Re: The Book of Dzu-Teh

The FAQ says this:
Q: If a Dzu-Teh is engaged to an opponent‟s figure, and uses Glacier Traverse to leave the engagement, is it subject to a leaving engagement attack?
A: Yes, the Dzu-Teh would still take a leaving engagement attack from the figure it was engaged with.
That specifically says "to leave the engagement." Moving to another space adjacent to the figure does not leave engagement, so this ruling does not apply to the question at hand.

The fact that powers like Swamp Water Tunnel specifically say they cause LEAs when they "start to tunnel," and Glacier Traverse does not, is indicative of a difference. "Do what the card says, not what it doesn't say" is a common (though at times incorrect) motto for situations like this. I'd say the Dzu-Teh remains engaged during the Glacier Traverse movement.

Realistically, though, it's just a poorly-worded power. Later powers did similar things in a way that makes more sense.
