    Default Terror check - twice in a turn

    Hello,

    Terrifying Entity rules always manage to confuse me.
    In the following scenario:
    A unit of bloodtrackers are in melee with a unit of Idrians.
    Carvolo gives Drige of Mists to the Idrians, granting them terror.
    Bloodtrackers roll fear check. (No doubt here).
    Now, Thyra pops feat.
    Beginning of Idrians activation, all of them disengage from the Bloodtrackers.
    Idrians move into melee with Bloodtrackers. Do the bloodtrackers have to roll again?

    From some reason, during the game I was sure they should have (Might be mk1 rules in my head). But now I'm almost positive they should not.

    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    One of the funny parts to me is reading back-to-back reports on a given model about how broken it is and then about how it's not worth anywhere near its cost.

    No, they wouldn't test again. On Page 85, the top of the paragraph below the Asphixious example it specifically states that a model/unit will only take a one test per turn from a single terror-causing entity due to proximity. The exception in that the model/units can separate and re-engage specifies later turns, not the same turn.

    thanks.
    I felt that was weird.

    Is there any way a model/unit will roll more than one fear check from a single model/unit in the same turn?
    I recall things about gaining terror from different sources.
    Maybe having terror, and then gaining abomination?

    If it's never, it's very simple to remember. So I hope it is.

    Answer is incorrect.

    "A single terrifying entity can cause a model or unit to make only one command check per turn due to proximity. Additionally, a model or unit that passes a command check caused by its proximity to a terrifying entity does
    not make further command checks as a result of proximity to the entity if it remains inside the range that triggered the effect. If these models become separated and encounter each other during a later turn, another command check will be required."


    Later turn refers to the turn the encounter happened. If you break the encounter and re-encounter during the same turn, you will make a new check if you didn't make one during this turn.

    And the intent is that a Terrifying Entity can only make you test once per turn no matter how many times it gains or regains Terror.

    thanks Macallan for the reply.
    However, you seem to misinterpret the situation I described.
    The Idrians gained terror on my turn, causing a fear check.
    Later during the same turn, they disengaged using thyra's feat, and reengaged during the same turn.

    So Lanz's answer was correct, but your elaboration answers my second question. Thanks.

    Ah yes, true. I misread the question. I thought that the original test was from an earlier turn. Lanz is right.
