Everything I've heard about Malifaux 2 makes me excited about it. I'm on a hiatus due to playing with the baby every spare moment, but I think I'm going to start painting again and I'll clear my...

It is exactly opposite to what you suspect. The greater the complexity, the harder it is for the player to connect with narrative, because mechanics get in the way. This is a common problem with most...

A spell can have multiple targets, sure. The thing is, that every of these targets is still a target, which means it is being targeted. As simple as that. So you cannot say the spell has no targets...

Movement effects would be a common cause of this, I'd say. Especially when the spell targets multiple models and movement of one blocks the way for another. I had it at least once happen with...

That'd be a house rule though. The thing is that the original Swarm was not only replaced by summoned models, but also sacrificed beforehand, and a sacrifice is a game effect just like kill. To...

I think you should consider a deck a supply rather than an investment. All the decks, Malifaux or not, wear and become unusable. Plastic decks are just a bit more sturdy.

Also I'd have a problem...

I think we've been through this confusion before. Knowing the action can't succeed beforehand and action not succeeding due to normal game mechanics (random factors, resists etc.) is not the same...

Popped up in my newsfeed yesterday and since it's quite impressive, I thought I'd share:

Spells are difficult... they can fail at different stages.

If you fail when you find out the target isn't legal (and spell has to have a target with very few exceptions), you pay only AP.

If...

This is entirely false. You take it out of context. The structures of the sentences are different, how they open does not determine what they mean. The former two spells go directly into describing...

I'd go one step further and say from the uniforms to the general brutality theme, they seem like the stereotypical spanish colonial army from the Zorro stories (which probably goes back all the way...

Those "delayed" effects are called "ongoing effects" and their rules are defined in the Manual (as well as immediate effects).

The thing is that failure of an effect is not necessarily tied to its...

I'm pretty sure we had a clarification from the Marshals to that effect, when the issue first appeared with Coryphée and Alpha (using dance apart to sacrifice the duet is not possible, because even...

I do it all the time.

Hmm, I felt there's something wrong with my line of thinking as I was writing it. Didn't occur to me to check the rules for specific APs, since the wording of the rule seems clear enough.

Indeed,...

I think it falls under the difference between "a cast" and "a cast action".

That is to say, because Seductive refers to casting, it covers every kind of Ability or Action which generates "a cast"....

No, Casting Expert is a bit different.

You are not limited by the number in brackets. You are limited by the name of the Action you can use the AP on.

Melee expert -> only for Strike Action :...

For what it's worth, they are different Spells. Actions and Spells are actually defined categories in game, so you cannot mix them freely.

Cast and Channel are general magic Actions allowing any...

And shouldn't it stay that way? I mean, sure, he could use some help in areas which are very important for achieving success in Malifaux, which might have not been so obvious back when he had been...

That isn't my experience at all. Granted, I'm in very comfortable situation in that I don't face non-living crews very often (and when I do, they are constructs, so mostly in mixed crews)....

There's very little original fluff about Nicodem. In the Book 2 stories he already has an army of Undead and only uses his skills to raise some Punk Zombies and buff them... I don't remember, perhaps...

I'd have no qualms with an openly wishlist post. No need to read it if you don't care either. But this is being discussed under the guise of improvement and re-balancing masters and on the top of...

Nicodem's game does not revolve around summoning at all. This is the problem with evaluations like this - you have to base them on the correct premises first and foremost.

Yes, Nicodem's summon is...

You can. Every model is within x" of itself and has LoS to itself (though Twisted Thoughts are an action and do not require LoS at all, IIRC; It would be relevant for a Spell though).

You cannot...

I haven't got Tapatalk yet, as there are very few forums I do visit regularly. If Malifaux forums supported it I'd probably install it immediately.

And sorry for the necro, but this is still an...
