My Question thread

[Etched Oracle]

You can cast a spell and invoke a feat before you run but not after, as running ends your activation.

You can cast a spell and invoke a feat before you charge, but if the charge fails then the unit activation ends immediately. If the charge is successful then as I understand it you can cast spells and invoke feats both before and after your charge melee attack.

Sorry Stu just to clarify;

You cannot cast nor use your Feat nor attack before declaring a Run. This is because of two things.

1. Run rules pg.46 A model that uses its normal movement to run cannot make an action, cast spells, or use feats that activation.
2. You could argue that means you can make an action, cast spells or use your feat then declare a Run but you no longer fulfill the requirements to take the Run action if you do any of the above prior.

As for the charge yes Stu is right, you may cast or use your feat prior to charging as there is no rule against this and you may, provided you ended your charge movement successfully (In melee with the target), cast spells or use your feat before making the attack. You may cast spells or feat at any time provided you are not interrupting a series of rolls i.e Attack & Damage.
