Area attacks interacting with bodyguard

[Clinkz117]

How would area attacks work with bodyguard? If I have two models in range of an area attack and one of them bodyguards for the other one does the attack still get a chance to attack the other model? What if the bodyguard model is dazed from the initial bodyguard trigger?

In your example the Bodyguard will take two attacks and the other character will take zero attacks because the Bodyguard character took the attack directed at the other character. If the character using Bodyguard is dazed by the first attack there are no more eligible targets so the attack will end. 

It works like this because the attacker makes one attack against each enemy in range. Attacked characters are counted at the beginning of the attack so the list of eligible targets won’t change if the attack resolves against a character other than the one initially attacked.
