Agree! Great job. Had one question regarding the FAQ, the clarification regarding Attack Vs Defense and Casting Vs Resist. The FAQ says that an attack is limited to the strike action and the casting flip for a resistible spell is cast vs resist.

Is this in fact an errata to Pg. 18 of the Rules Manual where it defines an attack as:

Attacks with the Melee Icon or Ranged Icon.
Spells with a Melee or Range Icon in their Rg.
Spells that Require a Resist duel.
Strikes with Melee or ranged Weapons.
Actions that inflict dmg or wd on another model, or require an opposed duel.

Does that mean according to the FAQ that if Molly can affect Leveticus with Terrible Secret that his spells will not suffer the -2 twist on Attacks, since the FAQ says an attack is only related to strikes.

Another example, as the FAQ states that spells that do not have a ranged icon are only Casting flips and not an attack filp, can Lilith now target herself with Transposition?

Thank you for the FAQ overall very impressed, and look forward to your response.

Glad you like it so far!

Here's the breakdown:

• Any Strike or Spell that requires a Resist Duel is an attack (little "a"). A Spell with the ranged icon is a ranged attack Spell.
• Attack Flip and Defense Flip (capitalized) are specific types of flips in Strikes only.
• Casting Flip and Resist Flip (capitalized) are specific types of flips in Spells only.

So yes, Molly can affect Leviticus with Terrible Secret, however he would only receive the penalty when attacking with or being attacked by a Strike. It would have no effect on Spells he was casting or were cast on him.

No, Lilith cannot target herself with Transposition because it is an attack (Spell with a Resist) that requires a Casting Flip and Resist Flip, not an Attack Flip and Defense Flip.

Love it especially the clear pictures and careful explanations on the clarifications page. This will be very help as we bring more people into the wonderful world of malifaux. I very much like the shikome and Stitched Changes. The Faq very solid and cleared up some points that we had argued in the past.

I love the simplicity of poison not giving credit to anyone for a kill. Very simple elegant and how my group has been playing it.

Great Stuff!

Thank you guys!

Thanks Keltheos, I guess I'm still confused. Terrible Secret gives a negative two twist on all Attack and Defense Flips. A spell which allows a Resist is an Attack, as evidenced by Lilith being unable to Transposition herself. Could you please clarify what the difference is? Thank you.

Once again very great addition from the Wyrd Staff, was very easy to read, and this is the only bit that has me confused. Great Job.

Attack and Defense Flips (note the caps) only occur in Strikes. Plain old attacks (never capitalized) are that list stated above.

You're mixing Attack Flip with an 'attack'. Which I admit can be a little bit confusing. ;)
