Keywords

<nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/model">Model</nuxt-link> Rules include <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/keywords">keywords</nuxt-link> to help define their effects. These <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/keywords">keywords</nuxt-link> can be used directly within the rulebook, which applies to rules that always have that keyword. Alternatively, <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/keywords">keywords</nuxt-link> can be specified for individual rules on specific <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/model">models</nuxt-link>, <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/spells">spells</nuxt-link>, or <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/weapons">weapons</nuxt-link>. In this case this is done within brackets following the name of the rule.<br><br>    Below follows a list of <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/model">Model</nuxt-link> Rule <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/keywords">keywords:</nuxt-link><br>   <br>        <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&bull;  <span class="textbf">Shooting</span> or <span class="textbf">Melee & Shooting</span> <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/attack_attributes">(Attack Attributes</nuxt-link> only): An Attack Attribute with the keyword Shooting only affects <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/attacks">attacks</nuxt-link> made with <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/shooting_weapons">Shooting Weapons</nuxt-link>, while an Attack Attribute with the keyword Melee & Shooting affects both <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/melee_attacks">Melee Attacks</nuxt-link> and <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/attacks">attacks</nuxt-link> made with <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/shooting_weapons">Shooting Weapons</nuxt-link>.<br>        <br>            <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&bull;  <i>Remember that the default if none of these <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/keywords">keywords</nuxt-link> are used is that <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/attack_attributes">Attack Attributes</nuxt-link> only affect <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/melee_attacks">Melee Attacks</nuxt-link>.</i><br>          <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&bull;  <i>For example, by default <span class="textbf"><nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/poison_attacks">Poison Attacks</nuxt-link></span> affect only <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/melee_attacks">Melee Attacks</nuxt-link>.

A <nuxt-link class="ruleLink" to="/app/rule/model">model</nuxt-link> with this rule can make a special Melee Attack (<i>which is not a Standard Melee Attack</i>), that hits automatically.
