Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

Yes. I don't know if it was established before Braxas' release or not, but her book definitely states that the engagement rules do not apply to her Poisonous Acid Breath Special Power.

No because Poisonous Acid Breath is not a Special Attack. (Hasbro FAQ)

Remember, you can use special powers and abilities that affect ranged opponents while still engaged to other opponents. (Hasbro FAQ)

Can a unit use a special power on a non-adjacent figure if it is engaged?
Yes it can. Braxas is a great example. See the section on Rulings and Clarifications in The Book of Braxas.

I've copied it here for easiness sake:

There is a difference between Special Powers/Abilities and Special Attacks.
Awesome! That's the decision we came to but it never hurts to find out for sure. Thanks for the quick response!

As a general rule, engagement only applies to attacks (including special attacks). It does not apply to any other powers unless stated.

Re: Question Dump: Post Your Questions Here.

Can a player choose to NOT roll their figure's defense?

Also, can you target and attack your own figure with another of your figures?

1. I don't think so. How did this come up? Some corner case in a multiplayer game?

2. Yes. Cyprien is especially fond of his brothers in arms.

Thanks!

1. I'm creating a custom unit that has a special attack much like Mimring's Fire Line S.A. But when you deal damage to a friendly figure it is healed instead.

Because in that case, you wouldn't want to defend against the attack.

This thread would indicate that you must roll defense dice

https://www.heroscapers.com/communit...ad.php?t=28816

I love the sound of that Special Attack (Ability?) that you're working. Very creative and could add some cool mechanics to an army with that figure.

On page 5 of the FAQ (v13.4) it says:

No. You have to roll the number listed on your Army card, plus any enhancements.

This doesn't exactly answer the question, since not rolling isn't quite the same as rolling less.
