Template:RC Artifice of Deviation

Rules Clarification : Artifice of Deviation      (Edit) "Treat Open Terrain as..." (Edit) This ability doesn't change the terrain type, just how models treat it. (In comparison to, say, Rapid Growth which creates a forest.) Because it doesn't change, models that get a benefit for being near terrain (ie the Earthborn Dire Troll) need to instead be inside the affected area to gain the benefit. If it's outside the area, then from its current point of view the area is open terrain. If you have two overlapping effects like this (such as "treat open as rough" overlapping with "treat open as shallow water"), the area is treated as both terrain types. If you then have a model that ignores one of the overlapping effects (such as Amphibious trying to treat shallow water as open terrain) they'll still suffer the effect they're not ignoring. (Infernal Ruling)
