GrumpyGrandpa Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 What does the "Ignoring any special restrictions" clause on Sir Vantes include? Does it mean you get a "free charge", without having to use an action on it? Can you use it to move out of melee engagement and so forth?

Does it mean you get a "free charge", without having to use an action on it? Can you use it to move out of melee engagement and so forth? A few different points: 1. You get to take the Charge action for free (without having to use an action on it) because of the words "this model may take the Charge action". That's all a rule needs to say to generate a charge action, and actions generated by actions and abilities are free. 2. The answer to 'What does "ignoring any special restrictions" mean?' Special Restrictions: Quote Some Actions or Triggers have various special restrictions that limit the Action/Trigger so that it can only be declared in specific circumstances. These effects (written in italics) can be complicated, such as “This Action can only be taken while engaged.” Or they can be simple, such as “Enemy only.” In other words, they're part of the italics at the start of an action. Quote Charge Once per Activation. Cannot be declared while engaged. Push this model up to its Mv in inches. It may then take a Action that does not count against its Action limit. Those two italic sentences at the start of Charge are special restrictions (written in italics, and limit when you can declare the action) so Sir Vantes gets to ignore them. Note that the "does not cost against its Action limit" bit in Charge is completely redundant, and just the rules author trying to be helpful. 3. "Can you use it to move out of melee engagement and so forth?" Walk is the only action in the game which can't leave melee engagement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
