I have read the rules but have two questions: 1) Forward observer - I don't understand this rule, please could someone give an example? Thank you. 2) if I have a model with holomask and the model I choose to mask it with is hackable, e.g. Katherine cho using an omega, then if my opponent tries to hack me do they waste the order? Or do I have to tell them they can't do that?
1) it’s used like a regular BS Weapon, but you roll against your WIP instead of your BS. If you win, without any need for Saving Rolls, the target enters Targeted State. 2) Hackable is Private Information while under HoloMask, so you’ll have to try hacking, and then in the Resolution Step of the Order you’ll find out if you fulfilled the Requirements of the Hacking Program. In other words, they waste the Order.
Thank you, just to clarify does my target use his WIP or BS stat in the f2f roll for forward observer?
Your target uses whatever Attribute is relevant for their own Skill. For example: If they Dodge it's going to be your WIP against their PH, If they use BS Attack it's going to be your WIP against their BS*, *Ignoring Technical Weapons and Throwing Weapons for simplicity.
