(At least I think that's what randomly scattered prior answers have been....) As far as I understand, if the boss is reduced below 0 timeout still happens, you just round up to half health and timeout as normal...no? Cheers J

(At least I think that's what randomly scattered prior answers have been....) I'm not sure where it was said, but the timeout does only happen once per game. And the zero life rule is in the timeout description of the rulebook: "Heal the boss to half of its starting health, rounded down. This occurs even if the the boss’s health was reduced to zero."

Could be wrong of course.... Either way, both of these items are rather critical points and should be in one of the official documents!

Until von Drakk came along, Bosses didn't have a way to heal themselves so they probably didn't think it needed to be said, but the wording should probably change from: Quote: Immediately after the dungeon boss has a number of wound counters equal to or greater than half of the hearts on their card, a timeout is triggered. to Quote: Immediately after the first time the dungeon boss has a number of wound counters equal to or greater than half of the hearts on their card, a timeout is triggered. On different note, I'm disappointed with the Burrow question. The debate wasn't about whether or not it was a move but with how to measure the distance between squares.

It would be nice to specify on both page 14 & 29.

I agree, both would be good.

Wait, where was it changed (or more specifically, where was it even mentioned in the 1.5 rules) that the Boss isn't killed outright and there is no Timeout Effect when reduced below 0?

Well it needn't be stated separately because a health of 0 or below 0 is included in half the original health or below, so it triggers the timeout no matter what... Edit: Oops, just read what Deke wrote. However, I still think, my approach is more logical...  Edit 2: OK, now I got it, no further reasoning required - I guess it pays to read thouroughly BEFORE posting...

Chibi-noki is quoting page 29 from the 1.5 rule book, which came after, and there for supersedes, Deke's earlier unofficial clarification.

Carefully reading the new page 29, the logical interpretation would be that a timeout does occur if the Boss is reduced to less than 0. But the nuance is a subtle change, although only likely to be unclear to those of us who had stumbled upon and remembered Deke's earlier (and not visibly logical) answer. Others who had not come across that earlier ruling will probably not suffer any confusion.

Well yes, but you could at least in theory overkill a model with massive damage or coup de grace...

Really glad to see the 1.6 version of this. This did answer some of the tougher questions for some of my game plays. Thanks a bunch on this one.

Greetings,
I have looked through the 1.6 FAQ/Errata, and I seem to be unable to find the changes to Smoke.
Where can I find the details of these changes?
Thanks

I'm wondering if there is a pdf of the new rulebook in a format suitable for printing on a normal, black-and-white, office printer and A4 paper?
Having the rules printed would help greatly, but I don't really have access to any printer that could print that pdf in a readable form.

Sorry guys, having so many issues finding the rules answers around the net. Since a slopoke has no dice to roll, does that mean the second part of turtle is useless? Since he can't roll any dice then he can't go into shell form when being attacked for free.
But if he can whats the point of the bombadier's shell shock since they won't need it, but if that's the case then why even include the bit of turtle if they can't make any rolls to begin with.
