    Does Murtair's cost for BITE cost 3 plus whatever his damage is? that would be the trend if going with everything else that the asterix does for his card i'm guessing?

    Thanks everyone!

    Bite cost 3 but you can expend more Action Points on it. So it can cost 3,4,5,6... and as the text say you add one :2: for each extra Action Point spent.

    If you use 5 Action Points on the Bite your roll will be :2::2::+::,::,:

    The :4:Damage only affect his Initiative :Y:.

    I assume that when Murtair uses Bite the active Player must choose in advance of rolling the dice whether to add extra Action Points to trigger the :6: which then will give the effect (which will always apply since it is a double green arrow) of adding the extra :2: for each action point spent.

    We also got into a discussion regarding using tactic cards against someone other than the character that has taunted you. For example i was taunted by Masacre but we were wondering if i could use a tactic to put a state on someone other than the character that had taunted me. Basically we weren't sure if using a tactic was considered an ATTACK.

    I quote the Reference Guide:
    1. Attacks are a type of Action indicated by a red title in the Character card.

      and

      Tactics are cards you can play during the game to apply some Effect

      So Tactics are not Attacks and Taunt only applies to Attacks.

      Remember there are also many green colored Actions that are quite powerful in this game. Those actions are not limited by the state of being taunted.

    Thanks Roadrunner, thats what i thought but wasn't sure, So still plenty of damage to be dealt when taunted! is there anywhere in the rules that states using tactics isnt considered an attack?

    @mike85 I can only suggest that you do not keep a mindset that any play that can cause :4: is some kind of Attack. Attack in this game is a red titled action for which you spend Action Points. In my recollection you never are required to spend Action Points to play a Tactic, in fact certain Tactics actually allow you to gain Action Points.

    @Roadrunner7431 thats what i figured, we couldn't find the clarification, but now i know that being taunted by someone only means i cant declare an ATTACK (red titled) action. So much to learn, and it's always interesting because something usually comes up in a game to get you thinking! This community is fantastic as well.

    @Roadrunner7431 for example, i'm still wrapping my head around the AGILITY for some of the new characters in smoke and mirrors too, it seems you can't even disengage with Taowu or with Murtair. You must have to use tactics to add a dice?

    If you try to disengage with Tao Wu you activate his Switch and your opponent discard a card.
    If an enemy try to disengage from Tao Wu, his Brawn score is :3::3: su you activate his Switch and your opponent discard a card.
    It's not healthy for your opponent...

    Murtair CANNOT disengage if you do not add dice with your tactics. It's the Aristeia version of Impetuous!

    I have not yet played much with Murtair but it has been stated in this forum that for situations where Murtair wishes to disengage himself it is often more efficient for him to use his attack Claw Swipe because for two Action points he rolls :+::,: and the attack specific switch allows him to displace his target by spending :1::3:.
