Rather than keep off-topic, I was hoping to continue the discussion around Opposed Willpower Duels (sparked off by Tanner's Pitiful ability) in this thread within the appropriate forum.
As suggested in that thread, using the check-list for what constitutes an attack it was clearer to see which Opposed Willpower Duels (Wp->Wp) counted as attacks and which did not.
For those that didn't (Pitiful and Expose Fears) the language was similarly worded in contrast to something like Pandora's Incite/Pacify which has things like "If the target model loses" etc.
I think I have a solid understanding of how it works now, but one ability seems to skirt between the two cases. The Onryo's Haunt ability doesn't count as an attack as per the definition on RM, pg18 but it has language like "target model" and "if the target model loses." Add that you can select any model within 6" to receive the effects and it reads like an attack.
My question is, is this ability a weird exception or is it just like Pitiful where there is no defender? Sorry for the heap of text and feel free to throw up other examples for discussion
