Deathreavers and Ninjas Special Ability Question

[moorific]

I'm a little confused by the wording on their cards, but the Reaver's card says they can move four spaces after being attacked, and same with the ninja's. Now does this mean that they can WALK four spaces, counting elevation, water, etc. Or does this mean they can be simply placed on a space within four spaces? Thanks.

It means they can move four spaces, not place within four spaces. They still have to count elevation and stop in water.

I assume you mean if the opponent rolls no skulls? The Deathreavers can still Scatter, because the power activates if you got to "roll defense dice." Just because your opponent rolled no skulls, it doesn't mean your defense roll was negated. See also: Counterstrike vs. no skulls.

They may also use any movement related powers they have while doing this, like Disengage and Phantom Walk.

Well met!

When Deathreavers, Ninjas, and/or Isamu, move 4 spaces as a result of Scatter, Disappearing Ninja, and/or Vanish 9, we have always played it as a movement allowance of 4. "It means they can move four spaces, not place within four spaces. They still have to count elevation and stop in water." But my initial impression was that, as these units have a movement allowance of 6, they would have that allowance to move 4 spaces. Was I really wrong?

Also, I forgot to ask this, if a figure rolls zero attack dice against a Deathreaver, does that mean they can not scatter?
