In the following diagram can X be attacked by Y and vise-versa? All four letters represent clix that are occupying four adjacent squares.

XO
OY

Close Combat?

Yes!


Ranged Combat?


No,



Also you cant draw a line of fire between those two, for anything,

Including Prob, outwit etc

How could you not agree with a Sensualninja...


...especially one that's right!

I would have to agree with anyone that agrees with a Sensualninja on this one!

So it is No to range and yes to close combat...did not know that...

The reason is that close combat only requires that figures are adjacent to each other. In your diagram, everyone is adjacent.

Ranged combat, on the other hand, requires LOF and adjacency does not necessarily assure LOF.

On the off chance that "O" was blocking terrain (or Barrier terrain), then X and Y would no longer be adjacent.

Or even a double based character, too

If either X or Y is a flier or both are, than you can do a ranged attack. IF X is a flier and Y is grounded and there is another grounded character adjacent to them, then only X could use a ranged attack, Y couldn't.

That is the way it was but, I haven't read the new rules yet so I don't know if they changed it.

But you still can't use Outwit, Perplex, or PC.

The two O figure's still block LoF if all figures are at the same elevation, which is what grounded refers to BTW, so the result is no RC Attacks between X and Y.
However, the reason is exactly the same one that prevents a RC Attack from being made, the LoF is blocked.


BoT

Thought O was just terrain didn't see it in his post that they are all figures. In that case, no matter if they are fliers or gounded, X and Y cannot ranged combat one another.
However if O was terrain (non-blocking) then they would be able to reanged combat one another if X or Y or both were fliers.
