Occult Questions

[shmitty]

I just recently got the Occult Expansion and had a few questions.

First though, I love the book, it definitely adds a great deal to the game. Each Occult faction really has its own feel.

I was thinking of playing a British Chaplain with the Tank Hunter hero type from OtW 16. I figure a chaplain that can slay Werewolves with silver bullets fired from his trusty Boys Rifle would make a fun unit. My question is would his Pacifist ability prevent him from firing at a vehicle with the AT Rifle?

If I am reading the Tesla Mortar correctly, if I take 3 Infantry selections and a Mechanic in a US detachment I can have:

One Infantry unit with a bar, one support unit, and a Tesla Mortar. Is that correct?

I really like the options given for the new 'Gateway' units. The artifact choices, spell choices, etc. I would love to see the Mechanic get something similar with Tesla devices. Like: Choose one of the following options: A Tesla Pistol, Tesla Grenades, a personal field that improves A, etc.

A .55 cal silver bullet! that'll leave a huge mark in something.

Well, you may fire all you want at any unit labelled non-human, which to me translates into: Occult, Abomination, Supernatural or Animal but a Tank is neither. However it's a machine operated by a human crew.

So I'd say yes, the Pacifism ability would kick in. He just might risk hurting the crew inside.

He'd have to say a whole heck of a lot of Hail Marys if that Boyes caused an ammo explosion.
