A while back there was a big ole thread about Lure, which ended up that everyone agreed that we wanted it FAQ'd. Now we did get a bit of FAQ'ing so I figured it's time to see if it helped out in straightening stuff up.
Premises:
Lure: Move target model its Wk. The target must end the move as close to this model as possible
Clarification, just because they pop up in most of these discussions - it's a Move not a Push, so we can't reference the push rule.
Q: If a model with the Lure Action targets a model in base contact, can Lure be used to move the targeted model, so long as it ends in base contact with the model taking the Lure Action?
A: No. A model which is already in base contact may not be moved any further with the Lure Action.
Pounce:When an enemy model ends a push or move within this model's engagement range that is not part of a Walk or Charge Action, this model may...
So, with that said I'll just toss out a few statements and see if we agree.
Situation A
B lures A. A has a wk of 7 and stands 2" from B. Does A have to move in a straight line and stop in base to base with B, like with a Push, or can B make A use its full wk of 7 as long as it stops in base to base contact? This question only arises if the model is so close that it actually has "spare wk", otherwise it'd always take the shortest route, of course. See image below
As it stands by the current rules, I'm going with Yes, the above is legal. A moves it Wk and it ends it move as close as possible (0" from .
Situation B
A stands right next to B. B attempts to Lure A.
As per the FAQ the target doesn't move.
Can the action be taken even though it will not generate any move?
This is of interest because of things like "She doesn't look that dead to me", Not that kind of girl, Smell Fear, Feast of Fear etc, that triggers on failed Wp duels or on successful Lures.
My interpretation is Yes, the action can be taken, it just move the target.
Situation C
A stands right next to B. B attempts to Lure A.
As per the FAQ the target doesn't move.
Does this trigger Pounce?
By extension, is 0" still a move of 0"?
My interpretation is No, because as per the FAQ, it simply doesn't move, so we don't really have to factor in if 0"= A Move.
