EE fig with two arrows fires two sep EE attacks that are increased with the Shield TA so that each fig hit is being dealt 2 damage. Is each explosion damage resolved separately?

Example

E-EE fig w/ two bolts and damage increased by Shield, crit hit and/or Enhancement +1

T---Target Schlep #1
U---Target Schlep #2
X---Unfortunate splash victims

E


TU
XX

If all the figs are hit by a high enough attack roll, does everyone take 4 points once or 2 points twice?

All the damage is dealt at once. They would all take the 4 at once.

Actually, it's neither.

1. Enhancement does not increase the EE itself. Instead, you total up the damage dealt to each figure, and then increase the damage dealt values against each figure by 1.

2. Use of a figure's multiple arrows is not two separate attacks. It is, instead, a single attack that is targeting multiple figures. As a result, all damage from the attack resolves at once.

Each figure would be dealt 3 clicks.
For T and U---3 = 1 splash + 1 direct + 1 Enhancement
For X and X---3 = 1 splash + 1 splash + 1 Enhacnement

First up, the two bolts do not represent two separate attacks, it's one attack with multiple targets. It's an important distinction.

It's one attack so all damage is resolved at once.

Let's take one at a time to make sure we get it down. If it is only increased by one SHIELD person (no enhancement or critical hit) the damage would all be at once and we would have:
- T dealt 3 damage (1 for initial + 1 for splash from U + 1 for SHIELD)
- U dealt 3 damage (same as T)
- each X being dealt 3 clicks (1 for splash from T + 1 for splash from U + 1 for SHIELD)

So basically, you determine the damage from the attack and then add the bonuses. If you then use enhancement on top of the SHIELD bonus you would increase those damages I listed by 1. If a critical hit is rolled again, each damage is increased by 1.

*sigh* *shakes fist at herocomplex*

Thanks guys. Sorry for the confusion where I started by asking about Shield TA and then later delved into the other ways to increase the damage.

(Goes back into corner dreaming of rolling a 12 with Shield TA and Enhancement working against a knot of figs....)

Yeah, I added wrong. :disappoin I added in the critical hit AND the enhancement.
