Eldar Dire Avengers Defending

[Zakath the slaughterer]

The Exarch power Defend, how does it work?

I always thought that it just takes away one attack and that's it but now a friend mine is arguing that since the way it is worded, the -1A penalty is cumulative. So an Ork sluggaboy assaulting Avengers would have 3 attacks and the next turn he would strike 2 (stats) + 1 (weapon) - 1 (Defend) = 2 times. The turn after that, only once.

How does it go?

[Mr. anderson]

You were right. The book says nothing about the power being cumulative. Your opponents have one less attack than they would usually have if they attack the dire avengers.

HUZZAH!
