With Compel and Promises of the Lord of Lies upon a successful Will Attack you get to make an enemey model use one of its attacks against itself or a model within 2". This brings up a couple of questions.
1) Can this attack benefit from Inspires, Trainings or Insights (if certain Shael Han units)? I am guessing no.
2) Can this attack benefit from Special Abilities the model might possess? Also guessing no.
3) If the Attack does further effects like Bounce, moving the model an amount of inches before the attack or Shattering Strike, do those trigger and if so is the attack being considered as coming from a friendly model and targeting an enemy? For that last clause, if I am facing Nasier and I use Compel on my opponents Greathorn, do all the Nasier still count as enemies so the Greathorn punches two other Nasier and itself in the face? Several attacks have bonus effects on enemy models.
4) Can you choose an Attack that triggers another Attack or the same Attack again? Like say the Blood Engines Eat Without Hunger attack or Madam Mui's jumping attack or The Dragon Slayer's Felskar Harness which can activate Dragonslayer Swords.
5) If a model targets itself for the attack and has Knockback on the attack is that effect wasted and if not which direction does it get Knockbacked?
6) Could you use a Hadross attack to Resonate other Hadross for a later use of a Compel like attack to make use of Resonate? Honestly, way too action intensive for what you get out of it.
7) Are Attacks only actions that have the potential to do damage? In other words could you instead do an ability like Night Mistress' Come Hither to move other models around? Another odd thing is Attacks/Actions with Special in the spot where Will/Magic/Melee/Range/etc tends to go. So Kozakar's Pathfinder and War Dancer's Deadly Flourish. One does damage the other doesn't but both are labeled Special.
Well that is all the ways I can think of Compel and its equivalent attacks interacting oddly with other peoples stuff. Thanks for looking.
