FAQs
N5 FAQ
Version: 0.0.0, Oct 2025
Q: Do Skills that let you perform a 'BS Attack Roll' (for example Intuitive Attack and Speculative Attack), or have the BS Attack Label, count as a BS Attack for MODs? For example, if the Trooper has 'BS Attack (SR-1)', 'BS Attack (+1 SD), or 'BS Attack (AP)'.
A: Yes. Note that +1 SD MODs don't apply to Long Skills.
