Tonight some guy did runnning shot on Vet Vet. Nightwing
and declared it ok because he ended his running shot in
close combat. I told him its not right and I didn't have
anything to back me up. So can you fine people and judges
help me out here, or tell how I was in the wrong?

Thanks

I assume Nightwing was standing on hindering terrain, and the attacker was a flyer.

No, he cannot do this. Anytime a character makes a ranged combat attack, they must be able to draw LOF. With the Bats ally TA that Nightwing has, LOF cannot be drawn to him if that line passes through any hindering terrain, including the square that Nightwing is standing in. Since, I assume, he is standing in hindering terrain, LOF cannot be drawn to him.

Also, if the attacker is a non-flyer, he cannot make a ranged attack when b2b with an opposing non-flyer. However, a hovering character can always use a ranged attack when b2b, so the attacker would have had to have been a flyer to do this.


Hope this helps......

It helps a lot Psylockeslover. I'm glad I can count on you for
an answer. Yes Nightwing was in stealth and he sent Exp. Annihilus after him. Thanks again.

And here is one more for you. He also tried using outwit
in base to base with my in stealth U. Abby Chase with his
Vet. Deathstroke. That argument I barely managed to win.

Just for my personal curiousity, you did argue that Deathstroke could not outwit Abby Chase because he couldn't draw LOF (which is required to outwit) right?

Just making sure everyone's on the same page.

Yes sir I did

And while I want to go for the record here. What types of hindering terrain block Line of Sight? I know water cant'
what about the bushes? and that stone drang wall on the
IndyClix map?

Hindering terrain by itself does not block LoF. However, when a figure with Stealth is standing IN hindering terrain, it will block ALL LoF.

Thank you Funky Jett.

Water is the only exception.

Remy is correct. Water does not activate Stealth. Water is hindering for movement purposes only.

i was wondering. if someone has telekinesis and 2 lightning bolts, can they move 2 people with one action?

So water cant be used as stealth? I wanna make sure I got this right because on the other day in a game, Batman was standing in some water and they said I could not attack from range since he was in the water and stealth. Or does the Batman team ability change this rule? Thanks

no water does not count towards stealth

Wow, I thought water could give you stealth as well.
