Hello, Senor Massacre throws an eclipse grenade. Next order a Jaguar moves into the Zero Visibility Zone. Next order it Intuitive fires against an Auxbot armed with a heavy flamethrower. The Jaguar makes a Wip check. If the Auxbot had a Combi Rifle, the answer would be simple. It could either make a BS attack Face to Face against the Jaguar's Wip check at a -6, OR it could Dodge at no penalty. (Beyond the -3 to dodge it has for being a Remote) What happens if it wants to shoot its Heavy Flamethrower back? Is it: 1) It automatically hits the Jaguar (while the Jaguar now makes a Normal Wip check) 2) It makes a BS attack at a -6 face to face against the Jaguar's Wip check. 3) It cannot attack at all, and may only Dodge at a -3 for being a Remote? 4) Something else?
Hey there! 1 is correct, Direct Template Weapons follow the same basic rules as a normal shooting attack, but well... it automatically hits. Thay said, you guys need to slow down. The Jaguar doesn't make a WIP roll until after the enemy has declared all AROs. Rolls and effects happen at the same time, after all skills have been declared.
