Q: Hidden Paths says that the fighter is considered to have made a Move action. Does this count towards triggering cards like Kunnin' But Brutal and March of the Dead?

A: The fighter gains a Move token but Hidden Paths is not a Move action (or, indeed, an action of any kind). This means that Kunnin' But Brutal cannot be triggered by Hidden Paths (because there was no action to make the reaction to), and you cannot score Cover Ground from Hidden Paths (because it isn't a Move action). However, as the fighter is considered to have made a Move action in that round, that fighter does count for March of the Dead when you check that in the end phase.

Q: If my fighter hasn't made a Move action but has one or more Move tokens (e.g. if they were chosen by Transfixing Stare), can I still use Hidden Paths on them?

A: Yes.

Q: How do Move modifiers interact with Invisible Walls?

A: Invisible Walls sets all fighters' Move characteristics to 1, then any modifiers are applied to those characteristics of 1. For example, if a fighter has the Great Speed upgrade, in the activation in which Invisible Walls is in effect that fighter would have a Move of 2.

Q: How does Spectral Wings interact with Invisible Walls?

A: If both of these cards are played in the same power step, in any order, the first fighter to make a Move action in the next activation has a Move characteristic of 3.

Q: If a successful Rebound ends the combat sequence, is there an opportunity to react with “during an Attack action that fails” reactions such as Gorefist?

A: No.

Q: When can I play Rebound?

A: After step 3 of the combat sequence, if you can see from the attack and defence roll that the Attack action will succeed, either because the attacker rolled more successes or because you rolled the same number of successes but the target would be trapped.

Q: Who has dealt the damage dealt by Rebound?

A: The damage is dealt by the warband of the player who played Rebound.

Q: If a player plays Rebound during an Attack action and successfully rolls a Dodge or Critical success for that reaction, is the Attack action considered to have failed?

A: Yes.

Q: If a character with a Dodge Defence characteristic has the Acrobatic upgrade, do they have to be on Guard to get the extra dice?

Q: To score Calculated Risk, does my fighter only have to move into a lethal hex and survive, or do they have to move into a lethal hex, out of that lethal hex, and survive?

A: The latter.

Q: Can I score Calculated Risk if the fighter's Move action takes them through a lethal hex (which they survive) and then back into that lethal hex so that it takes them out of action?

A: No.

Q: Can I score Calculated Risk if the fighter's Move action takes them through a lethal hex (which they survive) and then into a second lethal hex that takes them out of action?

A: Yes.

Q: If I draw Martyred or Strong Start during a round, after the condition to score them has been met, can I score them?

A: No. You must have these cards in your hand at the time the condition is met to score them. Note that the conditions on Martyred and Strong Start can be met in each round, so if you keep the card in your hand after drawing it you may have the opportunity to score it in later rounds.

Q: If both an enemy fighter and a friendly fighter are taken out of action at the same time, and those are the first fighters taken out of action in a round, can either player score Martyred and/or Strong Start?

A: No. There is no single first fighter taken out of action in that example.

Q: Can a fighter with this upgrade make a normal Move action?

A: No.

Q: When a fighter with this upgrade makes a Charge action how does it work?

A: The fighter does not move normally. Instead, you place them on any objective token. Note that you must still follow the other rules for making a Charge action, so there must be an enemy fighter within range and line of sight of one or more of the moving fighter's Attack actions at the end of its move.

Q: Can a fighter with a Move characteristic of 0 still use Faneway Crystal to Move to an objective token?

A: Yes (with the exception of fighters that cannot make Move actions, like the Stalagsquig).
