    Hi all,

    Have a question about the dodge/engage ability while prone, and then a follow up irt template weapons.

    Does dodge or engage have any negative effect on dodge/engage? Range or role wise. And if there is a negative impact on dodging/engaging right trough a template.

    I ask as last week i was in a situation where someone started prone at the top of the stairs, and i was trying to flush him out with a Hvy Flamer. Stairs blocked LoS as he was prone, so i had to come half way up. However, he had Kinematics (so dodge range is 3"), so he would simple ARO Engage. Because i only had a template its not even a F2F roll, and because engage is a dodge, we would completely ignore my attack if successful. So a natural Ph12.

    That just didn't sound right to me.

    i know dodge vs template ignores the template when successful, but does it apply to engage as well?

    And does it remain a natural Ph roll?


    Thanks.

    Hey seb, I think you need to post this in the Infinity Rules section, lest people respond with "Prone? Template weapons? What...?" :P

    Oh, and welcome to the forums!
