How does Behemoth's aiming work?
Quick answer
Behemoths don’t have explicit "aiming" mechanics. Their actions are resolved through contests against characters, using ability comparisons, or via Reaction cards from their deck.
Details
The rulebook does not define a specific "aiming" mechanic for Behemoths. Instead, their interactions are governed by:
-
Contests (p.42 — BEHEMOTHS):
When a character encounters a Behemoth, they resolve a contest by rolling 1d6 + their relevant ability. The result is compared to the Behemoth’s ability value:- Success: Character’s result > Behemoth’s ability.
- Stalemate: Result equal or within 4 points below.
- Defeat: Result 5+ points below.
-
Reaction Cards (p.43 — BEHEMOTHS):
Behemoths draw Reaction cards to determine their actions. These cards dictate behaviors (e.g., attacks, movements) that may implicitly involve targeting, but no explicit aiming rules are described. -
Target Tokens (p.42 — BEHEMOTHS):
The Instinct card may assign a target (e.g., a hex or character) using a Target token. Movement and actions are directed toward this target, but precision or aiming isn’t detailed.
Watch out:
If "aiming" refers to ranged attacks or precision-based actions, note that the provided excerpts do not specify such mechanics. Behemoth interactions focus on contests and scripted Reaction outcomes rather than directional or accuracy-based aiming.
