I’m hoping someone can help me with some questions that have regularly come up in our games.
So am i right in thinking that anyone/anything can look at a searchable marker regardless of the icons they have on their unit card (lockpick, magnifying glass, computer), but they can only use an action to interact if they do have the relevant icon (lockpick icon needs Lockpick skill etc).
If the marker has a spanner on it, the model can pickup the item without any kind of skill check.
A dog cannot perform a Search skill test unless they are controlled by a ‘dog handler’, as per the dog handler rule on page 51.
Any model can pass a Limited Use Item (single use) they have picked up to another model, as long as they are within yellow of them (pg 32, and updated range in the faq).
Anything other than a Limited User Item cannot be passed to another model. So you can’t pickup a laser rifle you found, move towards other models, and hand it off to them. (pg 31).
So we were playing the 4th training game last night, and a Settler carrying the key he found got killed causing the key to drop. The only survivor model close was Dogmeat. Does this mean Dogmeat couldn’t pickup the key, run across the board to the Settler near the safe, and pass it to them?
Can a model choose to drop an item they are carrying, allowing another model to pick it up? I have seen on pg 31 examples that if you search a marker and don’t want to pick it up, you can leave it for another model to pick it up, but obviously they haven’t actually picked it up in the first place.
If you start the game with a Limited Use Item on a unit card, then anyone in that unit has access to it regardless of the distance between them. They can also share it with anyone within yellow of any one of the models in the unit. If a model in a unit picks up a Limited Use Item from a Searchable Marker, can that also be used by any model in the unit regardless of distance between them?
Sorry for the wall of questions, but these seem to come up often when i’m playing. The main crux seems to be passing items between models, and dogs picking up items.
Any help is as always greatfully received
