## Rules questions

### If there are more enemies than allies around me, do I pay extra movement and how?

Yes — when enemies are equal to or outnumber allies in an area you suffer hindering: affected movement steps cost extra movement (see Hindering Movement, page 17).

### Does hindering ever make me ignore die symbols on attacks or other rolls?

Yes — hindering can cause you to ignore die symbols on a roll; the rules explain which symbols are ignored and show examples of how to apply this (see Hindering die rolls, page 18).

### How does the Guard action work — can I intercept attacks against an ally?

Use the Guard action to protect an adjacent ally: if you successfully Guard, attacks targeting that ally can be resolved against you instead, using your defense and armor as described (see Guard and Armor, pages 11–12).

### Do heavy weapons or encumbrance reduce my movement or stop certain skills from working?

Yes — encumbrance from items or skills can impose movement penalties and affect how one- versus two‑handed weapons interact with skills; check the encumbrance and movement penalty rules for how these apply (see page 19).

### Can I pick up, throw, or open a chest while I'm hindered?

Manipulation actions (pick up, throw, open chest, etc.) are subject to hindering unless a rule says otherwise; the Reroll action has a specific hindering exception explained with an example for opening a chest (see Manipulation and Reroll, pages 13–14).

### How do line of sight and elevation work for ranged attacks — do I get a bonus from high ground?

Ranged attacks require line of sight to the target, and elevation can grant an attack bonus for ranged attacks when the elevation rules apply (see Ranged Attacks and Elevation, pages 10–11).
