The Godtear Rules FAQ

Updated: Sep 6, 2021




This is copied and pasted from the Godtear Discord FAQ, lovingly authored by the excellent @Taylorcowbell.


If you are not on the Godtear Discord, consider joining! Either way, you deserve access to this FAQ. The answers all come from SFG staff in response to questions from players.


FAQ

Q: What do warband tokens do?

A: The turn token may not move past (or enter the same hex as) the warband tokens


Q: Can you score a banner that is not on an objective hex?

A: No, only banners on objective hexes at the end of the round can score


Q: How do follower activations work?

A: For advance actions all followers may move, one at a time, independently. They can move as a group, split up, regroup as desired. For skills you choose 1 follower in the unit to make the skill. That follower may gain bonuses to the skill depending on the number of other followers in it's hex.


Q: How do maelstroms bonus steps work?

A: Maelstroms get an extra step for each follower they destroy. Retchlings are worth one when destroyed by a maelstrom


Q: Can you use rally if your champion isn't Knocked Out?

A: No, Rally can only be used by a champion who is Knocked Out.


Q: Can you use recruit if followers are at full strength?

A: No, only follower groups missing a follower may recruit.


Q: If I have a skill that has multiple targets, how does a boon work?

A: The boon only effects the first roll of a skill. So Blackjaw using fiery axe with a +Accuracy boon only gets the extra accuracy on the first target in the hex, not all 3 followers.


Q: Can I push an enemy model into their own banner to crush it?

A: No, only models from the opposing warband can enter a hex with a banner and crush them.


Q: If someone has a +speed boon and is adjacent to one of Mourneblade's Knightshades, does the boon let them move 1?

A: No, it is 0 during the advance regardless of boons or blights.


Q: Can I place a second banner with Rhodri's ultimate?

A: You can't have two banners down at once. There is only one banner model and each champion only has one banner.


Q: Can you move Rhodri's Banner with his ultimate? A: Yes.


Q: Do nested actions (Titus' actions inside his ultimate, Mourneblade's claim in Grave Summons) count towards the 1 action per activation rule?

A: Yes.


Q: Can I use tsunami to push my opponents banners off objective hexes?

A: Banners can’t be placed outside of or moved off of objective hexes. (exception being Rhodri planting on cursed ground)


Q: Can Froglodytes crush banners ?

A: No. Their rule only allows them to enter empty objective hexes. It does not say they can crush enemy banners.


Q: How does Maxen's Shrapnel Shot resolve damage, since they are farther away after the push?

A: If you move your target using the Hit Effect the damage is lowered. This is due to Hit Effects being resolved before damage.


Q: Can Raith tsunami in his current hex?

A: Yes models can be placed 0 hexes from their location


Q: Do followers gain the benefits of Class abilities (Maelstrom followers getting extra steps for knocking out followers etc.)

A: No, only champions receive class bonuses


Q: Can a model which does not start adjacent to a Knightshade continue to move through a hex which is adjacent to a Knightshade?

A: Yes, the advance action was made/begun before being adjacent to Knightshades, you have to be adjacent when you begin your advance to be effected.


Q: Does the Retchlings repeating a skill use both of their actions for the activation?

A: Yes, Retchlings repeating a skill allows them to get around the "only use each skill once per activation rule" but each use of the skill still counts as taking an action.


Q: When Rhodri is adjacent to a banner and knocked out, is he pushed the two hexes?

A: Awaiting official response


Q: If Luella has a speed blight, does her trait still let her move 1 hex?

A: Yes. Gaining +1 speed doesn’t have any conditions except Luella making an advance action


Q: If Rhodri is on an objective hex, and next to a banner, if an ability moves an objective hex and models on the objective hex move with it, does Rhodri move?

A: No the objective hex will move without Rhodri(. \
