OK, so I'm looking at this and think I know the answer but want to confirm.

If the Comedian (Watchmen #006), on his starting clix, is based by two opposing clixs, he can use his Sharpshooter ability to double arrow attack both of them with a Energy Explosion attack.

My question is, if he manages to roll high enough to hit a 17D (his Defense #), would he take two points of Splash damage from the attack? My initial reaction is that he would take the 2 (1 after toughness) damage but I want to confirm.

Yes if he is adjacent to his target(s) he would be dealt the splash damage.

Energy Explosion
Give this character a ranged combat action; this attack can target only characters. For each target successfully hit, compare the attack roll to the defense value of each character adjacent to that target to determine if the attack also succeeds against it. Each character hit is dealt damage equal to the number of times it was hit by this attack (characters adjacent to multiple targets might be hit more than once). A critical hit automatically hits all targets and all characters adjacent to the targets and deals 1 additional damage to all characters hit. If a character evades the attack, it evades all hits by this attack.


If Comedian is hit twice with EE, he will be dealt 2 damage. Doesn't matter if he was the one using EE or not... all that matters is how many times he was hit.

Correct, unlike quake which only targets opposing characters, EE will hit ALL characters adjacent to the target(s) that includes other friendlies as well.

Really suck if the two targets basing him were Mystics lol

nice one, sir.

It would really suck if the two Mystics were basing Hela with Elite Sniper and Ambidextrous

Yes, but Blake would just be standing there, stogie gripped firmly in his teeth, laughing the whole time! Splash damage, mystics damage and all!
