TO THE NEGATIVE ZONE: Susan Richards can use Outwit. Modify Susan Richards' damage value by +2 when she makes a ranged combat attack. When making ranged combat attacks, Susan Richards ignores terrain, walls, and opposing characters' Stealth..

can the +2 damage be gained when using this power in sync with running shot.

Running Shot gives you a Ranged Combat Action to activate powers. This certainly leads to a ranged combat attack which is what the power needs, so yes, you can use this power with Running Shot.

second opinion anyone?

A ranged combat action always leads to a ranged combat attack: otherwise, you'd never roll dice, never deal damage, etc.

thanks groot

What, my opinion wasn't good enough for you? *sniff*

Seriously, though, if nobody else says anything, it's basically a sure thing that it means "everyone else who read this thread agreed with the answer given". We aren't remotely hesitant to point out our disagreements here. : - )
