Just wondering if someone with support can heal themself?

No, they cannot.

sorry they can'y heal them selfs.

do the rules say they cannot?

Yes, the rules say you cannot. A character is not adjacent to itself.

also you have to roll a close combat action. if you succeed then you roll a D6 dice -2 that how much you are healed. so how do you roll and CCA against yourself? you can't.

posted on wrong forum.

Why quoting the power in question solves a great deal of the questions raised. Rep for you.

For clarity, Support is not a close combat action. It is not even a close combat attack. It is an "attack roll ... as though making a close combat attack."

In order for certain game mechanics that were designed to be helpful for Support (like combat value replacement) Support NEEDS to refer to an attack roll. On the other hand, it is not in any way, shape or form an attack. Even critical hits/misses are completely different. So I'll concede that the wording of the power makes "My Lifeguard is going to close combat on Gidget to heal her" an inevitable phrase, but my OCD wants folks to know it is not a close combat attack. A medic with a special power that said "Lifeguard adds 2 to his attack roll when making a close combat attack against characters with the Too-Cute-For-Words keyword" would not get a bonus while using Support.

Wasn't it ruled somewhere that a character is adjacent to the square it occupies? I forget what it was precisely, I think for some special object rule.

I dunno if that's relevant or not.


Either way, it goes against the spirit of the power, and spirit should trump nitpicking every single time.

Long ago it was the case, as you could Nanobot an object upon which you are standing. That changed a while ago, though. You are not adjacent to your own square.


I would strongly disagree with you.
You'll find many different interpretations of what the "spirit" of any rule is.

It's far better to use the rules as they are in order to get consistent rulings.

Ok thanks. Figured i'd ask before start using The Atom a lot lol.

You can with the feat Triage.

Triage
Prerequisites: Support

Choose a character.

When the character succeeds at the attack roll for Support, the resulting healing can be divided among the target and any other friendly characters (none of which may be adjacent to an opposing character) to which the character is adjacent and that the attack roll would hit (ignore all combat value modifiers). The target must be healed of at least 1 damage.

So with this feat you can heal the target and divide the healing to the characters adjacent to the character you healed (you being one of them).

actually as stated before, you are not adjacent to yourself.

Yeah, I believe he was confusing the "target" with the "character".

Typically when you see the word "character" in a feat, it is referring to the character assigned the feat. That's the case here.

The blob is.
