Does ‘Pick-me-up’ still trigger when the big guy is distracted by really stupid? The description for it doesn’t mention being distracted so I assume it still goes off?
An Active Trait can be used by a player at anytime, so long as the are Standing and are not Distracted. If an Active Trait can be used by a player that is Prone, Stunned or Distracted, then it will be stated in that Trait’s description. (pg. 122)
Somewhere in the rule book (first page of skills section) there is a rule saying active skills can only be used if standing and not distracted and passive skills are always in effect even if prone or distracted. Pick me up is active so no for that one, which sucks for us nurglars.
On one hand losing half your Pestigors when there where doing a huge chunk of the moving and shacking in the team really stings (way more than most other teams positional reduction), on the other hand Stand Firm on Bloaters will be a huge game changer.
I also really like the Pick-me-up on the big guy, it both flavorful, characterful and actually useful.
The addition of Steady Footing on the Pestigors will solidify the team as “that one team that screw over your plan because of that one dice roll”.
