I remember reading somewhere a while ago that the Ranged Attack rule had changed for when a character is in B2B contact.

Specifically - CAN a figure use a ranged attack against an enemy that is within his range, but not adjacent, while he is IN B2B contact with a separate enemy figure?

Thanks!

As long as you've got line of sight to him, Nightwing. ;-)

=GASP= You know who I =---- er... I mean... what are you talking about?

(Speaking of which - random plug - the fanfilm "Grayson." Oh man. I thought it was going to be stupid. It rocks.)

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, but only if the attacker is a flyer.

Really? So Green Arrow or Batman couldn't do it?

What if the non-flyer is B2B with a flyer. Can they do it then?

Nope. As 9433 said, only a flyer can do this.

A non-flyer may make a ranged attack against an adjacent flyer as long as he's not also based by an opposing non-flyer. But non-flyers can only make ranged attacks against adjacent flyers while flyers can make ranged attacks against anyone to whom they have LOF.

Great - cool. I understand.

Thanks everyone!

Does that mean a non-flyer when B2B with an enemy) can't outwit or perplex someone none adjacent but still within 10?

In this case the grounded figure can use Outwit, PC and Perplex if he has a LOS. Those powers aren't ranged combat actions nor ranged combat attacks.

Outwit and Perplex are not ranged attacks, so the above rules do not apply to using those powers.

All that is required for Outwit and Perples is LOF and withing the maximum range of 10.
