BProxy Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 If I am using a range 4 stick's short side to measure range 1, am I allowed to use lay that stick down and measure range 4 with the long side. For example, I am moving black bolt up to be within 1 of an objective, but I want to also know where range 4 is from that point. Is it legal to lay down the tool and do both? It's only one tool, but is being fully used in both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoras Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 You are effectively using 2 tools at this point, even if its physically only 1 tool. This is not how the measuring tools should be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BProxy Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 Should I assume beams and just laying the stick on the table are still okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanLeCull Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 could you please clarify how a tool must be used then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you expand on the question? 3 hours ago, DanLeCull said: could you please clarify how a tool must be used then? Do you have a specific interaction that is unclear? The clarification above is that measuring two different distances at the same time with a single tool is equivalent to using two different tools, which is against the core rules stipulation that you can only use one of each tool type at a time.

DanLeCull Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 so you are saying that if I use the range 1 side of the range 4 tool to place Black Bolt within 1 of an objective token, i then cannot use the same range 4 tool to measure his attack range? do i have to physically dispose of the range 4 tool (used as a range 1) tool to then grab it a second time and use it as a range 4 tool? what is the physical process involved here?

This sounds like two separate measurements that are not occurring at the exact same time. You measured Range 1 from the objective, placed the character in its spot, then measured range 4 from the character to somewhere else. The original question was about measuring the Range 1 and the Range 4 at the exact same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beams are measured as described in the beam attack section of the rulebook (page 16). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
