Hi, recently bought the game and something's been a thorn in my side since the start. The familiar doesn't have anything shown next to the shield icon to indicate which defense die it uses. Does that mean it just always takes the full brunt of an attack or is there some other way of knowing which die should be used?

Thanks in advance.

By "familiar" I'm specifically talking about Reanimate.

Reanimate takes the full attack, with no defense die.

Happily, the Necromancer can resummon it later.

There is a Necromancer Skill that gives the Reanimate a brown defense die, but until he gets that, the Reanimate just doesn't roll defense dice.

The familair's card is the go-to place for all his stats. If something isn't listed there, it doesn't have anything for that stat. Each familiar has it's own rules for which stats it has or doesn't have, as listed on the appropriate card.

Cool. We've been doing it correctly then.
