Isotop Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Hi, first time aksing a question in this forum - hopefully this was not brought up before (feel free to link me to the corresponding topic in that case). Am I allowed to measure everything at any time? I am a bit confused since the core rules say: Quote Players may measure distances at any time. , but then the next paragraph says that Quote Range tools are used to measure distances for attacks, actions, abilities, and movement caused by Pushes, Pulls, and Places. and Quote Movement tools are used to measure distances for advancing (X), dashing (H), jumping (T) and climbing (U). There are two movement tools: Advance (X) and Dash (H). Am I only allowed to measure if any of the instances listed above take place? Or anytime regardless of the "thing" that is happening in each given moment of the game? Going more into the details, am I only allowed to measure a range starting at the base of the attacking model (see the next paragraph after the quoted ones) or am i allowed to take a range measurement starting at any model? (same question for movement) Am I allowed to check for contesting range (regarding mission tokens) and engagement range at any time? Thanks in advance!

So long as you limit yourself to no more than one range tool and one movement tool at a time, yes, you may measure anything at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the answer. Could you (or another mod) also clarify whether the following statements are true or false? 1: A player is not allowed to measure a distance starting from another measurement tool ("combining" two tools) since a tool is no object. 2: A player is allowed to use a line laser (for checking line of sight, cover, etc.) since a line laser is not/can not be used to measure a distance.

To add to that, it would be against the rules to use a base to measure as well, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tools are different types, you may.

You may not use a base as an additional measurement tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
