SST questions... Talents

[Xintao]

Ego War from the Rule Book states.
“…renders all models in the LZ incapable of making reactions or actions for the rest of the player turn.”
-If you hit a model with Ego War when are the effects over?
Example, Turn one, Bug player going 2nd, Brain Ego Wars a Cap Squad. When do the effects wear off? End of bug players current turn? End of MI’s players next turn?

Shield
If a shield is knocked down, can it be put up again?


Thanks in advance, Xin

Ok, heres you're anwers (Until someone tells me Im completly wrong )

1) Egowar lasts until the end of the players turn it was fired in.
So, you fire it as a reaction, it lasts until the end of the MI's turn, fire it in your turn it lasts till the end of your turn.
(I'm pretty sure that they changed the wording of this spell (Sorry, bad joke) in the arachnid book, so that it only affects reactions, and hence is only worth casting durring your turn.)
2) Shield is a One Shot, and so you may not place it back up once its been deployed.

Hope that helps 8)

Ego War can't be fired as a reaction because it's internal.

Thanks for the response.

The Arachnid Army book has the same vague wording. "no Action or reaction for the rest of the current players turn." Since they added "current" player's turn it's pretty clear when that ends. However they still use "action" and the only way to stop an action is if Ego War was used as a reaction.

So I guess that is the question now, can Talents be used as reactions?

As for the Rulesmasters forum, that seems a little light on official posting from what I've seen.


Cheers, Xin

They can.
E.g. using Id Sending is a shooting action so it can be sued in reaction (shoot).
Ego War is internal so can't be used. Same for all those ready talents because bugs can't ready as a reaction.
