Expansions' Rules
Official rules sheet titled "Expansions' Rules", reproduced in full as printed. Where it differs from the base rulebook, this sheet applies. Its entries are States, with the Controller and Minion rules at the end.
Dazzled
Targets affected by this State cannot draw Line of Sight beyond the 0-1 Range.
Poisoned
WARNING! This rule replaces the one in the Reference Guide.
Targets affected by this State suffer 1 Damage when the blue side of the State token is revealed.
- Remove the Poisoned State token immediately after showing its blue side.
- Unlike other States, Characters can suffer more than one instance of Poisoned at the same time, gaining one Poisoned token for each such instance.
Immobilized
Targets affected by this State cannot spend Movement Points.
Taunted
Characters affected by this State can only choose the Character that provoked it as the target for their Attacks.
Stunned
Targets affected by this State must Nullify a Success before the Switches step of each of their Rolls.
Remember: The Critical Success symbol is not affected by this State, as it's not a Success.
Focused
Targets affected by this State may remove this State before making a Roll to add a Yellow die to that Roll.
Smoke
Smoke tokens affect the visibility in the HexaDome, blocking the Line of Sight but not movement.
- All spaces, even Free Spaces, with a Smoke token block Line of Sight.
- Targets inside a space with a Smoke token cannot draw Line of Sight beyond Range 0-1, or use their Defense Rolls' Successes to inflict Damage to Attackers outside Range 1-1.
- Every Line of Sight to a space with a Smoke token is blocked.
- Free Spaces with a Smoke token don't provide Cover.
- Characters always have a Clear Line of Sight to an Adjacent Target, ignoring Smoke rules.
- Remove Smoke tokens at the beginning of the deploying Character's next Activation. If the Character is in the Infirmary, remove the Smoke tokens when that Activation would have taken place.
- The maximum quantity of Smoke tokens provided with the Character determine the maximum quantity of Smoke tokens they can deploy at the same time. Once a Character has deployed all their Smoke tokens, they cannot deploy more Smoke tokens until some of their Smoke tokens have been removed from the Hexadome.
Burning
Targets affected by this State suffer a random quantity of Damage when the blue side of this State token is revealed.
When one or more Burning State tokens are flipped blue-side up, roll one die for each flipped token:
- For each Success: The Character suffers 1 Damage.
- For each Special: Impose a new Burning State token to the Character.
- Remove the Burning State token immediately after showing its blue side.
- Unlike other States, Characters can suffer more than one instance of Burning at the same time, gaining one Burning token for each such instance.
- No Character makes this roll and, because of that, players cannot modify it by playing Tactics, or activating Switches. Also, as it's not a Roll, the limitation of three dice per color doesn't apply.
Marked
Targets affected by this State may be targeted even with no Line of Sight.
- Targets affected by this State cannot Benefit from Cover.
Remember: Defenders with no Line of Sight to the Attacker cannot use their Defense Roll's Successes to cause Damage.
Hidden
You cannot have a Line of Sight to Targets affected by this State, except within Range 1-1.
- Targets affected by this State cannot benefit from Cover.
- Remove this State token immediately after performing an Attack, after the end of the Action.
- Neither Enemies nor Allies can have Line of Sight to this Target.
- Targets affected by this State still block Line of Sight.
Remember: Defenders with no Line of Sight to the Attacker cannot use their Defense Successes to cause Damage.
Silenced
The Player who imposes this State must choose one Action (except Move or any Attack) or one Automatic Skill of the Target. While affected by this State, the Target cannot perform or apply the Effects of the chosen Action or Automatic Skill.
- This State does not affect Attacks or the Move Action.
Controller
Controllers are the Characters who may deploy their Minions in the HexaDome.
- The Controller can only deploy their Minions on Free Spaces.
- The Controller cannot deploy their Minions Adjacent to any Allied Minions.
- The Controller can remove one of their Minions from the HexaDome at any time during their Actions Step for no Action Points cost, and within any Range.
- If the Controller is placed in the Infirmary, all their Minions must be removed from the HexaDome immediately.
- The Controller may activate their Minions to perform one of the Actions on the Minion's Card.
- The Controller cannot have more Minions deployed than are listed on their Card.
Minion
Minions are a special type of Obstacle controlled by the Character who deployed them, called a Controller.
- Minions may perform Actions when activated by their Controller. When performing any of these Actions, the active Player may play Tactics, and activate the Switches on the Minion card. A Controller cannot activate one of their own Switches from an Action Roll of their Minion, or vice-versa.
- Minions can be affected by States and can suffer Damage, and are removed from the HexaDome when they have suffered as much Damage as their Hit Points.
- Minions cannot benefit from Cover.
- During the Controller's States Step, all blue-side up State tokens on their Minions cards are removed, and then all red-side up State tokens are flipped.
- Minions may have Attributes -like a Character- that let them make Face to Face Rolls if their Controller wants. In example, if the Minion has the Brawn Attribute it can force a Disengage Roll; if the Minion has the Defense Attribute it may Roll for Defense when it is the Target of an Attack.
- Minions are part of the team of the Controller and so they are considered Allies, though they are not Characters.
- Enemy Characters' Minions are considered Enemies for all purposes, though they are not Characters.
- Minions that have been removed from the HexaDome are placed to the side, ready to be deployed again.
