Rules Exploitation ~ Collateral Damage not an attack

Not really an exploit, but an interesting little section of grey area. Collateral damage (off the cuff models hit by a slammed or thrown model). This little rule interaction totally gets you around abilities that trigger off of enemy attack or enemy damage rolls.

This has the kind of bizarre side effect of allowing you to do things like:


  • Throw/Slam grim salvation targets into Madrak, keeping him from shunting the damage onto another target.
  • Prevent Brine from going all pigheaded by killing Rorsh or finishing off Brine with a throw/slammed model going into him.
  • Get around things with relentless advance, sanguine bond, holy monolith, and possibly impervious wall... generally things Menoth likes.
Long story short, only the initial target (the model thrown or slammed) is attacked, all the other models just take a damage roll.

Wonky.
