Model Advantages and Abilities

Tough	When this model is disabled, roll a d6. On a 5 or 6, remove 1 damage point from this model; it is no longer disabled and becomes knocked down. While knocked down, this model loses Tough.   Errata-Tough on 4-5-6 (2023-6-22) Question: If a feat or ability says when a model "makes a Tough roll of 4,5, or 6... that model can remove 1 damage point," does that mean the model gets to remove 1 damage point from that ability PLUS another damage point from the Tough ability? Answer: No, you only remove 1 damage point. Explanation: You will only heal one point of damage due to [Madrak's] feat Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck - PP Community forum
Dual Attack	This model can make melee and ranged attacks in the same activation. When this model makes its initial melee attacks, it can also make its initial ranged attacks. A model with Dual Attack can make its initial melee and ranged attacks in any order you choose. This model cannot make ranged attacks after making a power attack.   Errata-Dual Attack and Unit Charges (2023-10-27) Question: If a unit with Dual Attack charges a single model, are all placed in melee range, and the first model kills the charge target, can the remaining members of the unit make ranged attacks, or do they forfeit their Combat Action because they don't have any enemy models in their melee range? Answer: The check for melee range is done at the end of movement. If you kill the targets before they attack, they can still do their ranged attack. (Malkav13) Explanation: This post is correct. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Bulldog) - PP Community forum   Errata-Dual Attack and Special Attacks (2023-08-10) Question: Can a model with Dual Attack make any combination of ranged special attack and normal melee initial attacks, or its melee special attack and normal ranged initial attacks? (Example: Bison Both Barrels and Ram, or Mariner Thresher and gunshot). Answer: No. Explanation: The bison can not use dual attack and also make a special attack. That is correct in that (Thresher) example too. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Bulldog) - PP Community forum
Dodge	This model can advance up to two inches immediately after an enemy attack that missed it is resolved.   Errata-Dodge (2023-7-17) Question: So if a target model is missed by an AOE and dodges away, does it still take the blast damage roll if it is no longer in the range of the AOE weapon? Answer: Yes. Explanation: RNG doesn’t matter after the target has been checked to be within RNG. Infernal Ruling: Dark Legacy - PP Community forum   Errata-AOE Miss (2023-7-17) Question: When an AOE misses, does it trigger "on miss" actions? Answer: AOEs that miss will trigger “on miss” triggers. Explanation:  Infernal Ruling: Dark Legacy - PP Community forum
Gang Fighter	When making a melee attack targeting an enemy model in the melee range of another friendly Faction warrior model, this model gains +2 to melee attack and melee damage rolls. No errata for Gang Fighter (Create)

Pistol	A model making an attack with this weapon targeting a model it is in melee with ignores the Target in Melee bonus when resolving this attack.   Errata-Pistol (2023-09-17) Question: Does the pistol benefit apply to models not in melee with the attacking model when the pistol is on a spray? Answer: No, it only applies to models with which the attacking model is in melee. Explanation: The intent is that a model only ignore the penalty for being in melee with the models that model is in melee with. Pistol only works against the models in the melee with the attacking model. Infernal Ruling: Dark Legacy - PP Community forum
Special Attack	A model can make a special attack during its Combat Action if it meets the requirements for the special action or attack's use. Both Barrels - This model gains +4 to the damage roll for this attack. This model cannot make additional ranged attacks with this weapon during an activation in which it makes a Both Barrels attack.
