    I have a question after I was unable to find a prior post in the rule section via search function.

    Scenario: Prism taunts enemy model, Parvati. Parvati, is within range to conduct her "Submachine Gun" attack. Parvati activates...

    Prism's Taunt Rules: "Enemies taunted by you that can perform an attack against you must attack you whenever they can."

    Can Parvati spend action points to move away from Prism to then use the attack "Contender?"

    Or, can Parvati perform green actions i.e. Reset, removing the taunt state even though it is not an attack?

    Or, is Parvati forced to perform both "Submachine Gun" and "Contender" wiping all action points?

    That's probably because of the typo in her name, it's Prysm. ;-)

    If the Character is able to Attack Prysm, they MUST do so, until they are no longer able to do so, for example by not having enough Action Points.

    So Parvati is only going to be able to use Reset if she cannot declare an Attack on Prysm. Note that she could do Submachineguns Akimbo twice, leaving her with one Action Point to do MediKit, but Reset is going to be almost impossible.

    Oh my bad. :)

    I'll see if I can edit that. (Ah, I can't)

    Okay, so their APs must be expired to the point that they cannot perform another attack, but with their reaming APs, if any, they can conduct green or movement actions.

    So, what if Prysm and Parvati were btb? Parvati cannot attack since her attack range is 2-6". Would she, then be able to spend APs on anything she wanted then? Or, would she need to attempt to disengage to then attack.

    First she'd have to declare Contender, as that has a range of 1-8. She'd then be able to spend the remaining 2AP however she wanted, as it's not enough for a second Contender attack.
