Its a beta rule, it needs an update/FAQ.

I suspect, that what it says now is not what they really meant it to say and it will be changed. (and I suspect that DeathReaper will be correct on the interpretation)

The continuing argument about a rule, that isn't even an actual rule yet, is going round in circles so much it's making me dizzy!

General reminder to all participants present: Rule #1 is not optional. Warnings have been issued.

Everything about the codex suggests that it was intended to work the way it does, although I do not think they fully understood the level that it would be exploited with Vessel.

So I do suspect that they will change it (which then makes both Passion's 5+ test as well as Vessel's 3 CP cost unjustifiable).

I also suspect that once it is nerfed, it will read-and-function like Penitent Engine's ability.

Unfortunately, Sisters' Beta Dex is law for the ITC format now.

ITC doesnt allow codexes before their faq.

ITC has ruled for Sister's Beta Codex specifically, which I assume is because they were the playtest team for it (as Reece has been gloating about being part of the team for the Chapter Approved missions).

LVO judges have also made the ruling for LVO that The Passion will be played as if it is the Khorne Berserker's ability (same wording as Penitent Engine's ability with "instead of only once"), with all associated FAQs that have been applied to that ability.

CA18 FAQ is out, and The Passion has been errata'd.

Change the second sentence to read:
‘If successful, the selected unit can be chosen to Fight with twice in that phase, instead of only once.’

Thank goodness! Unclearness made clear! Lock it up?

It wasn't unclear to begin with, the additional wording is really just redundant.

hah. Yeah, the multi-page thread was just for giggles.

If that makes you feel better: Sure.

I'm just happy they fixed it.
