Sonlen Q: Engaged Dragon Attack Capabilities
 

When Sonlen is engaged, can he dragon swoop someone that he is not engaged to. This would also apply to other characters with multiple abilities, Drund's cripling gaze, Morsbane's power of negation, and perhaps others too. My friend insists that all abilities must be focused on only the engaged figure.

Re: sonlen
 

Your friend is wrong, if it is a special attack, then it can only be directed against the engaged figure. But if it is a special power, such as Acid Breath, Crippling gaze, or such, then you may attack anyone within the powers reach.

Re: sonlen
 

Yes, he can. Only Attacks are limited to figures that are engaged. Special Powers, like Sonlen's Dragon Swoop, are not limited to figures that he is engaged with.

The same goes for Braxas' Poisonous Acid Breath, Morsbane's Rod of Negation, and Deadeye Dan's Sharpshooter, amongst others.

EDIT: ABOMINATION! :ninja:

Re: sonlen
 

He can dragon swoop whomever is in range. If it's a special ability (like Dragon Swoop, Negation, or Crippling Gaze), it can be used on figures that you aren't engaged to. If it's a special attack, you have to use it on the figure you're engaged to.

I am truly that which you call me. :p I finally figured a way how to not get ninja'd. You post a brief answer, then go and edit it to a more detailed explanation.

Re: sonlen
 

Thanks for all those prompt responses, especially since you agreed with my position. I immediately called my misguided friend and bombarded him with the information!:thumbsup:

Just to throw a monkey wrench into this discussion:

Correct me if I am wrong,
A Double Attack Special power must be directed at the engaged figure(s) as long as it is still engaged and still alive.

Since I am typing I need a sanity check:
Comman Squad Question: must I attack with the figures that moved, or can I move 4 figures and then attack with 4 seperate figures?

My understanding is that I must attack with the figures I moved this turn. Please chime in ( i need some expert input so feel comfortable in this rule because I just recently purchased 3 multiple squads for every common army wave 2 thru 8.

Re: Sonlen Q: Engaged Dragon Attack Capabilities
 

Don't know what you mean by Double Attack Special Power, but a Special Attack has to be used on engaged figures, but a Special Power does not.

The common squad figures you moved you must attack with.

Re: Sonlen Q: Engaged Dragon Attack Capabilities
 

Double Attack doesn't change the nature of the attack, it just lets you do it twice. The second attack has to follow all normal attack rules, including engagement requirements. So, yes, Syvarris' second attack (for example) must be directed at an engaged figure, if any.


Your understanding is correct. Unless a special power says otherwise (like the Zombies), you must attack with the figures you moved that turn.

Re: Sonlen Q: Engaged Dragon Attack Capabilities
 

Double Attack Special Power: Krug & Syvarris has this. It is a special power. Are you saying Syvarris can attack an engaged figure and then on his second attack, target a non-enganged figure?

Edit: Never mind.

Re: Sonlen Q: Engaged Dragon Attack Capabilities
 

Okay now that I know what you're talking about, no. What MI_Tiger said is correct.

Re: Sonlen Q: Engaged Dragon Attack Capabilities
 

If the second figure is not engaged to Krug, then the big boy can't attack that figure. He only has range 1, you realize.
