FAQs

(from the official FAQ or responses to the official rules question form)
  • Reversal of ruling: Original Q: If I use Cheap Shot against Harbinger of Valusia, do I add one resource or two? A: Both the attack and the evasion will add a resource to it, so Harbinger of Valusia will gain 2 resources from Cheap Shot if you succeed by 2 or more. Reversal (for now, at least) on Cheap Shot re: the Harbinger. It only gives you a token for the combat skill test, since the automatic evasion is neither successful nor unsuccessful, but automatic (which doesn't trigger "successful" effects).

    • Clarification came from this. Note reversed ruling may be reversed again! Q: I seem to recall a discussion indicating that automatic evasion wasn't "successful" evasion, though, since there's no skill test involved. And since the Harbinger requires a successful attack or evasion (and bearing in mind the rule that qualifiers apply to each term in a list), wouldn't Cheap Shot apply only one resource token to the Harbinger? A: Hm... Technically you are correct... although I've been wondering about that ruling regarding "automatic" evasion and "successful" evasion. I don't know how intuitive it is. For now, you are correct... but know that I may reverse that ruling at some point. It's kind of confusing either way, to be honest.

Now that Marksmanship is out, my group did a theoretical calculation of max damage possible in 1 attack, particually to kill this guy in one attack. The following assumes a party of 4 players and using Extra Ammunition, Venturer and Contraband to pump ammo into Shotgun equal to or higher than the amount of chaos tokens.

Thanks Caius and Jd90 for your tips
