:''Legend:'' 🟢 '''Official / team''' (designer <code>bubalosoldier</code>, staff <code>meksmaks</code>) · 🔵 '''Community''' (experienced players). Informal answers — the rulebook and official FAQ/Errata are the final authority.

=== Rolls & modifiers ===

'''Q:''' Is there such a thing as a critical Dodge roll?<br>
'''A:''' 🟢 No. A Dodge only succeeds or fails. Rolling a 1 on a Dodge is functionally the same as rolling a 16 (the maximum) — both simply succeed, and a roll of 1 is always a success.

'''Q:''' In what order do modifiers apply, and can an attribute reach 0?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 Additions/subtractions first, then halving/doubling. Halving always rounds up, so a stat practically never reaches 0 through halving alone — once Agility is at 1, halving again still returns 1. (An effective 0 is possible only in edge cases, e.g. deep water forces an Agility roll penalised by the model's Armour to avoid drowning.)

'''Q:''' Does Poison reduce base Toughness or the final value?<br>
'''A:''' 🟢 It applies to Toughness itself (the base value). Example: a T8 model that is Poisoned (−6) and Crippled (Toughness halved) rolls against (8 − 6) ÷ 2 = 1.

'''Q:''' Do critical hits apply to ranged attacks?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 Yes — crits apply to ranged attacks and to spells, not just melee.

=== Movement, engagement & reactions ===

'''Q:''' An enemy moves into base-to-base in my rear arc (no LoS, no Vigilance) — can I attack back?<br>
'''A:''' 🟢 No — you can only Dodge. Engagement is applied at the Resolution step, so without LoS (e.g. Vigilance) and without an Engaged state you cannot declare an attack in reaction.

'''Q:''' Is Agility penalised when dodging without LoS / from the rear arc?<br>
'''A:''' 🟢 Yes — dodging an attacker you can't see halves your Agility, but only in Reaction. You may Dodge in the Active role without penalty even without LoS.

'''Q:''' If A and B are Engaged, can A make a ranged attack against C in reaction?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 No — the Engaged state locks all ranged attacks.

'''Q:''' When can a ranged attack be declared in reaction?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 Whenever the activating model is within the weapon's reach (ranged weapon or spell) and in LoS — and as an attack of opportunity if the model leaves. (Re: p. 43, Note 2 — if the enemy would end up within its own melee range, a confrontation happens instead.)

'''Q:''' How does measuring work in Standard mode?<br>
'''A:''' 🟢 You may measure at any time (but not while moving), within your Awareness (Agility in inches), and you may measure your move when you declare a Movement. You must declare the Movement before you gain the distance you can pre-measure with — a high-SPD or flying model can't pre-measure its full run distance without first declaring the run.

=== Confrontation ===

'''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). Every other reacting model performs its attack normally and the target cannot respond to those — except it may try to Dodge everything. A Confrontation only occurs when two models strike each other simultaneously.

'''Q:''' (PvE) When do reactive Hostiles declare their reactions?<br>
'''A:''' 🔵 Turn order is Active Player Movement → Reaction → Action. Because of AI/script limitations, reactive monsters declare their reactions after the player's action, then act according to the player's reactions.
