LUNGE:
When the character is given an action, but before it makes a close combat attack, it can break away automatically and move up to 2 squares.


Can you use Lunge with a HSS Supes that CCE and move your full move then lunge? Basically can you activate the feat with a move action? I didnt think so but a judge allowed it tonight.

Yes, that's fine. If they have CCE or L/C they can use it. HSS for full movement, then Lunge a further 2 squares.

That's fine.

HSS is a power action, actually, but that's not the action triggering Lunge.

"When the character is given an action, but immediately before it makes a close combat attack, it can break away automatically and move up to 2 squares."

Is the figure given an action? Yes...a free action to make an attack.
Is it a close combat attack? If it is, then you fill the criteria.

So would full move leap climb activate lunge? it's an action.

The action must result in an attack normally. Does leap/climb result in an attack? No. Does Pounce result in an attack? Yes!

Pounce and Lunge work very well together =]

Pounce and Lunge.... Those were the days. I remember using both of them to meet the woman who would later become my wife.

Clix? Oh yes, the feats "Lunge" and "Pounce" are very good too.

Of course, while Leap/Climb is the prerequisite for Pounce (and one of the ones for Lunge), you cannot use Leap/Climb when using Pounce.

This is true.

Not exactly.

In the diagram above, our character has Charge and leap/Climb and is assigned Lunge. His speed value is 6. Half his speed is 3, so he moves 1, 2, 3, as labeled on the diagram. He is then given a close combat action, which includes an attack, so he can Lunge 2 squares (both indicated with L) and attacks the character on elevated terrain.

How does he do this? He uses Leap/Climb.

But that's not using Pounce at all. (Or was it not in reference to what ChiRocker said and just an example of using Leap/Climb and Lunge together?)

Yeah. And since Pounce only lets you do a close combat attack it is not enough to activate Leap/Climb's "attack someone on a different elevation" feature.

I was agreeing that Pounce and Leap Climb aren't used together.

Chalk it up to reading too many threads in a short span of time.

It's ok, I forgive you =]

Forgiveness ==> rep
