Title: Grimson Deadeye, Sniper vs. Flying Creature
Post by: kisqqcs on March 24, 2013, 12:33:53 AM
When Grimson Deadeye, Sniper is attacking a flying creature in the same zone which range modification should be applied? Is it treated like a zone 1 attack with 6 dice?

Grimson Deadeye, Sniper:

Roll 1 fewer attack die for each zone beyond 1.


I would say, that you are right, sir - he will roll 6 attack dice (0 is not beyond 1, so no reduction here).

Grimson Deadeye cannot attack a flying creature in the same zone.
His range of attack is 1-3 zones away.

Targeting flying creatures in the same zone was addressed in another thread a while back, then clarified in the FAQ.

From page 10 of the FAQ.

FLYING

A creature can ignore minimum range when making a ranged attack against another object in its zone if either the attacking creature or the defending creature (or both) have the Flying trait.

Arrow, I lost a match in a tournament recently because I thought the same thing about Grimson not being able to shoot a flyer in the same zone. Turns out I was wrong (would have won the match too :-( ).

Page 19, second paragraph under flying:

Quote
Ranged attacks can target a Flying creature normally. Important: Any ranged attack can always target a Flying creature in the same zone, even if the minimum range is greater than 0.

Shad0w is on the prowl! Not in this case but that minimum range of one has bit me in the bacon more times then one. :dry:
