Heroscaper 101's bestiary

Gladiator Life Debt is for gladiator heroes and it is easier to describe than Gladiator Life Debt. His Offensive Formation is an ability now instead of a special power, it gives 1 additional attack die only if Deimos attacks alone.
The final ability Spartans Rage, it gives you a total of 3 attacks for Deimos.

I can tell what the powers do. My question was more why you decided to change the powers?

It was to give the card more balance and more fun to play with. The old Offensive Formation was like Siege's Crag of Steel. A special power like that deserves to be bequeathed to a armored figure.

Nice use of "bequeathed". One of my favorite words.

The figure looks like he's completely covered in chain mail, with a cloak on top.

Q. TACTICAL DISENGAGEMENT 7 : Multiple Wounds
After Sir Yaren is dealt multiple disengagement wounds from a single figure (such as a Knight of Weston, with his COWARD'S REWARD Special Power), does one successful roll of the d20 for Yaren's TACTICAL DISENGAGEMENT 7 allow him to ignore both wounds just dealt, or must he roll again to escape the second wound?
A. Only one successful d20 roll is necessary to ignore any number of disengagement wounds from a single figure. If Sir Yaren disengages from multiple figures in a single move, he will have to roll the d20 once for each figure, regardless of how many wounds would have been dealt.

Smoke Cloud
If any Blood Mist Ninja is attacked and at least 1 skull is rolled, roll the 20-sided die to vanish. If you roll 1-12, roll defense dice normally.

Phantom Walk
Blood Mist Ninjas can move through all figures and they are never attacked when leaving an engagement.

Counter Strike
When rolling defense dice against a normal attack from an adjacent attacking figure, all excess shields count as unblockable hits on the attacking figure. This power does not work on other Samurai.

_________________________________________________________________
-Rulings and Clarifications-

- SMOKE CLOUD : Maximum Movement
When using Smoke Cloud, can Blood Mist Ninjas movement be enhanced by anything like roads, or auras to increase the amount of spaces he can move?
No. That is a static move value. Blood Mist Ninjas may move up to 4 spaces to vanish, but cannot move any further. (Hasbro FAQ)

- SMOKE CLOUD : Moving “0 Spaces”
Do Blood Mist Ninjas have to move in order to vanish?
It depends on the situation. In order to vanish, Blood Mist Ninjas must end their vanishing move not adjacent to any enemy figures, but remember, the move for Smoke Cloud is up to the amount listed, so Blood Mist Ninjas could choose to move 0 spaces as long as they are not already adjacent to an enemy figure and still vanish.

- SMOKE CLOUD : Vanishing vs. Cyberclaw
If Blood Mist Ninjas cannot move because of a special power like the Gladiatron’s Cyberclaw (or any other move inhibiting power) can they still use Smoke Cloud?
If Blood Mist Ninjas cannot move, and is stuck in melee combat (adjacent to an enemy figure) they cannot use Smoke Cloud. Remember, they must end their vanishing move not adjacent to an enemy figure.

- SMOKE CLOUD : Vanishing vs. Ullar Enhanced Rifle
If Dead Eye Dan attacks any Blood Mist Ninja with his Ullar's Enhanced Rifle and rolls a skull, can Blood Mist Ninjas still use Smoke Cloud?
Yes. Smoke Cloud reads, "If any Blood Mist Ninja is attacked and at least 1 skull is rolled..." It mentions nothing about defense dice. The only requirement for Smoke Cloud to activate is for the opponent to roll at least 1 skull.

- SMOKE CLOUD : Vanishing vs. The Retchets Sting
If The Retchets of Bogdan successfully roll all skulls, activating their Sting power, can Blood Mist Ninjas still roll for Smoke Cloud?
No. When the Rechet rolls a skull on every die, the “attack phase” is over, and the figure is IMMEDIATELY destroyed. Much like most of the D20 destroy powers, things like Disappearing Ninja, and Stealth Armor 15 do not help against it. It's an instant removal from the board.

- COUNTERSTRIKE : Who is affected by counterstrike
Does Counter Strike work against other characters that have Counter Strike?
Yes, the only time the Blood Mist Ninjas Counter Strike is negated is against other Samurai. All other figures that have counterstrike
can still be affected by it unless otherwise stated on their card.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

- RENDING SWIPE SPECIAL ATTACK : Keep rolling vs. "ignore wound(s)" powers?
If any figure has a special power that allows it to ignore the wound(s) inflicted by Razor Blood-edge’s Rending Swipe Special Attack, can Razor Blood-edge keep rolling the D20 for Poison Sting Special Attack?
No. Even though it doesn't explicitly state it, the reason he continues to roll for bleeding damage is because the wound is still being inflicted. If the wound were ignored, you would stop rolling for Rending Swipe Special Attack.
Special Case: For a power like Crixus & Migol's One Shield Defense, if you inflicted at least 1 wound on the initial attack roll, even though that's the MOST you could hit them with, inflicting the wound, will still trigger the bleeding roll. If you roll a 10-19, you can't inflict the wound, so you can't re-roll, but if you roll a 20, the defending figure would STILL be destroyed!

- RENDING SWIPE SPECIAL ATTACK : Ignore wound(s) just received OR all wounds?
If a power that "ignores wounds just received" (like Acolarh’s Leaf of the Home Tree Aura) triggers on the bleeding roll, does it allow the defending figure to ignore ALL wounds from the attack?
No. Only the wound(s) that were just inflicted when the power was triggered.
