<ul><li> The Servitor / Scrap Thrall is on the table for the attack roll, but it is removed before the damage roll. So stuff that affects a model's damage roll (like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Positive_Charge" title="Positive Charge">Positive Charge</a>) won't apply to the damage. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?279080-Carnivorous-Swarm-damage-roll-ownership&p=3878943&viewfull=1#post3878943" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> Damage is never boosted, even if the model charged before making the melee attack. </li>
<li> <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-notanattack"><u>Not considered an attack</u> & <u>"Non-attack damage roll"</u> (<a class="external text" href="../indexed5b.html?title=Template:RC_Not_an_attack&action=edit" rel="nofollow">Edit</a>) <span style="vertical-align: super; font-size: smaller;">[<span class="mw-customtoggle-notanattack" style="color: #0645ad">Show/Hide</span>]</span><div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<ul><li> There are two ways you can get these "non-attack" damage rolls.
<ul><li> <i><b>Type 1</b> - A secondary damage roll that is not considered to be an attack</i>. Some attacks create a second damage roll that is explicitly <i>"not considered an attack"</i> (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Electro_Leap" title="Electro Leap">Electro Leap</a>).
<dl><dd> (Note that although the secondary damage roll is not an attack, the original attack certainly is and will trigger stuff normally. These clarifications don't apply to the original attack.)</dd></dl></li>
<li> <i><b>Type 2</b> - A damage roll that's not from an attack</i>. Some special abilities & special actions tell you to make a damage roll without mentioning whether it is considered an attack or not (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Vent_Steam" title="Vent Steam">Vent Steam</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Flak_Field" title="Flak Field">Flak Field</a>).</li></ul></li>
<li> When it comes to <i>other</i> abilities that trigger on damage (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Vengeance" title="Vengeance">Vengeance</a>) both types function the same way. For brevity <b>we'll refer to both as "Pure Damage"</b>.<br/><br/></li></ul>
<dl><dd></dd></dl>
<ul><li> Pure damage is not an attack, so doesn't trigger stuff like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Vengeance" title="Vengeance">Vengeance</a>.</li>
<li> Pure damage is not an attack, so doesn't benefit from stuff that affects 'attack damage rolls' (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Bethayne1" title="Bethayne1">Bethayne1</a>'s feat). (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?279190-Arcane-Symbiosis-interaction-with-Spine-Burst-and-Blight-Shroud" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> Pure damage (normally) doesn't actually <i>hit</i> the model(s) it damages, so doesn't trigger stuff like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Shock_Field" title="Shock Field">Shock Field</a>. (A few of them do specify they hit, though, like <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Warhead" title="Category:Warhead">Warhead</a>.)</li>
<li> Pure damage is not from an attack, but it is (normally) damage from the original model. This has two implications:
<ol><li> It's not an attack from a weapon so:
<ul><li> it won't gain damage buffs from the weapon (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Poison" title="Poison">Poison</a>).</li>
<li> it won't gain any Damage Types from the weapon. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?263587-Electromancers-Lightning-Generator-Magical-Damage-and-Incorporeal&p=3716978&viewfull=1#post3716978" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li></ul></li>
<li> It is a damage roll from a model so:
<ul><li> it can be boosted. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?267052-Orin-midwinter-Electroleaps-boostable&p=3779644&viewfull=1#post3779644" rel="nofollow">Infernal Rulings</a></b>) ... unless the rule specifically says it can't, like a <a href="/index.php?title=Scrap_Thrall" title="Scrap Thrall">Scrap Thrall</a> explosion or <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Lightning_Generator" title="Lightning Generator">Lightning Generator</a>.</li>
<li> it will gain benefits that worded "this model gains ... on damage rolls" (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Prey" title="Prey">Prey</a>). (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?263596-Prey-and-electro-leap&p=3717122&viewfull=1#post3717122" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>

<li> Exception: Some damage is not from an attack <i>and</i> not from a model (for example, Collateral damage). In this case, you should reverse the stuff listed under #2 above.</li></ul></div></div></li></ul>
