Here is the set up:

I have a based figure, he rolls to break away and fails. I then use my TKer to TK the same figure who just failed his breakaway away, I then roll for breakaway again and he succeeds this time and is moved. Is this legal?

So basically the question is if I try to break away and fail on a based figures action, is there anything stopping my TKer from trying to move that fig which already failed one breakaway attempt?

different scenario: if a based figure who has not made any actions is moved by TK and successfully rolled his break away, can he now do an action, or was his break away his action?

And I have always been a bit unclear on this...

can a based fig use TK on an object or character that is not adjacent to them, or does the figure basing me cut off line of sight?

There is nothing stopping your TK'er from using it to pull your character away from the hostile that's basing it, and because the action was given to the TK'er rather than the character being pulled to safety, if you haven't already given that character an action before using TK to pull them away, you can assign that character an action after they have been moved.

are you saying I don't have to roll breakaway if I tk my fig away from an opposing figure?

No, since TK moves a figure, as opposed to placing a figure, a break away roll is needed.

that's what I thought. So then the question remains, can the based figure that was moved by TK now take an action, or was his having to roll breakaway his action? Also still confused on the other questions I asked above.

by the way thank you guys very much for responding so quickly rep to you both.

That is legal. The action to use TK is given to the TKer, not the TKee. The TKee has only been given one non-free action in that turn.

DrZero hit this one. You can give an action to the character that was just moved. Rolling break away is not an action. (It's something that other actions -- in this case the TK action given to a different characters -- cause to happen.)

If the basing character blocks the LOF, then the basing character blocks the LOF and the target cannot be TKed. However, if the TKer has LOF to the target, then the TKer can use TK Option 2 even when based. The TKer could not use TK Option 1 since that would require a ranged combat attack and the TKer is adjacent to an opposing character.

It's actually because TK Option 2 requires a break away roll that a break away roll is required. (Because of how the rules are worded, a break away roll would not be necessary if the TK Option 2 rules didn't specifically require it.)

Awesome thank you!


*sorry Questions, need to pass some rep around before you can have anymore. That's what you get for being so smart. We need to change your name to answers.

Sadly I can't do it for you. I have to spread it around some too.

I got him for ya...

haha thanks rep for repping

dang cant get you either, this could become a viscous cycle.

Wait... I'm sorry, I may be confused and apologies if I am, but if you're going to TK a based character away, then you *DO* have to roll a breakaway roll... is that what we've decided? :P

Also, I think it's been answered, but yes you can make an action after TK'ing the character (the TK'd character can)

If you are TKing a character using TK Option 2 (friendly character) then yes. If you are TKing a character using TK Option 1 (opposing character) then no.

So does TKing still work this way with the rule changes over the past few years?

The guy is based and wants to be TK'd away, still has to roll breakaway?

No breakaway. TK now places, it no longer moves.

Awesome. This rarely happens to me but thanks for clarifying.
