Editing Actions (section)

=== Attack ===

An Action targeting one or more '''enemy models'''.

'''Requirements:'''
* LoS to the target (unless stated otherwise, e.g. [[Targetless]]).
* Must declare: target(s), attack type (Melee or Ranged), Item or Spell used, Skills and Combat Arts applied.
* A model may select only '''1 Item or 1 Spell''' per Attack (unless stated otherwise).

'''In Active Role (STK > 1):'''
* May distribute Strikes among multiple targets (up to STK value).
* Confrontation rolls are resolved separately per target.

'''In Reactive Role:'''
* STK is always '''1''' (regardless of Item's STK value).
* Must declare the exact point on the activated model's movement path where a Ranged Attack is aimed.

==== Melee Attack ====

* Uses '''Offense''' attribute (Active Role) or '''Defense''' attribute (Reactive Role).
* Requires a Melee Weapon or a Melee-Type Spell within Reach.
* Model may always attack '''Unarmed''' (PW: T or AG−3, RCH: 0, STK: 1, Unkeen Trait).
* Model with a Shield may perform a '''Shield Bash''' (PW: T, RCH: 0, STK: 1, Knockback 1, Unkeen).
* Spell Melee Attacks use '''Intellect''' (unless stated otherwise).

'''Confrontation:''' If both models target each other with Melee Attacks, Confrontation rolls are made — each model's Attack Roll must be lower than its attribute AND higher than the opponent's roll to succeed.

==== Ranged Attack ====

* Uses '''Accuracy''' attribute (Items) or '''Intellect''' attribute (Spells).
* Requires LoS at the declared point of attack.
* '''Friendly Fire:''' −4 stackable modifier per allied model in Base Contact with the target. Roll of 17–20 hits an allied model instead.
* '''Cover:''' Models within 1" of appropriate scenery may have Light Cover (−2 to attacker) or Heavy Cover (−4 to attacker).

==== Spell Attack ====

Spells are cast as either Attack or Assist Actions depending on the target:
* Targeting an '''enemy''' → '''Attack'''
* Targeting an '''ally''' or self → '''Assist'''

'''Requirements to cast Spells:'''
* Caster must have the correct [[Affinity (Element)|Affinity]] for the Spell's Element.
* Caster must not have '''both hands full''' (e.g. Shield + Weapon prevents casting).
* Only '''1 Spell per Activation''' (unless stated otherwise).
* Uses '''Intellect''' for the casting roll (unless stated otherwise).
* [[Mystic]] Class uses '''Morale''' instead of Intellect.

==== Area of Effect (AoE) Attacks ====

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%"
! Template Type !! Coverage !! Height !! Notes
|-
| '''Circular S''' (d=70mm) || Target must be fully covered || ±3" above/below center || LoS required between AoE center and each affected model.
|-

|-
| '''Spray S''' (213mm) || Target must be fully covered || ±5" above/below attacker || Narrow end at attacker's base. LoS required attacker → each model.

'''AoE rules:'''
* The '''main target''' must be fully covered by the template.
* All models whose Hitboxes are at least '''partially covered''' are affected.
* A model covered by '''multiple templates''' suffers each template's effect separately.
* A model may Dodge an AoE even after the template is successfully placed.
* If the main target wins Confrontation against the caster: the AoE is '''fully nullified''' and the template is not placed.
* The '''caster/user does not suffer''' their own AoE.
