Please can someone explain to me how lunge works. Can you make ranged attcks with it. can you lunge and then use say charge? Please can someone break it down for me asap.

The RA is still checking, but the last word is that it comes immediately before a close combat attack.

Okay so what does this mean. What all works with this? Can I charge?Also does LC or CCe have to be showing on the dail it the time. Or just must have it somewhere on your dail?

meaning I could sorta close combat attack from 2 away ??
(after "lunging" closing that 2)

and could I still use my CCE ?

Okay well what about charge and the second part of my question. And does it have to be a CC attack?

Do whatever you want (or can) beforehand, but when you make a close combat attack (only a close combat attack) you can "jump" two squares.

I'm not going to make a list. If you question a power, ask yourself "would this end up in a close combat attack?" If the answer is yes, you can jump two squares to get to a target and attack.

kinda what i thought can you use the pre-requisite cce in that attack ?

No. CCE is a power action. You can only do a CC attack.

I don't believe this is correct. CCE is a power action that lets you make a close combat attack. Lunge lets you move two squares before you make the close combat attack.


Also, to clarify the charge situation: You move up to half your speed value (requiring breakaway and such), then you move two squares for Lunge before making the close combat attack.

Basically, inside whatever action you're doing, if you can make a close combat attack, you can replace that close combat attack with moving two squares without breaking away and then making the close combat attack.

Good point.

Hmm.

Guess there's yet another rules-lawyered Feat.

Flatmatt is correct.
How on Earth is anything being rules-lawyered?

The card says to move two squares before a close combat attack. Close Combat Expert is a close combat attack. There's no rules-lawyering there. It is pretty straight forward.

From the WizKids forum:

In terms of interaction w/ other powers.

Charge?

HSS?

Flurry?

To name a few...although I see a post below/above me that's covering just that...

Charge. It's in the example above. Break away, move Charge movement, Lunge 2 squares, make close combat attack.

HSS. Move to within 2 squares of opposing figure, Lunge 2 squares, make close combat attack, continue movement.

Flurry. Lunge 2 squares, make close combat attack, Lunge 2 squares (or not), make close combat attack.

To add, I'm assuming even Free actions activate the card? Thus E2 Superman could use his LEADING THE ATTACK SP to Lunge/attack a character for free?

That's just gross.
