Area effect spells and scare

[mooseyjoe]

today i was told that any model whitch survives an area effect spell (firestorm and the like) is automatically shaken. Then i was told that If it is shaken again (by using scare or a similar type situation) the model will automatically retreat.

 

Problem is I couldn't find the part about firestorm/ball leaving you shaken in the "wonderfully organized" rulebook.

 

If you know where it is please point me to a page number.

 

If you know that this is incorrect then please try and exlain what may have caused this confusion.

 

If you think I am detriment to the Human gene-pool please be nice when you say so.

 

And finally if you are happy and you know it clap your hands

You can't find it in the rulebook because it's not there . If you're the victim of the AoE spell Scare then yes, you get Shaken, but not for surviving AoE damage spells.

You do have to make a check on your discipline if you survive an AoE attack from your own side however... That might be what was being referred to.

Yep - surviving friendly fire is what shakes you.

 

Note: it was also later clarified that an AoE that cannot effect you (Holy Light vs a non-Undead, for example) would not shake you.
