Q. If a model uses an effect such as Harness Chi to increase its duel total, does that modifier also get added to its final duel total? If the model had a lower flipped duel total but uses Harness Chi to increase its current duel total above the opposing model’s duel total, would it now Cheat Fate second?
A. Yes. Modifiers that affect a model’s duel total continue to affect its final duel total (unless otherwise stated) but are not added an additional time when calculating a model’s final duel total. If a modifier is applied before any model in a duel Cheats Fate, this may affect who Cheats Fate first.
Q. If during Step 1 of a model’s Activation (pg. 21 - resolving Start of Activation effects) if it would be affected by a new Start of Activation effect (such as by moving into another friendly model’s Healing Draughts’ ) does it resolve the new effect?
A. No. Effects that resolve when a model Activates in Step 1 (such as On the Move, Life Leech, Goad Witchling, etc.) are generated at the start of Step 1 before resolving any effects. If a model would generate another effect that would normally resolve during this step, the effect is not generated.
