Grimson Deadeye, Sniper vs. Flying Creature

[kisqqcs]

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?

[Gewar]

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).

[kisqqcs]

Thank you, that's what I was afraid of

[Aarrow]

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:

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.

Yup 6D for him when shooting flyers at range 0

[DarthDadaD20]

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:
