Similarly, Capt obvious attempted to target Col Sanders who successfully rolled SC. Can I Outwit SC and use Compel to have the Captain target the Colonel again, or is the Colonel protected from the Captain by the previously successful Shape Change roll? i don't see the effects of SC going away before the end of the turn, regardless.

Oh, i understand, I'm on your side and agree with you.:cross-eye

The more I think about it, the more I think my gut is right.
Shape Change does have a specified duration (the current turn), so its effects should end when the power is lost (when HT is KOed) and Colonel Sanders should no longer be protected.

I'd think that HT would not get hindering in the first example. The LoF is blocked. The blocked LoF makes the attack illegal. The Sp makes the attack legal with a blocked LoF. There is no bonus for having a blocked LoF. Inversely, you could think of it as never having to draw LoF to HT to begin with so there is never a LoF to cross hindering terrain and thus never a hindering terrain bonus.

I think this is probably key to making a ruling. Just because the source of the SC is gone, it doesn't mean that the fig using SC can suddenly become a target of an attack during the action that caused the loss of SC.

The PG has the answer to your question:

ALIAS
 The feat is considered ―used‖ as soon as the character has
rolled for Shape Change. If a player opts to use the feat, but
other game effects occur such that the character is not
targeted prior to rolling for Alias (e.g., the Skrulls team
ability) then the feat is not considered used and is not
discarded.

So it would seem that after the roll you would be protected for the whole turn, even if you can't use SC anymore.

Or Alias is actually useless and requires errata.

Well there you go. I look everywhere on the realms for clarification and the one place it would be, I don't check. Its early and I have not finished my coffee.

You wouldn't roll SC for the second attack anyway. If he's still benefiting from the first Shape Change, he's immune to attacks from the first character for the rest of the turn. Rolling for the second attack simply isn't on the table.

However, I agree with Quebster's argument, that part of Shape Change is a limited duration effect, so would vanish when Shape Change does.

That argument would have worked in earlier versions of the rules, which made it explicit that a line of fire is either clear XOR hindered XOR blocking. The current rules do not include this clause. A line of fire is labelled based on the terrain it crosses. The line of fire in the first example is both hindered and blocked. It will have the properties of a hindered and a blocked line of fire, except that it is ignoring the "makes attacks illegal" property of the blocked property set.

This part is the part that made me doubt that I might be right. I could see this argument. However, there is nothing in the game text that says you aren't looking at the line of fire to the new target so... well, so I asked. : - )

Quick Question:
Anything stopping you from giving Human Target's teamate(s) camoflauge?
And then they use his trait to activate it?

Cooffffeeee.....

It looks to me like that would work.
