My foe's V-Huntress gets two ranged attacks. I have my V-Doombot taxi E-Moonknight so that Moonie is at base contact with Huntress. Doombot is within Huntress' line of fire.
Question: Can Huntress shoot at both Moonie and Doomie?
I thought that if a character was based with another then they could not use a ranged attack.
Situation Two:
Solomon Grundy is adjacent to friendly Green Lantern.
Infront of Grundy is a object.
The player has GL taxi Grudy and at the same time has Grundy pick up the object that was infront of him.
Question: Is this legal? More specifically, can Grundy pickup the object "for free" while being taxied by GL?

Thank you.
Situation 1:
Since Huntress does not fly, she can not perform a ranged combat action while adjacent to an opposing figure. Your Doombot is safe from Huntress for this turn.
Situation 2:
Grundy is the one that has to be given the move action in order to pick up the object. He isn't able to pick up the object while being taxied.
My V-Storm and R-SHIELD Agent are 10 squares distant from enemy E-Raven. Next to Raven is R-Steel.
Raven is within LOF, but not Steel. I use the SHIELD TA to boost Storm's EE damage to two.
I need a 16 to hit Raven. I roll a 15 and miss Raven. Do I hit Steel ( his DV is 15)?
You have to hit the primary target(s) of an EE attack first, then check and see if adjacent characters are also hit. Since you stated Steel was out of LOF, it wouldn't matter if V Storm had 2 bolts, she couldn't hit Steel, and the EE won't damage him since the primary target, Raven, was missed.
Originally posted by MeatLoafX 1. Flyers can range, even if they are based by an enemy. A non-flier, however, cannot make ranged attacks against non-adjacent figures.
ummm, non-flyers can't use ranged attacks at all if based by another non-flyer.
Huntress with two ranged attacks is adjacent to both enemy MoonKnight and enemy (hovering) Doombot.
She can range attack both of them.
True or False?
Cyclops is adjacent to three enemy figures. He can use RCE against all three.
True or False?
An object is in the square in front of a character with superstrength. He can pick it up without taking an action token. Furthermore he doesn't have to move to pick it up, since it is close enough to grab.
Sorry to rehash this, but my friend and I are still not seeing eye to eye, and the previous answers have been interpreted differently.
Huntress with two ranged attacks is adjacent to both enemy MoonKnight and enemy (hovering) Doombot.

False. Huntress is a non-flyer so she cannot make any ranged attack when based by an opposing non-flyer, ie. moon knight.

False. RCE works only for single targeted attacks.

False. The character must take a movement action in order to pick up an object. He doesn't necessarily need to move, but he does need to be given the action.
Huntress cannot make any ranged attacks because she is based by a non-flier.
Cyclops could only target three adjacent figs with ranged attacks if they were ALL fliers. One non-flier would negate his ability to use a ranged attack.
Picking up an object requires an action, but the character would not need to move to pick it up if it was adjacent to the character.

Just to play devil's advocate here, but this is what Psylocke Lover posted last week about RCE and adjacency:
Quote
I was wondering when someone would finally ask this question. The absolute truth is, as the rulebook (Universe) and PAC read, there is absolutely NOTHING to prevent Cyke from using RCE with Elektra adjacent to him.
Yes, this goes against everything we "know" to be true, but there it is, and here is the explanation:
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Universe rulebook page 17, Ranged Combat:
If the range value is greater than 0 and your character is not in base contact with an opposing character, then you may give your character a ranged combat action.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, flyers are an exception to this rule, but we will ignore that for the moment.
To paraphrase the quote, Cyke cannot be given a ranged combat action if; a) he has a range of 0 or less, or b) there is an opposing character adjacent to him.
Now, through much discussion, we understand the basic fact that attacks and actions are not the same thing, and are not interchangeable. So, while, in the above example, Cyke cannot be given a Ranged Combat Action, there is nothing that states that Cyke cannot make a ranged combat attack.
Enter RCE. RCE, as we know, is not a Ranged Combat Action, it is a Power Action that results in a ranged combat attack. Since it is not a Ranged Combat Action, there is nothing to prevent Cyke from blasting poor little Elektra to smitherines!
And just for the record, this has been true since Indy....
So the answer isn't as cut and dired as y'all might think
ummm, non-flyers can't use ranged attacks at all if based by another non-flyer.
Poor wording on my part, I'm sorry. I was trying to indicate that non-fliers could make a ranged attack against an adjacent character (if that character is a flier) but cannot make ranged attacks against anyone who is not adjacent.
