 30mm base can block line of sight between two other 30mm bases. This means that the opponent can choose to place the scheme marker on the opposite side of their base to Parker, denying him line of sight for his Perdition aura (unless it is Parker himself declaring the trigger, for Parker it works fine, it's all the other models in the crew that don't work with it).
