Default Re: Flying assassins

Linked to this, can anyone help me understand the mechanics with Manifestation? The way I read the spell, there is a 50% chance the enemy commander will not be chosen and thus, there is a 50% chance your caster will be attacked. I have never risked it. Am I missing something here?

Thanks!

If there is more than one (non-hiding, non-sneaking) enemy commander in the province, and the 1st commander is not attacked, then it will try the 2nd commander, again with a 50% chance, and so on. So the chance of your own caster being attacked is just 1 in 2^N, where N is the number of non-hiding, non-sneaking enemy commanders.

And if any of those commanders are horror marked, the chance of them being attacked is 100%.
