Hi all - I know that if my piece is soaring that range is then halved to it for enemies that want to shoot at me... but can I attack THEM at half range as well? Or is it still "soaring characters cannot make ranged attacks"? (I know Divebomb will let me make a close combat attack)

Also - IF a soaring character COULD make a ranged attack, would it get the same advantages as an elevated character? IE - ignore other figures for line of fire, etc?

I just haven't played seriosuly in a real long while so I'm kinda fuzzy on some of the technical aspects. Any help is great, thanks.

Well, a soaring character can't make a ranged attack, so that really nerfs the other question.

But.

If they could, I'd say the same rules would apply: Half range, grounded doesn't block line of sight etc. That'd be my guess at least.

Soaring character's can only affect other soaring character's giants collassal and fig's on elevated terrain.

though there is one exception if a flyer is soaring and has leap climb he can attack down in close combat.

Incorrect... at least, the part about figs on elevated terrain is. A soaring character can only effect other soaring characters, period. Due to special rules for colossal and giant figures, they exist at several elevations simultaneously (including soaring).



Powers, feats, and such can provide exceptions (but these exceptions are extremely rare ). See above for the typical situations.

So... could a soaring character attack ANOTHER soaring character from range? Or once anyone soars, does it NEED to be close combat?

There's not a real specific situation I'm thinking of or anything. Just trying to keep the technical stuff straight. Thanks for all the help - at least now I know for sure that I can't strafe the grounded dudes

Soaring characters can perform ranged attacks against other soaring characters at full range.
