Question for you all.

1) Energy Explosion, do adjacent characters to the target get a hindering Terrain defense bonus.

2) Can you TK an object if an opposing Character is adjancent to the TKer.

Yes, and Yes.

Man, Lover, you were all over this question....

Thaxs to all the nonninjas.

that's what we pay him for ....

Pay!? I get PAID for this!?

Man, I'm gonna have to have a talk with someone about this......I got a lot of back-pay coming to me.....

well what happened as your manager i have certain expenses ..... i take 90% then taxes take the rest.....

since when do the splash victims get the hindering bonus.

EE says to compare the attack roll to the defensive stat on their dial. granted, the target gets the HT bonus, but the adjacent figures...hmm, i could be wrong...i have been before. i just dont see it in the PAC where it says they do get the bonus, only to compare the attack roll to their defensive stat...

I might be wrong on this. I'll look into it further when I get a chance...

Thats why I asked. I ruled that it does count becuase it is a Range Combat attack.

Of course I didnt know about the TK thing.

I know if a figure has Energy Shield/Deflection they get that bonus on splash damage. I can't remember about the hindering terrain part though.

Good point I forgot about that. If they get that they should get hindering the terrain bonus.

So, the answer to the first question is most definitely NO. Psylockeslover can't win 'em all.

You get the ES/D bonus on all victims because Energy Explosion is a ranged combat attack.

You don't get the hindering terrain bonus on splash because you don't draw lines of fire to those characters.

Word!

Thanks for going through the trouble of looking it up NX. I had to go do that work thing last night, so I didn't have the time.


And here we see what happens when you go with your gut instinct instead of actually looking the darned thing up....
