RULE-BOOK QUOTE: "When a monster is activated, it may move a number of spaces up to its speed and make one attack ." (pg. 9)
RULE-BOOK QUOTE: "A monster always receives movement points equal to its speed, as shown on the monster reference cards." (pg. 9)
If I am interpreting these rules correctly, that means monsters may ONLY do a move-and-attack action on their turn, when they are activated. (Similar to the hero "advance" action.)
IS THIS CORRECT???
Another issue...
RULE-BOOK QUOTE: "The overlord player may activate each monster on the board once during his turn ." (pg. 9)
After searching the forums, I found that the Overlord must activate each monster on his turn, even if the monster does nothing.
IS THIS ALSO CORRECT???
I'll admit that I and my gaming friends are relatively new to playing Descent. Furthermore, my friends have played more than me, but I think I've studied / pored-over the rule-book more than they have. I will appreciate and welcome your informed answers to my questions. Moreover, if you can quote or point to a book / rule-book / errata as a point of reference for your input, that would be a great tool as well.
Thank-you!
