Can a figure with multiple targets but 0 damage do 1 damage each to multiple targets?

Basically, that's what happens...


You figure will do 0 Damage.... when you declare multiple Ranged targets.... you will 'reduce' your damage value to 1. Or , in this case... you'' change it to 1.... you get what I mean..



So, a figure with Multiple-Ranged target icons (lightning bolt icons) and 0 Damage would do 1 damage to all figures when attacking more than one target.


Does that make sense?

That's the way I've always played it.

I've seen a lot of guff on the boards about rules, but that has to be one of the most illogical and dumbest things I've ever heard. Do any of you judges use common sense when discussing these issues? How can it be a figure that does 0 damage when concentrating on a single target do 1 when attacking multiples?

The wording is clearly reduce, so how can you be so liberal and say it means change to. Clearly multiple attacks are designed to do less damage. Thanks to stupid decisions like this the heroclix expirey date is fast approaching

Sorry to disappoint you, rake, but that's been the rule since the beginning. You don't have to have common sense to be a judge, the rules have already been spelled out, and all we do is enforce them.

Cool...show me where!?! PAC? Rule book? FAQ? Please...show me! No?

From the rule book:

Whenever a ranged combat action is used to affect more than a single target, the damage value of the attack is reduced to 1

Some...not all. Some judges may do nothing but keep up to speed with rulings and then do their best job to administer them. Much appreciated. Others are quite active in debating rulings and wordings of the rulebook/PAC, etc. in the judges forums that are available or moderating these forums to help us guys out.

Ok...can't edit, but the gist of above is you reduce damage to 1, so my argument is you can't go from 0 to 1 as you're not reducing it...back me up all you math nerds!!!!

NOpe common sense is thrown out the window when it comes to some game conditions. It is ruled that Damage is not reduced to 1. It was changed to. Damage is 1.

Give me a few. My rulings are in the Car and its snowing. So I have to download the FAQ's. Its in there.

Its under Multiple Range Combats, Pg 16.

If a character can fire on multiple targets and has a damage value of 0, treat his/her damage as if it were 1 for shooting multiple range combat.

Then why does hawkeye have 2 targets 0 damage and rce? hurm... 0 damage to 2 targets? Sounds brilliant. Think about it. Jeez.

Thank you.

It's because Hawkeye is blind and when he's in a rush to shoot multiple targets he tends to fire the arrows backwards and therefore hitting the targets with the not so pointy bit, doing 0 damage. Must I explain everything.

It's in the FAQ, so it couldn't have been the rule since the beginning...I stand by this one.

Yeah, this ruling basically wasn't added until Hawkeye made his debut.
