    Hi everyone,

    Can Maximus us his "Get behind me!" ability to absorb damage to an adjacent ally from a flipped burning token?

    I'm new to the boards, but I'm loving Aristeia!

    Since the experts in Spain are now asleep, I will attempt to answer. The key thing here is that Maximus' "Get Behind Me" is an automatic skill. I quote the Reference Guide:
    In addition to Actions, some Character cards include Automatic Skills, indicated by their orange title . Automatic Skills’ Effects are always active, even during an Enemy’s Activation, or when the Character is in the Infirmary or the Bench.
    So "You can suffer :4:instead of an adjacent Ally" Flipping a burning token can cause damage = :4: so I would say Yes, Maximus may absorb the damage.

    And that's the right answer, 'cos Maximus may suffer :4:Damage instead of an Adjacent Ally, but "Get Behind Me!" does not specify a source this :4:Damage comes from.

    :wink:
