Q: If a model is subject to two rules that set a characteristic
to a particular value (e.g. the Norn Emissary’s Singular Purpose
ability and being Battle-shocked), which rule is resolved first?
A: The order is determined by the active player, or if it is at the
start or end of a battle round, players roll off to determine who
chooses. In the example, in the controlling player’s turn, they
could choose for the Battle-shocked rule to take effect, setting
the Objective Control characteristic to 0, and then the Singular
Purpose ability to take effect, setting the final Objective
Control characteristic to 15. In their opponent’s turn, however,
their opponent could choose to apply the rules in the opposite
order, resulting in a final Objective Control characteristic of 0.
