Issue a Duel
A duel is an honorable alternative to a skirmish and to unnecessary bloodshed. When both sides agree to a duel, they must both bow to the ancient laws and leave their fates to their singular chosen champions! Only a member belonging to the player’s original party can declare this Action. Summoned creatures, familiars etc. cannot declare this Action. If a model issues a duel, the opposing player may decide whether they will accept or refuse it. If the opposing player accepts, they must appoint a model from their party which will duel with the model issuing the duel. If the duel is agreed upon, both dueling models’ Activation Points are restored to match their default Stamina value and the duel begins. While the two models duel, no other model can be activated or react. If a model which is not dueling would interfere (with a certain Skill, for example Chain Attack), the side it belongs to automatically loses the duel, and the other side automatically wins. Models belonging to the involved model, such as already summoned creatures, familiars, etc. can fight alongside the dueling model they belong to. (Note: Summoners are allowed to summon creatures which may help them in the duel.) The duel ends when one of the two models becomes Incapacitated or Dead ( States). When the duel ends, the game endsas well. that issuing and accepting a duel results in the end of the game and any Actions and objectives outside of the duel cannot be continued or completed after the duel starts. The player of the model that became Incapacitated or Dead loses the duel, while the player of the surviving model wins the duel. The winner of the game, however, is not necessarily the player that won the duel. If both models become Incapacitated or Dead (States) during the same Activation Sequence, the duel ends in a draw. The player that won the duel receives 6 Victory Points. If the duel ends with a draw, the quest ends and both sides receive 3 Victory Points, not exceeding the maximum amount of Victory Points available in the Quest (calculate point sum in “Rewards”, which are defined in each Quest). player that amassed the most Victory Points, including those amassed during the play-through to the point of the Duel. Hint: Stratagems can be used during a duel.
