Q: When Blood Rain has been used, do Attack actions with the Dice characteristic count as having the Dice characteristic instead of the Dice characteristic, or in addition to it?

A: They replace the existing Dice characteristic – all Attack actions in the next activation use the Dice characteristic (and only that characteristic), even if they would normally use the Dice characteristic instead.

Q: When Blood Rain has been used, is it impossible to cast a spell Attack action?

A: No – remember that is always a success, so it is still possible (though difficult!) to cast a spell Attack action in that situation.

Q: If a fighter is affected by Insensate, can anything increase the damage they suffer beyond 1 damage in that activation (e.g. if Shattering Terrain is also in effect or if I play the Trap ploy)?

A: No.

Q: How does it work if my fighter has Soultrap and I have Rebirth in Blood in my hand? Can I use both cards?

A: Soultrap’s reaction triggers during the Attack action, and Rebirth in Blood triggers after the Attack action. If you react during the Attack action with Soultrap, then fail the roll, you can then react after the Attack action with Rebirth in Blood (as long as the conditions are met).

Q: Can I score Sigmar’s Bulwark if one of my fighters was damaged and then healed for the full amount (and all other fighters were unharmed)?

A: No.

Q: Can I score Sigmar’s Bulwark following an action phase where none of my fighters were alive?

A: Yes.

Q: Can I play this ploy if I do not have two friendly fighters adjacent to each other?

A: No. You cannot choose two adjacent friendly fighters in that situation, so you cannot meet the condition for the card to be played.

Q: How do I use Tireless Assault with an Attack action that targets more than one enemy, such as Severin Steelheart’s Mighty Swing?

A: An attack that targets more than one enemy is treated as a number of individual Attack actions performed one after the other, and each of those Attack actions is judged as succeeding or failing based on whether or not its target is damaged. If one of the Attack actions made as part of a Mighty Swing fails, you can play Tireless Assault (this can interrupt the Mighty Swing, and indeed will, unless the Attack action you are reacting to is the final Attack action made as part of Mighty Swing) to make another Attack action that targets the same fighter. This could be another Mighty Swing (allowing you to target other fighters as well). Once you have resolved the Reaction, if it interrupted Mighty Swing, you would then finish resolving Mighty Swing (unless that was no longer possible).

Q: If I use Fatal Riposte against an enemy fighter who is using an Attack action that targets multiple fighters, and it takes that enemy fighter out of action or drives them back so that they are not within range of their remaining targets, what happens to the rest of their Attack action?

A: As they can no longer resolve their action, it ends without being resolved any further.

Q: If I use Fatal Riposte and Steelheart has an Attack action that targets all adjacent fighters (e.g. his Mighty Swing) can I use that Attack action rather than an Attack action that only targets the attacker?

A: Yes, as long the attacker is one of the targets.

Q: Where Lightning Blast says ‘When they make a critical hit’, does ‘they’ refer to Obryn?

A: Yes.

Q: If I make the Righteous Strike Attack action and target an enemy leader, and the attack fails, I can make a reaction to make the Attack action again. If it fails a second time, can I make that reaction again (as it is triggered by the new Attack action’s failure)?

A: Yes (assuming that an opponent doesn’t make a reaction after the Attack action).

Q: With Angharad’s Furious Parry and Shield Bash: when do you check if the enemy’s Attack action is successful? Before or after Angharad is driven back?

A: Before. If the Attack action is not successful based on the attack and defence dice rolled (so before you check if the target is trapped) you can make either of these reactions.

Q: Can I score Claim the City if an objective token has been removed from the battlefield (e.g. by Desecrate) as long as I hold all remaining objectives?

A: Yes.

Q: If a fighter, in a single action phase, makes a Move action, is taken out of action and returned to play, is it still considered to have made a Move action in that phase, even though it no longer has a Move token?

A: Yes.

Q: If a fighter made a Move action as part of a Charge action, are they still counted for March of the Dead?

A: Yes.

Q: The Necromancer Commands allows a fighter, having failed an Attack action, to ‘make the Attack action again’. How does that interact with an Attack action that targets more than one enemy, such as the Harvester’s Whirling Scythe?

A: An attack that targets more than one enemy is treated as a number of individual Attack actions performed one after the other, and each of those Attack actions is judged as succeeding or failing based on whether or not its target is damaged. If one of the Attack actions made as part of the Whirling Scythe Attack action fails, you can play The Necromancer Commands to make that single Attack action targeting the same fighter again.

