Reanimation

Hi,

zero monsters from the monstergroup within 3 spaces means that a monster with reanimation recovers 0 health if hit an not defeated. Do i see that right?

Edit: i meant 1 health (for figures are at range 1 to itself)

Yes, I think that is true. In the case of the reanimates that means sticking them together and hope you don't get one-shotted:) 6 reanimates is enough to keep the minions in act II at full health if the hit doesn't kill them. In practice however, I don't think a hero with a BRR or RBY will have much trouble one-shotting a minion. But in a corridor that means there are two more reanimates waiting.

Here are some example situations of a monster with Reanimation suffering damage; for the examples, let's use a minion skeleton archer (Health = 4):

a)A lonely archer (no other archers nearby) suffers 1 wound from poison.
-After suffering the wound, he recovers 1, since he is the only archer within 3 spaces. 4 health remaining.

b)There is another archer adjacent to our archer. Our archer is dealt 2 wound from an attack.
-After suffering the wounds, he recovers 2, since there is 1 more archer within 3 spaces. 4 health remaining.

c)There is another archer adjacent to our archer. Our archer is dealt 1 wound from an attack.
-After suffering the wounds, he recovers 1, since there is 1 more archer within 3 spaces, but he only suffered 1 wound. 4 health remaining.

d)There is another archer adjacent to our archer. Our archer is dealt 3 wound from an attack.
-After suffering the wounds, he recovers 2, since there is 1 more archer within 3 spaces. 3 health remaining.

e) There is an ettin nearby and the archer is dealt 2 wound from an attack.
-After suffering the wound, he recovers 1, since he is the only archer within 3 spaces. 3 health remaining.

f)An archer suffers 4 wound.
-No mattter how many archers are around, it is defeated. No wound recovered.

Note that as long as a monster with reanimation has at least 2 health remaining, he can walk through hazard terrain without issue (each space entered he will suffer 1 and then recover 1.)
