Okay, so I'm playing a game, and I remember reading that I can only use TK on friendly figs if they're adjacent to the TK posessing character. I've checked and rechecked the rulebook, checked and rechecked both the Marvel and DC faqs, and I see nothing saying I can't TK my friendly fig that's in range. Anyone know about this stuff? As far as I know, I don't need to roll a combat roll or anything to move objects or friendly figs...so do they HAVE to be adjacent? The fate of the Justice League depends on the answer!!!!

Thanks!

They must be adjacent to the TKer.
I don't know where specifically it says it but that is the answer.

Yep, they have to be adjacent. I know not where the ruling lies, in specific, but I know it to be true.

Its in the PAC

You don't need to role.
They need to be adjacent.

Read your pac better:

Do you have to be adjacent to opposing figures in order to move them with TK?

Answer:

If you have to use a close combat attack then yes you have to be adjacent.

You have to be adjacent to use tk on anything.

This proved very frustrating to me on the weekend, when i was using my U Phoenix, and wanted to TK a heavy object at my opponent... I had it all planned out, and was then informed I had to be adjacent to whatever I was TKing.

It does not really make sense, if Phoenix can TK items and send them 10 squares away, why does she have to be adjacent to them?

I guess it is a game balancing thing... if it weren't the case characters with TK could just stay back and be VERY lethal.

NUTS!

Moving objects and figures via TK is a close combat action, therefore the target object or figure must be adjacent.

Yeah, I got it. Though, that's kinda ####py, isn't it? What good is TK if you have to be adjacent to the thing? I think there should be a special exception for getting friendly figs out of bad situations. There'd have to be a roll to make, like a 5 or a 6, and if it's successful, you can move your guy. Anyone with me? C'mon! Ah, well. Back to work.

I sorta agree with ya. I mean, you can mind control someone from a distance, so why not have it where you can TK someone from a distance. I was hoping I could TK someone towards my sentinel and home base without actually being next to them. Oh well. Rules are rules. I guess TK isn't too bad though. I mean you can still TK a friendly to an opponent, then attack with them. Like TKing nightcrawler to someone, then give them a HSS beat down.

for tK, i think a balancing thing owuld be that you can target any object in a 10 square range, and move that object anywhwere within your 10 square circle. I like that a lot more and adds some usefullness
