N18 Cult Icons activation - specifically Corpse Grinder Cults

[thanejaw]

hey there friends - got a quick question about Cult Icons and specifically the Corpse Grinder Cult "Enrage".

Rules for Enrage are as follow:

Enrage: All friendly fighters that are completely within 6" of this fighter that have a Ready marker, and that are Standing and Active, add D3" to their Move characteristic until the End phase of this round.

Does this mean the carrier of the Icon also gets D3" movement (it's a friendly fighter completely within 6")? My view (biased of course) is that it should - anyone able to argue strongly that it doesn't?

The fighter is friendly with themself, is completely within 6" of themself, is Standing and Active (otherwise they wouldn't be able to use the action) and still has a Ready marker (you only remove it at the end of their activation) so yeah, it works.
In the general case, you'll only have one action left to benefit from the Movement boost though, as Enrage is a Simple action. So you can't Enrage and then Charge with the same fighter.

Worth noting that there's a Corpse Grinder specific tactics card that allows Charge as a Basic action, on top of things like Adrenaline Surge allowing extra actions to charge with.

That's terrifying!
