<td>* Black Spot only triggers from <i>basic</i> attacks. Power Attacks, (★ Attack)s, and Chain Attacks will not trigger it.
<ul><li> If you destroy multiple models in an attack (such as with a spray or AOE) you only get one free attack, due to the "destroyed one <i>or more</i>" wording.</li>
<li> In a CRA, only the attack leader is actually making an attack, so only he will gain a free attack from Black Spot and all the other participants gain nothing.
<ul><li> The free attack he gains is a normal attack, not a free CRA (although he can use the free attack as part of a whole new CRA with different participants, if you want.)</li></ul></li></ul>
<ul><li> <u>The <b>type</b> of attack that is generated by Black Spot</u>
<ul><li> The wording of <i>"make one additional melee <b>or</b> ranged attack"</i> is a bit unclear on what the intent is, but the <b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?256305-What-is-the-MKIII-Ruling-on-Black-Spot-and-Reaper-Malice-Drags&p=3850223&viewfull=1#post3850223" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b> is:<br/>Essentially, Black Spot doesn't <i>impose</i> any restrictions on the type of attack you make ... but neither does it <i>lift</i> any restrictions you already have.</li>
<li> Thus a model can be in one of these cases:
<ol><li> If you have a special rule that lets you make <i>both ranged and melee attacks in the same activation, <u>and</u> as many as you like</i> (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Dual_Attack" title="Dual Attack">Dual Attack</a>) then any Black Spot attacks you get can be either ranged or melee, your choice.</li>
<li> If you don't have a special rule allowing unlimited amounts of both, then any Black Spot attacks you generate have to be the same type as what you started with. </li>
<li> Special cases:
<ul><li> Abilities that let you make a <b>single</b> attack of the opposite type to your normal attacks (eg <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Kill_Shot" title="Kill Shot">Kill Shot</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Quick_Work" title="Quick Work">Quick Work</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Assault" title="Assault">Assault</a>, etc). <br/>Because they only allow 1 opposite attack, these abilities count as case #2.<br/>For example, you make an initial melee attack, trigger Kill Shot, and get a free ranged attack. This ranged attack then kills a Black Spotted model and you get another free attack. The Black Spot free attack has to be another melee attack.</li>
<li> Abilities that let you make unlimited attacks of the opposite type (eg <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Drag" title="Drag">Drag</a>). If you successfully trigger Drag, it counts as case #1. If you're unsuccessful, it's case #2.</li>
<li> <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Gunfighter" title="Gunfighter">Gunfighter</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Point_Blank" title="Point Blank">Point Blank</a> are case #2.</li></ul></li></ol></li></ul></li></ul>
<ul><li> <u><a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Black_Spot" title="Black Spot">Black Spot</a> plus <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Drag" title="Drag">Drag</a> - Infinite Attack combo</u> (<a class="external text" href="../index70f2.html?title=Template:RC_Black_Spot_Drag&action=edit" rel="nofollow">Edit</a>)</li></ul>
<dl><dd> This combo can lead to an infinite number of attacks, but it depends on your dice.
<ul><li> Case A (Fail): Make initial ranged attack, <b>destroy</b> the target with the ranged attack. </li></ul>
<dl><dd> Drag does not trigger.</dd>
<dd> Black Spot does trigger, and the free BS attack <i>must</i> be a ranged attack because you don't have any rule that gets around the core rule <i>"models cannot make both ranged and melee attacks during the same activation"</i> (unless you have Dual Attack).</dd>
<dd> The free BS attack cannot generate any more free BS attacks.</dd></dl>
<ul><li> Case B (Success): Make initial ranged attack, <b>damage</b> the target with the ranged attack.</li></ul>
<dl><dd> Drag triggers, and now you <i>have</i> gotten around the core rule about mixing attack types. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?256305-What-is-the-MKIII-Ruling-on-Black-Spot-and-Reaper-Malice-Drags&p=3850223&viewfull=1#post3850223" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</dd>
<dd> Destroy the dragged model with a melee attack, and trigger Black Spot. The free BS attack can be either ranged or melee.</dd>
<dd> So you make a ranged attack and try to Drag another one to restart the sequence.</dd>
<dd> Theoretically, if you keep managing to <i>damage + Drag</i> targets with the free ranged attacks, and <i>destroy + Black Spot</i> them with the free melee attacks, you never run out of free attacks.</dd></dl></dd></dl>
<ul><li> <u>Attack-Generating Abilities</u> (<a class="external text" href="../index5d3a.html?title=Template:RC_Attack_Generation&action=edit" rel="nofollow">Edit</a>)
<ul><li> From the core rulebook: <i>When a model is granted more attacks as a result of an attack it made, it gains only one. If two or more special rules would grant the model another attack as a result of making an attack, its controlling player chooses which special rule to apply.</i></li>
<li> If you trigger two attack-generating abilities (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Black_Spot" title="Black Spot">Black Spot</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Kill_Shot" title="Kill Shot">Kill Shot</a>) you choose to resolve one and "lose" the other (unless you trigger it again later).</li>
<li> If you trigger two attack-generating abilities, and one of them is compulsory (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Black_Spot" title="Black Spot">Black Spot</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Berserk" title="Berserk">Berserk</a>), you <i>must</i> choose to resolve the compulsory one.
