Psycadelius Posted November 1 Posted November 1 Steady allows only ranged weapons. so my opponent claim to use Wrecker and omega and perform a melee attack action using the steady keyword as wreckers weapon is in fact ranged ? is this allowed ? effectively giving him charge with this unit ?
Seth Posted November 1 Posted November 1 Hi there, As described in the Weapons entry, "A weapon with both a melee icon and one or more blue ranged icons can be used as a melee weapon or a ranged weapon, chosen when the weapon is added to an attack pool.". These weapons can be either ranged weapons or melee weapons, but will not be both - they are treated as one or the other each attack. The Steady keyword reads that "During this attack action it may only add ranged weapons to attack pools." Finally: during the Declare Defender step of the attack sequence, "A ranged weapon cannot be chosen if the defending unit is in melee with the attacking unit." ---------------------------------- 3 hours ago, Psycadelius said: is this allowed ? effectively giving him charge with this unit ? No. The Steady keyword only allows a unit to perform an attack with ranged weapons. A unit cannot form an attack pool with ranged weapons if the defending unit is in melee with the attacking unit. Omega and Wrecker each have weapons that may be used as melee weapons or as ranged weapons. The Steady keyword only allows them to use them as ranged weapons; it cannot be used to perform an attack using their weapons as melee weapons. Hope this helps, Seth
