'''Q:''' When placing an AoE template, what happens if you cannot fully cover the main target?

'''A (meksmaks, Mar 30, 2026):''' You cannot perform the attack — analogous to a target being out of RCH. The template must fully cover the main target.

----

'''Q:''' When casting a Targetless AoE in Reaction, does the template need to be centred on the target?

'''A (meksmaks, Apr 01, 2026):''' You cannot use Targetless in Reaction. However, AoEs can still be positioned in Reaction — the template needs to fully cover the target (or as much as possible).

'''Q:''' Do AoE attacks apply the standard −4 Friendly Fire modifier and the 17–20 target-switch?

'''A (meksmaks, Apr 02, 2026):''' AoEs are exempt from the stackable −4 modifier and the 17–20 Friendly Fire rule. However, all Hits that can deal damage (including melee Sweeps) still trigger Friendly Fire rolls. Exception: spells that cannot damage friendly models (e.g. Blinding Light) are fully exempt.

'''Q:''' If a healing spell with STK 2 (e.g. A Second Chance, Hastened Recovery) targets the same model twice, does it apply the effect twice?

'''A (meksmaks, Apr 28, 2026):''' No. You cannot apply Attack Roll logic to an Assist-type spell. Splitting STK on different targets is fine, but targeting the same model twice does not double the healing.

----

'''Q:''' Does Chain Attack trigger on Spells?

'''A (meksmaks, Jun 17, 2026):''' Yes — Spells are not a separate category. They are a tool that can be Melee or Ranged, just like Weapons. Chain Attack triggers on any successful Hit by another friendly model.

----

'''Q:''' Can a Protector on elevated terrain intercept an attack on an ally at a different height?

'''A (meksmaks, Jun 17, 2026):''' Yes — Protector requires being within ½ SPD, including vertically. Otherwise it functions as normal.

----

'''Q:''' Is the same spell an Attack or an Assist depending on the target?

'''A (deokel, Jun 2026):''' Yes — actions targeting friendly models = Assist; actions targeting enemies = Attack. The same spell can function as either depending on its target. Casting a healing spell on an enemy (if it has a harmful effect) would be an Attack.