Q: If one of Ironskull’s Boyz is dealt 3 damage by an Attack action, is there a window where I can score Too Dumb to Die before my opponent plays Trap as a reaction to the successful Attack action and takes my fighter out of action?

A: No.

Q: If one of Ironskull’s Boyz is dealt 2 damage by an Attack action and the attacking player plays Trap to deal 1 damage, can I score Too Dumb to Die?

A: No. The damage dealt by Trap is separate from the damage dealt by the Attack action

Q: Can I play Kunnin’ But Brutal as a reaction to a Move action I have made with Quick Thinker, itself made as a reaction to the Move action made by another fighter as part of a Charge action?

A: Yes.

Current as at official Nightvault Designer's Commentary, November 2018

Q: Can I use the Last Lunge reaction even if my fighter doesn’t have an Attack action with a Range characteristic high enough for them to target their attacker?

A: Yes. If you do so you will not be able to resolve the Attack action (but you will still have used that reaction opportunity).

Q: If my fighter is taken out of action by a ploy and I use Last Lunge, can I choose any target for my fighter’s Attack action?

A: Yes (as long as they are within range and line of sight).

Q: Where Leadin’ By Example refers to a fighter that has not already made a Move or Charge action, does it mean in this phase or in the whole game?

A: This phase.

Q: Can I use Nervous Scrabbling to Inspire a fighter from Spiteclaw’s Swarm even if there are no adjacent fighters?

A: Yes.

A: This phase.

Q: When I use Expendable to remove my fighter from the battlefield, does my opponent gain a glory point?

A: No. However, from that point on the fighter is considered in every way to be out of action (e.g. for the purposes of enumerating fighters out of action and for determining which fighters can be returned to the battlefield with Skritch’s Action).

Current as at official Nightvault Designer's Commentary, November 2018

Q: : Can I use the Flee! upgrade’s action to make a Move action with Skritch and an adjacent fighter, regardless of the tokens they have?

A: Yes, as long as you have a way to take the action on the upgrade card (i.e. Skritch doesn’t have a Charge token, or you have a way to grant him an action regardless of whether or not he has a Charge token).

Q: Can I use the Flee! upgrade’s action even if there is no adjacent friendly fighter?

A: No.

Current as at official Nightvault Designer's Commentary, November 2018

Q: Does Skitter-scurry allow me to push the upgraded fighter twice when I make a Charge action?

A: Yes. You can push the fighter once after the Move action, and once after the Attack action (as long as your opponent does not play a reaction first). Note that the Move action must still end with your fighter in range to make an Attack action (before the push) or the Charge action cannot be made. Similarly, if the push takes your fighter out of range to make the Attack action, that Attack action cannot be resolved.

Q: Does Skitter-scurry allow me to push the upgraded fighter after each separate Attack action in an Attack action that targets multiple fighters (e.g. Whirling Halberd), assuming my opponent does not play a reaction first?

A: Yes. However, the only fighters you can target are those who were adjacent at the start of the action, and your fighter must be in range of each of those fighters to make an Attack action against them. If the fighter is pushed in such a way that they are not able to make an Attack action against any of their remaining targets, no further Attack actions are resolved.

Q: Does Sneaky Stab-stab allow me to push the upgraded fighter before each separate Attack action in an Attack action that targets multiple fighters (e.g. Whirling Halberd)?

A: Yes. However, the only fighters you can target are those who were adjacent at the start of the action (i.e. after the initial push, if you choose to use it), and your fighter must be in range of each of those fighters to make an Attack action against them. If the fighter is pushed in such a way that they are not able to make an Attack action against any of their remaining targets, no further Attack actions are resolved.

Q: Can I use Sneaky Stab-stab to make an Attack action when my fighter is not in range?

A: Yes, but only if the one hex push takes your fighter into a hex where they have line of sight to and are in range of the target. You cannot use Sneaky Stab-stab if you can't push the fighter within range to make their Attack action with the one hex push granted by Sneaky Stab-stab.

If something happens (e.g. a Reaction to the push) so that the fighter is no longer in range to make the Attack action, the Attack action is not made (it does not fail or succeed) and the activation ends. No reactions can be made that are triggered by an Attack action and it does not count towards objectives that count Attack actions made (because the Attack action is not made).
