Comprehensive Rules
600 Targeting and Focus
Who an ability can select, and how the roll is weighted.
600.1Legal targets
- 600.1aA unit can be selected only if it is alive, not Entrapped, not Dormant, and not an untargetable object.
- 600.1bTools and Hubs are untargetable objects. They never soak a projectile, a splash, or a chain hop.
- 600.1cA dead boss cannot be selected even before its removal is processed.
- 600.1dSome effects may pierce Entrap, and some may explicitly allow a dead target. Both are opt-in per effect.
600.2Focus weighting
- 600.2aFocus-weighted selection rolls against the total effective Focus of the candidate pool.
- 600.2bEffective Focus is the unit's Focus, floored at 1. There is no threshold and no bonus step: the weight rises smoothly with the stat.
- 600.2cA candidate's share of the roll is its effective Focus divided by the pool's total, so twice the Focus is twice as often picked.
- 600.2dThe floor means a unit at 0 Focus is still a legal pick, just the rarest one in the pool.
- 600.2eA multi-pick selection makes one Focus-weighted roll per pick and never picks the same unit twice.
600.3The primary target
- 600.3aThe primary target is chosen once per activation and cached for the whole activation.
- 600.3bRabid removes the previous target from the pool, unless that would empty it.
- 600.3cA Feral misfire replaces the cached target after selection, so the entire activation redirects.
- 600.3dEffects that fan out from the primary target — adjacent enemies, splinter targets — are resolved against the cached target, not re-selected.
600.4Scopes
- 600.4aEffects declare a scope: the primary target, all enemies, Focus-weighted enemies, enemies adjacent to the target, self, all allies, adjacent allies, or Focus-weighted allies.
- 600.4bA scope that names a count fills it with Focus-weighted picks from the eligible pool, never picking the same unit twice.
- 600.4cA scope filtered by a required status — for example Maimed enemies — filters before selection, so the count is filled from qualifying units only.
- 600.4dAllied scopes use the ally-eligibility gate, which excludes Tools and Hubs. Effects that target Tools use their own explicit adjacency instead.
