Character Bio: Master Lao Xin has been summoned by Ullar. He leads all monks, across all generals, as their Sifu: a master, teacher, or leader. A master of many martial arts, Lao Xin's attacks never miss their target.
SIFU
After revealing an Order Marker on Master Lao Xin, instead of taking that turn with Master Xin, you may take a turn with one Monk hero you control and either another Monk hero or a Monk Squad you control. You may choose which one to activate first. Master Xin may be one of the chosen Monk Heroes. Any other figure that is taking a turn with Sifu must be within clear sight of Master Xin before moving.
MASTER’S STRIKE
When rolling attack dice for a normal attack, Master Xin always adds 1 automatic skull to whatever is rolled.
STEALTH LEAP 25
Instead of his normal move, Master Xin may use Stealth Leap 25. Stealth Leap 25 has a move of 3. When counting spaces for Stealth Leap 25, ignore elevations. Master Xin may leap over water without stopping, leap over figures without becoming engaged, and leap over obstacles such as ruins. Master Xin may not leap more than 25 levels up or down in a single leap. If Master Xin is engaged when he starts his Stealth Leap 25, he will not take any leaving engagement attacks.
-Rulings and Clarifications-
- Q: Would Master Lao Xin be able to use the treasure glyph Revenant's Tome when using his Sifu power?
A: Yes, if Master Lao Xin is one of the units to take a turn. Master Lao Xin would be able to use Revenant's Tome immediately before taking his turn. If he is the second unit to take a turn, Revenant's Tome would be used between the two turns.
- - STEALTH LEAP 25 : “Single Leap” Clarification
In Stealth Leap 25 it says "Master Lao Xin may not leap more than 25 levels up or down in a single leap." Does a single leap mean one of the 3 moves that Stealth Leap 25 contains or the total of the leap?
It refers to the total up and down movement of the Stealth Leap move. (Hasbro FAQ)
- STEALTH LEAP 25 : Leaping Over Lava
Can Master Lao Xin use Stealth Leap 25 to leap over molten lava without taking molten lava damage?
Yes. (Hasbro FAQ)
- STEALTH LEAP 25 : Total Up/Down Movement
If Master Master Lao Xin Stealth Leaps over a 16 level high castle wall, would he be able to land 10 levels down on the other side of it?
Yes. The total up or down movement cannot be more than 25 levels above or below the level you started on. You ignore elevations up to 25 levels because Master Lao Xin cannot leap higher than that. Wherever you land, it cannot be more than 25 levels above or below the level you started on. (dnutt99)
- STEALTH LEAP 25 : Leaping Across Obstacles
Can Master Lao Xin Stealth Leap over a 30 level deep canyon if he lands on the same level on the other side?
Yes. The total up or down movement for that leap was 0, so that is fine. (Hasbro FAQ)
- STEALTH LEAP 25 : Falling Damage
Does Master Lao Xin take falling damage when he stealth leaps less than 25 levels down?
No, he does not take falling damage as long as he is Stealth Leaping less than 25 levels down. (Hasbro FAQ)
- STEALTH LEAP 25 : Enhanced Movement
Can Master Lao Xin's Stealth Leap 25 be enhanced by roads or other movement bonuses?
No, Stealth Leap 25 is not enhanced by anything and has a maximum movement of 3 hexes. (dnutt99)
- STEALTH LEAP 25 : Leaping Over Terrain Occupied By Other Units
A narrow wall of terrain rises from a flat field, one hex wide, 10 hexes long and 20 hexes tall, barring the Monk's path. Master Lao Xin wishes to LEAP over the wall, and could ordinarily do so since his LEAP is able to clear a maximum height of 25. However, 10 Minions of Utgar stand along the 10 hexes of the wall-top. Minions are height 6 figures. Does this situation represent a "total height" of 26 (terrain 20 + figures 6 = 26) making the LEAP impossible? Or do the Minion figures NOT count toward the total height that the Master Monk must clear (and thus the is allowed to make this, a height 20 LEAP)?
A figure's height doesn't add height to the terrain as it is not a wall or a part of the terrain. The monk would be able to leap to the safety of the above height before he started Assaulting the Minions. (Hasbro FAQ)
- STEALTH LEAP 25 : Stealth Leaping "Through" Figures
Can Master Lao Xin Stealth Leap through a space that is occupied by another unit if there is not enough room to physically move him through that space? (Like an enemy unit standing in a 'window' of terrain.)
Master Lao Xin would be able to stealth leap over/through the figure. Remember, figures are not walls. Also, when it comes to "space" there is a point where you just have to draw a line. Even if the figure was encased in the window, and it seems the leaping figure wouldn't be able to leap through/over it, he can. He's a crazy leaping monk. And he's awesome. (Hasbro FAQ)
