I've asked this before but recently have received different answers. It really involves Chemo. If Chemo approaches a group of standard figs, does he have to stop 2 away? 2nd question...if Poison damages anyone adjacent to him and Giants are adjacent from 2 away, does his poison ALSO effect 2 away?

Thanks!

If the answer is yes, he rules, if not, he stinks!

The 2 square adjacency is only for movement or close combat attacks. So, if neither are being used, it does not get involved.

Therefore, yes, a Giant has to stop movement (barring anything that allows to ignore characters on movement like L/C or P/T) when opposing characters become 2 square away.

And since Poison is not a close combat attack, it does not affect characters 2 squares away.

Then the judges were wrong.....I was hoping they were right...can we get a petition going to change it?

I agree. whats the point of giveing a giant poison if his "giantness?" prevents its use?

Is this V ult doc ock with EE and battle fury all over again?

It doesn't prevent its use at all... he just can't use it two squares away. If anyone is actually adjacent to Chemo (and there are plenty of ways that can happen), it works just fine.

Just because something isn't super-exploitable and the next, new tournament caliber hotness does not mean it doesn't work

I agree that "2 range" Poison is too powerful, but Chemo should at least be able to move next to opposing figures.

He can move next to an opposing character the same way any other Giant can, by rolling for breakaway and moving one square closer. Giants only fail breakaway on a 1 or 2 roll and with Chemo, and his Plasticity, he only fails on a 1 for a good chunk of his dial.

Is this turning into a "I don't like Giant rules!" thread? Or is this becoming more of a "I think Chemo got hosed!" thread? I ask not to stifle anyone's opinion (you are more than welcome to it), but this is the rules forum (not the complaint forum) and both of those particular topics have been discussed before, at length, in other more appropriate forums.

I'll have to go check out those other forums.

yeah that is a rule that needs to be updated i find it a royal pain in the rear to have a giant poisen gas man not being able to poisen those around him. especialy with this senario in our event for this upcomeing tourny its a special poisen setting for radioactive man lol/
