Adding dice & Maximus' Implacable timing

The reason that cover doesn't change is because evaluating line of sight happens before the attack is declared.

My bet is Valkyrie's ability would still change as long as the displacement takes place before the roll occurs, since the passive is just always running.

I think Hannibal's would also be affected, since you're checking his line of sight for a constant passive and not as the first part of an attack.

 

Pending an answer from V, I would say that she still gets the blue dice, because the dice are calculated at the point that the action is declared, when Maximus was still adjacent.

This is the same reason for the black cover dice. It's to do with the state of the board at the point of action declaration, not when LOS is calculated (although that happens at the same time).

The reason black dice are determined before declaration is because line of sight is checked at the start during the requirements portion of the action. It has nothing to do with checking/calculating the state of the board. You should check the state of the board as needed excluding requirements.

 

This is right. 'Passive skills' are always running. Valkyrie gets the . You could consider Benediction of Freyja as a 'Block' Tactic: Just before Roll lets you add a . Same to Pointman: just when you are going to Roll it lets you add a (or not).

We're adding this question to FAQs which we're editing right now to be published ASAP.

 

I'm sorry. I misunderstood the example because I had in mind the example we've added to FAQs in which Maximus is away and he displaces to be adjacent to Valkyrie when she's just charged to a Maximus' ally.

Enroth's still right. If there is no adjacent inmobilized enemy to Valkyrie when she's just Rolling, she gets no .

 

Well, I stand corrected.

So, same if Maximus Blocks los for Hannibal? No Orange then?

 

We'll explain it via FAQs. The timing is:

- Attack declaration.
- Maximus displaces himself.
- Other effects, Tactics, etc.
- Just before Rolls: Check LoS for Pointman (this is not the LoS of Attack declaration).

· If there's LoS from Hannibal, Attacker adds to their Roll. (As Maximus is blocking LoS Attacker adds no one).
​

Same way for Valkyrie:

- Attack declaration.
- Inmobilized Maximus displaces himself.
- Other effects, Tactics, etc.
- Just before Rolls: Check adjacency for Benediction of Freyja.

· For every Inmobilized Enemy add to Valkyrie's Roll. (As Maximus is away, then she adds no one).

Hope it helps.

 

-V- you English is superb but I think when you state

It would be more clear if you stated " adds none"
I believe that "no one" implies in English a person or a character whereas "none" is more for an inanimate object such as a die. This is a fine point but other native English speakers may agree with me that my minor edit might be helpful to their English reading brain.

 

Thanks for your comment! I see the point. My English is far for being superb, hahaha. Glad if I managed you to understand what I meant.

 

@-V- As new FAQ recently came out I'm curious why I can not find relevant updates in it according to this thread.. am I overlooking something?

 

Tell me what specific question were you waiting for resolving.

Thx.

 

@-V- Well as it's stated in one of your posts in this thread: "We'll explain it via FAQs. The timing is:" . So I would love both topics about LOS becoming blocked for Hannibal and Maximus moving out of Valkyrie proximity be explained (maybe in some more general form) in FAQ, as at least in one other thread you have agreed to the different outcome for Hannibal once before.

 

Ok. Noted down.
