Attack of Opportunity

Язык / Language: English · Русский

Attack of Opportunity is an Attack declared as a Reaction (it is never used in the Active Role).

• When an activated enemy moves in a way the reactive player suspects brings it within their Weapon's Reach, the reactive model may declare a Reaction at that point of the movement and make an Attack of Opportunity. This can prevent the enemy escaping your Reach.
• It requires Line of Sight to the activated model. After declaring, the reacting model measures Reach: if the enemy is not within Reach, the Attack has no effect.
• It may be Melee or Ranged. Once declared, even if it fails, the model cannot switch to a different Reaction this Sequence.
• A Ranged Attack of Opportunity while the enemy moves toward the reactor that then declares a Melee Attack triggers a Confrontation.
• If the reactor declared Dodge or Perceive and has LoS to an enemy that Attacks while Shrouded or Flying, it may switch that declaration into an Attack right after the enemy's Action Step.
