Rita's special ability

By Notturno81, in Arkham Horror: The Card Game

Hi folks,

I'm playing my first campaign with Rita Young right now and have question regarding her special ability. After you evade an enemy: Either deal 1 damage to that enemy, or move to a connecting location. (Limit once per round.) What if I'm engaged with two enemies? Do I get the attack of opportunity from the other one, while moving to the next location? Comparing with Ursula's reaction: Our seeker gets an attack of opportunity as she performs an "investigate" action after she moved. I understand that Rita should get an AoO as she performs a "move" action after she evaded one of the enemies and being still engaged with the second one.

In Ursula's Investigator Card it explicitly states to take an investigate action. It doesn't say on Rita's card to take a free move action, only to move, which i think is a big difference. So in my opinion: no AoO

Yeah, Attack of opportunity arise only when taking an action, but moving with Rita's ability seems part of the Evade action. Same think with Fast action, they're not actually taking an action slot.

But any enemy still engaged with you will move with you, it just won't trigger an AOO.
