Quick question: the feat says that if an object is not used as part of a close combat attack, an attack roll of 11 or 12 is a critical hit. Now it sounds like this will work with a ranged attack roll...will it?

AND STAY DOWN
Cost: 6
Prerequisite: Exploit Weakness or Super Strength
Choose a character. When the character is not using an object as part of a close combat attack, an attack roll result of 11 or 12 is a critical hit.




If you aren't making a close combat attack in he first place, you wouldn't even bother checking the conditions of the feat. So, no, it does not work with ranged combat.

A ranged attack "does not use an object as part of a close combat attack."

I thought I could be tricky

Thanks for the quick response, Norm!

The text of the card is specific: "When the character is not using an object as part of a close combat attack..."

A ranged attack would not be "using an object as part of a close combat attack," which would mean the requirements of the Feat are met.

To match the apparent intent, it would need to read something like: "During a close combat attack where the character is not using an object..."

Another loser to poor grammar choice, apparently.

I see your point and agree that a clarification wouldn't be unwarranted.

Hermes Conrad you are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
