AC

This type of Special lets the player shift the attack from the target to a different front-line Character. The selected Character may now defend as is normally allowed under the rules. This Special would have to be discarded as unplayable if there were no other front line characters.

Variations
There are two types of AC special cards. One of them allows the character to take an attack for a teammate. The other allows the character to let a teammate take the attack.

Meta Rules
Meta #12 An attack which is shifted from one Character to another cannot be defended by a card which was already in play at the time of the attack.

Meta #13 Once an attack has been shifted, it cannot be shifted again.

Meta #25 Only attacks which target a specific Character may be shifted or otherwise defended by a Character specific defensive action. Attacks made on the "opponent" may not be shifted or avoided. Attacks made on a Battlesite cannot be shifted.

Meta #31 When a Special refers to a teammate, it means another Character on your team (unless the text of the Special indicates otherwise) that is not the Character who played the Special. If the Special is referring to all of the Character's teammates, then it does include the Reserve Character. If it is referring to what can be done with a specific teammate, then it applies only to the Front Line Characters. It never means the Battlesite or the Home Base.

Meta #101 A defending player cannot shift an attack to a Character if it would result in the shifted attack having no effect.
