myleftnut Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 So this came up tonight. Rules say change facing is like a dodge? So if I sneak up on you while you're turned around and hit you with a direct template weapon. ..you can dodge it at a minus -3 phys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 That is my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myleftnut Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Template weapons just got a whole lot less appealing. Unless carried by a very cheap model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 You only get the change facing when the model is within your ZoC. It's also phys -3, so most things will be failing 65+% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myleftnut Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 That's true. It never came up before but I was using units with small template weapons. I may just be bitter cuz I got my @$$ handed to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't Panic Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 first off, templates always give you a dodge or change facing option. -3 if outside lof (change facing). big reason for this ruling/changing in N3 is just how insanely powerful chain rifles were and guided missiles. they are still amazingly good just not stupid. but yea you always get a change facing if inside zoc or hit by a template outside lof. only time you dont get a reaction is if outside of lof, zoc and NOT a template. i say this for weapon purpose only fwiw(not talking about stealth which can negate zoc option unless they do an action besides move). imo i think its still very powerful. change facing, as exile stated, is still an unlikely situation as most things fail. i think its a choice more than anything as it makes doing a chain rifle not an auto-do but more pending if you can get ~3 dudes in it as 2 will probably fail which would be worthwhile. otherwise pop um in the back with a regular gun outside 8 and no reaction... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
