    Question: I a player ails the Cohesion Challenge required to

    activate the Squad Mode, can the next player make the Cohesion

    Challenge or spend the Full Action to activate Squad Mode, or isthe whole squad stuck in Solo Mode or a ull round?

    Answer: Yes, another player can make the Cohesion

    Challenge or spend the Full Action to activate Squad Mode,there is no limit on the number o times the Kill-team can

    attempt to orm a Squad, although each character can onlymake one attempt per round.

    Question: I a Solo Mode or Squad Mode Ability allows acharacter to take a hal-action or ull action out o turn or as

    a ree action, can the character still take his normal actions

    in turn?

    Answer:Yes. For example, a Battle-Brother uses Bolter Assault

    to charge and shoot as a ree action, he can then spend his

    regular ull action to charge and attack with a melee weapon,or do any other ull action or two hal-actions.

    Question: How does Medicae skills First Aid option work

    when multiple injuries are received and some are treated

    successully and others are treated unsuccessully?

    Answer: First Aid is applied to all Damage that the characterhas taken and that has not been treated yet. A single application

    o First Aid treats all Damage taken, even i it came rommultiple sources. I the First Aid was unsuccessul, or i it did

    not restore all Damage, the player should note the remaining

    Damage as being Treated thereater it can only be treatedwith Extended Care Medicae Option or natural healing. For

    example: A Battle-Brother has 20 Wounds and is completelyuninjured. He suers 10 Damage leaving him with 10

    Wounds. First Aid is applied and heals 8 Damage, the Space

    Marine now has 18 Wounds, and 2 points o Treated Damage.The Space Marine suers another 10 Damage leaving him

    with 8 Wounds, 10 points o Untreated Damage, and 2 pointso Treated Damage. First Aid is applied and heals 12 Damage,which would normally put the Space Marine right back up

    to 20 Wounds; however, because 2 points o Damage have

    already been treated, the Space Marine only heals 10 pointso Damage (that were Untreated) and now has 18 Wounds.

    The Battle-Brother still has 2 points o Treated Damage thathave not been healed and would need to rely on Extended

    Care or natural healing to recover these 2 points o Damage.

    Question: Do Fate Points remove Damage treated by Medicae

    or only Damage untreated by Medicae?

    Answer: Fate Points remove any type o Damage (other than

    Critical Damage), regardless o whether or not the Damagehas been treated by Medicae or not.

    Question: Can a Battle-Brother bear more than one Chapter

    Trapping?

    Answer: No. While the GM may allow the player to swap

    Chapter Trappings between Missions, the character is limited to

    one Chapter Trapping at any given time due to the restrictionsplaced on the Battle-Brothers by the Deathwatch.
