i.e.: My V-Zatanna is b2b with another hovering fig, when they attack, does my ES/D kick in or are they enacting a CLOSE COMBAT ACTION? only when they use their ranged powers, does my ES/D kick in, correct?

i dunno for sure but i'd say no ... it's kinda makes it like they are on even ground in that senario .. now if it was a grounded figure adjacent i'd say yes

It depends upon what action they are taking. For example, if they use RCE, then it certainly does kick in. If they use CCE, then obviously not.

In the interest of fair play, your opponent should tell you his intentions before he attacks.

yes only ranged attacks es/d kicks in not cce or cc attacks

actually, in the rulebook, it says hoverers can use their ranged combat powers against either grounded figures OR other hoverers...that s the advantage of using them

yup thought as much, thanks!

alrighty then their ya go

You opponent has a choice on his actions. He CAN make a ranged attack since he is a flyer, but he doesn't HAVE to. He can make a close combat attack and avoid your ES/D. I certainly would.

i would, too! but there are some newbs out there

hey, while you re around Funky Jett...someone told me earlier today, you could throw down barriers while in soar mode and that range wouldnt even be affected? if so, yeowch...iceman!

Almost right... from what I understand, the soarer's range would be cut in half as well, but at least you can still cast one while soaring. And until I hear differently, if the Barrier is on the ground, it will block LoF from the ground to the soaring figure. (That is still up for some debate, but that is how the currect rules read)

the reasoning the range isnt halved is because you cant even attack anybody on the ground half ranged while in soar mode...so i was really wondering about that. also i posted something over at the "Telekinesus" thread that I could use some help clearing up (mind you, i didnt misspell that, the thread starter did, lol)

I could be wrong about the range... I'm looking for it now.
