=== Attacks & confrontation ===

'''[[Sweep]]'''

<section begin="Sweep" />
'''Q:''' How does the Sweep trait work?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 Sweep is a trait, not a skill. For every successful attack, every model in the 360° arc within the weapon's range that hasn't dodged takes a hit.

'''Q:''' Sweep vs a model in confrontation, while a second model within reach [[Dodge|dodges]] successfully and the attacker wins — does the dodging model get hit?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 The dodging model avoids the hit because its Dodge succeeded — unless the hit was a Critical.

'''[[Confrontation]]'''

<section begin="Confrontation" />
'''Q:''' What happens when both models roll the same value on a confrontation roll?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 Nothing — the attacks neutralise each other.

'''Q:''' Several of my models react with attacks against one active enemy — how does the confrontation work?<br>
'''A:''' 🟢 Only one reacting model resolves a Confrontation with the active model (the one striking it simultaneously). The others perform their attacks normally and the target can't respond to those — except it may try to Dodge everything.

'''[[Dodge]]'''

<section begin="Dodge" />
'''Q:''' Is there such a thing as a critical Dodge roll?<br>
'''A:''' 🟢 No. A Dodge only succeeds or fails; rolling a 1 is the same as rolling a 16, and a 1 always succeeds.

'''Q:''' Is [[Agility]] penalised when dodging without LoS / from the rear arc?<br>
'''A:''' 🟢 Yes — it is halved, but only in Reaction. You may Dodge in the Active role without penalty even without LoS.

'''[[Toughness]]'''

<section begin="Toughness" />
'''Q:''' Does a high Toughness make 20 a critical on the damage roll? Does Armour act as a modifier?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 No. Toughness has no crit value — you never use it for the Attack Roll, and only Attack Rolls can crit. [[Fencing]] affects OFF/DEF/ACC/INT/M, not T. A Power of Attack above 20 isn't a crit; it's just auto-damage against models whose Armour is below the final PW.

'''Modifiers & rolls'''

<section begin="Modifiers" />
'''Q:''' In what order do modifiers apply, and can an attribute reach 0?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 Additions/subtractions first, then halving/doubling (halving rounds up). A stat won't reach 0 by halving alone — once [[Agility]] is 1, halving still returns 1.

'''Critical Hit'''

<section begin="Critical Hit" />
'''Q:''' Do critical hits apply to ranged attacks?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 Yes — crits apply to ranged attacks and to spells, not just melee.

<section end="Critical Hit" />

'''[[Hit and Retreat]]'''

<section begin="Hit and Retreat" />
'''Q:''' Does Hit and Retreat give two movements plus an attack, and can its [[Sweep]] hit models in the rear arc?<br>
'''A:''' 🟢 Yes. Hit and Retreat cancels the [[Engaged]] state; the Sweep then hits every model within the weapon's reach, including the rear arc.

'''[[Defensive Stance]]'''

<section begin="Defensive Stance" />
'''Q:''' What does Defensive Stance do?<br>
'''A:''' 🟢 It defaults the model's base STK (as printed on the weapon) to 1 in the Active phase, raising reactive Strike in exchange. It has nothing to do with [[Sentinel]].
