Movement tool placement when moving "toward" something

[zeusjus]

Hello,

The MagnaGuard "Protection Protocols" allow them to advance toward a chosen character. On page 28 of the rules, after describing how to algin the movement tool, it states:

Quote

The moving object can’t cross a straight line drawn along either arm of the angled movement tool to the edge of the table.

While advancing the MagnaGuard, could the movement tool go outside of that straight line as long as the MagnaGuard are placed inside of that line? Since they do not move along the tool it would seem they never cross the line, even though the tool does.

Thanks!

Yes. During an Advance the moving character is picked up and put in contact with the tool. It does not follow the tool so it does not cross the line made by the angled movement tool.
