'''Skirmisher''' is an [[Action]]-[[Attack]] card from [[Allies]]. It is a source of [[cantrip money]] that does a [[Militia]]-esque [[handsize attack]] if you gain an Attack card during the turn you've played it.

== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* When played, Skirmisher sets up an ability for the rest of the turn; any time you gain an Attack card, each other player discards down to 3 cards in hand.
* Revealing {{Card|Moat}} when Skirmisher is played stops the attack; you can't reveal Moat when an Attack card is gained later.
=== Other Rules clarifications ===
* An attacked player has to discard first before they get to use e.g. {{Event|Invest}} or {{Card|Falconer}}.
* If you gain Skirmisher and then play it (with e.g. {{Ally|City-state}}), the other players will discard down to 3 cards in hand.
* When you gain an Attack, you may play it with {{Ally|City-state}} before attacking with Skirmisher. This may be useful if the Attack you played would draw them cards (such as {{Card|Soothsayer}}).
* If you gain a copy of Skirmisher with either {{Card|Disciple}} or {{Card|Specialist}}, Skirmisher will attack. But if you gain a copy of Skirmisher with {{Card|Kiln}}, you won't attack, because you haven't followed Skirmisher's instructions yet.
* Exchanging or exiling a card doesn't count as gaining it. So if you exchange a {{Card|Bat}} for a {{Card|Vampire}}, or exile a Skirmisher with {{Event|Invest}}, you won't attack.
