Hey guys,

I am really really sorry to bring up this question, because it is really really silly....but it was argued at my venue tonight and 2 players got super upset saying that another was "being too serious".

So here it is:

When a character with the trick shot feat targets an opposing character who is standing in hindering terrain does the target character get the hindering terrain bonus?

Like I said I know this is a silly question and again I'm sorry, but I have to clarify on here to prove to them that the way it was judged is correct.

Thanks a bunch!
Karen

As always, it helps to quote the text of the feat.

Your line of fire ignores the fact that it is crossing hindering terrain when using this feat, therefore, it's the same as if it didn't cross hindering terrain at all. The target of a character using this feat will not get the hindering terrain modifier.

Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!

Printing now......

Most likely they heard about how Captain America's SP never gets blocked but still gets the bonus then incorrectly assumed that this applied elsewhere.

Conversely, a number of players believe Sharpshooter is the equivalent of Trickshot and think those figures ignore Hindering and Stealth.

No wonder players get confused is they don't keep the cards in front of them and just go with what they remember reading somewhere...

I think that people thinking Sharpshooter ignoring Stealth comes from Elite Sniper, but I agree with you.

I think most questions are addressed if you just look at the game text (and not how one imagines such a mechanic would work in comics)

Aw come on, man.

If people start doing that, then we will no longer be blessed with people repeatedly b@#%hing about not being able to Outwit Stealthed people while adjacent.

And people starting with in-comic explanations for why they should be able to outwit adjacent stealthed people. "If Batman is behind a sheet..." : - )
