fingerguns Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 When using Storm’s leadership to choose an allied character within two of the active character, and place them within range one of the active character - can the active character be placed within range 1 of themself?

Negoldar Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Yes it can be. Please see below. Edited November 17, 2020 by AMG_Pagani Updated Answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingerguns Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 If an inactive character were to be placed within range 1 of the active character, the active character's mini determines the placement, but overlap of the bases would not be allowed. Should the active character be moved by Storm's leadership, as in the original question, does any consideration need to be taken for the "starting" placement of the mini? (Hard to put into words, but similar to the transformation rules, where the bases can't overlap - this would be an imaginary base restricting movement) To confirm the end result more so than the method of execution: the active character can be placed mere millimeters from their position at the start of the leadership's placement effect.

AMG_Pagani Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The Leadership can only be used by the active character - inactive characters cannot be placed. There is no consideration of the starting position other than it is within Range 2 of the chosen character. This is different from transformation which uses two physically different miniatures. Your confirmation at the end is correct. Additionally, while Negoldar was correct in the rules as written from the first question that is not how the leadership is intended to work and is an error on our part. Our next FAQ document will clarify that you must choose ANOTHER character to place within Range 1 of and cannot choose your self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dgraz Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 The Leadership ability seems to clearly state that you are only moving the active character. Allied characters activation (not holding an objective token) choose an ally within range two of the active character (the aforementioned allied activating character) place the Active character within range one of the chosen ally (the inactive one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negoldar Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 It does. When reading the initial question I missed that part of the setup and addressed only the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
