Braxas Poisonous Acid Breath

[keglo]

My wife was using Braxas last night and a question on his special attack came up. For Poisonous Acid Breath it states:

Instead of attacking, you may choose up to 3 different small or medium figures withing 4 clear site spaces of Braxas. One at a time. roll the 20-sided dice for each chosen figure.

Now the question is, can you pick only one figure and use all three D20 rolls on the same figure? I do not think so, but the way it is worded makes it confusing.

It's saying that you can choose up to 3 targets, but they must be different. If there aren't 3 available, then you must choose 2 different, or just one figure period.

You may not use the attack on the same figure more than once.

The Book Of Braxas would be the best place for this question. (in the some vein, questions about any unit would best fit in the appropriate 'Book of')

My understanding of the ability is that Braxas must target different units. Up to three if there are three in range.

I think it is generally agreed that the word "different" is there to indicate that you cannot attack the same figure more than once per turn with Braxas.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I thought as you do, that you can only attack a single figure one time. It was more what it didn't say that confused me I think. Other cards like Nilfhhim's specifically states "You cannot attack the same figure more then once". Also, I am a bit confused as to what a "special attack" is, and what isn't. I just assumed that all special abilities that can cause harm or kill an opponent would be a special attack. But reading Braxas's book, it stated that Acid breath is NOT a special attack. Does this mean that any D20 ability is not considered an attack? In order to be an attack it must involve rolling the attack dice?

P.S. In the future I will try to remember to put these type of post in the appropriate figures book.

Also, Braxus is a lady dragon, unless you interpret 'Queen' differently.

If it doesn't say Special Attack in the name, it's not a special attack.

I reckon that's simple enough. Thank you.
