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.
Q. If Dr. Watson ends his Activation, then uses Heat of Battle to take the Assist Action and gain Fast from Quick Cure, does that Fast end then and there or would it last until the end of his next Activation? What if Dr. Watson already had Fast on him before ending his Activation?
A. In this case, the Fast would not last until his next Activation. Fast would immediately end, even if Dr. Watson ended his Activation with Fast and chose to end that Fast before resolving Heat of Battle.
