A few rules questions

[TEW]

Bonjour!

I have just started playing EDEN and there are a few questions, which I could not answer so far.

Hopefully, you can help me with those.


1) I am playing The Resistance. Many of my fighters have special
abilities that are powered by the energy drawn from their batteries.

When a special ability has a cost of (1BU, 1/round), i.e. Courtney's
Powerful discharge, is it correct that it does not cost any AP?

So, Courtney can use her Powerful discharge and still take 3 Move
Actions, or a second Attack and 2 Move Actions?


2) Jimmy has the special ability Energetic boost, which allows him to
keep one incapacitated Robot fighter in the game for the remainder of
the phase.

Jimmy also has the special ability Handyman, which allows him to heal a
Robot fighter.

What happens, when he uses Energetic boost and later Handyman to heal
the incapacitated Robot fighter giving back the last CP of the limb that
was taken out before.

Will the Robot fighter still be removed at the end of the phase, or can
it continue the fight in this case?


3) Kate's weapon is Explosive (0) by default, so effectively, she can
only attack with it, when she uses her special abilities, correct?


4) What is the size of the template used for Explosive (X)?

Kate's weapon uses this template, but I couldn't find it anywhere.


5) Same question as 4) for Freedom's template.


6) Same question as 4) for Benedict's template.


Thank you very much!

Well I'm trying to help you

1) No, those attacks count as regular attacks, so every attack made that way costs 1 AP

2) Robots can continue the fight

3)Yes, either AMMO-X or the other one beneath it. Either way you need to pay 1 AP for a range attack and AMMO-X costs the same. Why shooting with the normal profile? ^^

4-6) Every explosion template in the gane has the same size. If you dont have one, I recommend to download the Joker starter file
http://www.taban-miniatures.com/eden-downloads.html
it has all templates in it.

Good questions and good answers! I agree with Kamaro

On 1), note that if the attack didn't cost AP, it would be called "free" as with Kate (see here, for example).

On 4-6, I got Freedom's template with the Resistance starter (it's conical) but indeed for Kate you need the Jokers starter files. However, a further complication is that it is accidentally missing from the English version of the download, so get the French one: http://www.taban-miniatures.com/docs/dow...ter-fr.zip

Thank's a lot!

Doesn't it cost 2 AP to use AMMO-X and then attack with the weapon?

My card says for AMMO-X only that it loads the weapon for the next shooting attack, but does not say anything about actually making that attack, so I assumed, that you have to take another action to actually shoot.

Furthermore it is 1/round, so a "regular" shooting attack would still be useful, but she does not seem to have one.
