Metabolic Overdrive (Again!)

[paulh1]

Hi all, just a query on the recently FAQ'd Metabolic Overdrive rule. Is it me or does the Errata still differ totall from the Designer's Commentary? Do people now use one normal move followed only by a normal move (as the Errata states) or use it as stated in the Commentary (allowing advances and charges and do so forth?) It seemed to have been clarified but with the Errata being released and the entry being highlighted Im back to being confused! Also do people roll the dice to see if they have the mortal wound before they move or after? It seems to have a hundred and one different interpretations! Game winner though! Thanks everyone!

...I've got no idea what you're talking about.

If you look at the August 2019 Designers Commemtary for Kill Team it tells you the rules for Metabolic Overdrive. It says you can do a combination of Advance, Charge, normal moves and so and so on and so on. If you then go the Kill Team Errata, also from August 2019, it says you can do a normal move followed by a normal move (which I interpret as a basic move, not a charge, advance and so on). As both were released at the same time and seem to indicate different interpretations of the same thing, I was asking for clarification on how to use Metabolic Overdrive rule.

Need to specify which system you're talking about in the OP. Metabolic Overdrive is also a stratagem in regular 40k. There was no way to know which you were referring to.

My apologies. I was not aware of that. I'm referring to Kill Team.

I cant help you much, I am not familiar enough with KT to comment on it w/o book in hand.

[paulh1]

No problem at all. Thanks anyhow, all the best.

I haven't played kill team since the faq, and I don't have the book in front of me. But, you used to be able to charge after a move, then roll the dice after you move. The magenta text means it's new text, so it doesn't look like your are able to charge after a move now.

Hi, that's great thank you. Yes that seems to be the consensus unfortunately! Many thanks, much appreciate the reply.
