Hi,

After a _long_ break we have started playing DH2. I am playing a melee Adepta Sororita there and hopefully someone is still around to answer a question. Unfortunately the FFG boards are gone so I'm trying here:

Can one combine the effect of "whirlwind of death" talent with "assassin strike"? Meaning one can start out by striking at least 1 enemy, make the free move and contine striking one or more within half a move (after stopping the move completely)

For the record, the errata states that "assassin strike" IS possible to combine with "counter attack"


assassin strike
Tier: 3
Prerequisites: Acrobatics, Agility 40
Aptitudes: Weapon Skill, Fieldcraft
The character’s natural agility and graceful martial form turn him into a dervish of death in combat. After making a melee attack, a successful Challenging (+0) Acrobatics skill test allows the Acolyte to move at half rate as a Free Action. He may only make this move once per round, and the character’s opponent does not receive a free attack resulting from his move


WhirlWind of death
Tier: 2
Prerequisite: Weapon Skill 40
Aptitudes: Weapon Skill, Finesse
When facing massed opponents in close quarters, the Acolyte becomes a streak of blows, moving, hacking, gutting, and beheading his enemies with ceaseless fury. As a Half ction, the character may make one Standard Attack action (see page 224) with a melee weapon against a foe, plus one additional Standard Attack action with the same weapon targeting each other foe also engaged in melee combat with the character beyond the first (to a maximum number of attacks up to his Weapon Skill bonus)

Counter attack
Tier: 2
Prerequisite: Weapon Skill 40
Aptitudes: Weapon Skill, Defence
The Acolyte’s lightning ripostes are things of deadly beauty; swift and invisible as the wind. Once per turn, after successfully Parrying an opponent’s attack, this character may immediately make a Standard Attack action as a Free Action against that opponent using the weapon with which he Parried. The character suffers a –20 penalty on the Weapon Skill test for this attack.
