Mokk's Hammer: Relic 5-6

This character can use Plasticity and Running Shot with a minimum range of 4. This character modifies its attack value by +2.

Do I have the range of 4 only when I do a Running Shot or does it give me a minimum of 4 range that I can do a standing shot?

You don't half your range. You half your speed when doing a running shot.

that mean if your figure has range 3 or less is now 4, that's why says "with a minimum range of 4"

I could be wrong but I think what he is asking is: does the character with the hammer on its card always have the min 4 range or just when it is using running shot?

Reading for the win.

To me, he has the 4 range ONLY when he uses Running Shot.

That's how I ruled it.

Not that I see where it matters in most situations. You could declare Running Shot and move 0 squares, could you not?

Yes, you can, just had to make sure because someone took me up on that when I equipped Tyr w/ Mokk's Hammer recently (which is nasty...RS for 4 or Charge/EW, take your poison and he's got Indomitable, a great Defense Trait, a perfect guy for Mokk's Hammer), so I simply did a RS of 0 squares, perfectly legal.

Probably would come up if Tyr had somehow picked up an opposing team's Batarangs while having Mokk's Hammer and being based; having Sharpshooter and 4 range at this point wouldn't allow him to take a potshot up close, he'd have to break first or just swing in close.

I agree with the ruling.

It becomes an important distinction if, say, someone tries to use that 4 range for a HSS attack.

Just going by the wording, I would agree with everyone saying that the Min 4 range only applies when the character uses Running Shot.

Did you read any of the original post??? haha, I'm going to assume no.

Or if you're based.

Even a move of 0 requires a breakaway roll.

But MOST situations, it won't matter.

They would also not be able to use ranged combat expert...

That's kind of irrelevant, because if a character had RCE on its dial, it probably already has a range value.

I honestly couldn't remember if it was on the BotS dial or not... But you could Gizmo it on to someone..
