dbr_83 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Just wondering what the sequence is for the wound(s) taken. Say if I use a damaging spell/attack (Self Loathing, Wail, Neverborn Wispers, etc.) and it takes the target down to 1 Wd due to Hard to Kill... would Emotional Trauma kill said target, or does it come into effect before the attack's damage?

nachtnebel Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Emotional Trauma happens when your target fails to resist the spell, before its effects are applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbr_83 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Ah, bugger, was afraid of that lol... it's never come up in a game as yet, but the thought randomly occurred to me Thanks for the swift reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96p Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 As I understand it, Emotional Trauma would take effect at the same time as the spell effect and therefore you could chose which happens first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike3838 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I'm not so sure 96p. Emotional Trauma happens *when* a model loses a WP duel, ie. at the same time. A spell effects going off have to come *after* it has been successfully cast surely? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oshova Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I would say you are affected by the spell, and then the after-effects. Would you do a trigger before the attack was complete? (unless it states otherwise =p) Ofcourse this mean, if you have multiple Emotional Traumas, you could take out the model even more easily. And as Emotional Trauma doesn't stack, they are resolved one after the other, then it doesn't matter about Armour, Spirit, or Hard To Kill. That is one of the things that used to make Alps so OP before they were changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karn987 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Natchnebel has it right guys. This is an old old question. Emotional Trauma happens first because it's when you fail the Wp duel, so that would be before you finish resolving the action. Think of it like this: *Wp Duel to Resist ***Fail Wp Duel ******Emotional Trauama ******Any other effects that trigger on failing Wp Duel (ex: Emotional Stress) ***Resolve the rest of the action So if it was Self-loathing, they'd take the 1 Wd from Emotional Trauma + Emotional Stress (which could break through the Hard to Kill barrier) then you would resolve the spell, so in this case... making the damage flip. Pandora is very good about dealing with those pesky Hard to Kill models, she's death by a thousand cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbr_83 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I thought it would've been something like that, but thought I had better check. Didn't want to jip my opponent... or myself =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
