[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

6 Twisted, Cursed Palossands directly in front of you, though only one of them was currently facing forward while the rest were catching up.
2 Palossands that were further back - they were alone, but their were signs of activity and an earlier, recently ended Fight.
2 more Palossands, each on opposite sides of a hole with messy splatters of blood on its edges.

Hmm. A question, for I feel like it matters: Are these 9 Palossand in the back within range of ranged attacks? '9', because minus that one directly facing us. How high is the risk of accidently hitting Equinox with a ranged attack (if at all) if I send her out for distraction while blasting ranged attacks at the remaining 9? Can I do that in the first place?

Ah, great question. Let me outline how the current Field and Opposition is set up now:

- The Six Palossands are within Range of Melee and Ranged; this is the outer perimeter that was established after the Drone was discovered and repelled. Right now this is what Seddi, Bern, and Co are Facing.

- The Four Palossands further back are NOT within Range of Melee (unless the Mon is BIG or FAST), but can still attempt Mid-To-Long Ranged Attacks with some degree of difficulty. 

Sorry for the confusion here about this!

As for Nox, if you're using Spread you can just....not Target Nox with them. Unless the Move is like Earthquake , where it CAN hit allies, or a Field Effect that targets the current area of combat, you generally don't have to worry about Spread Moves hitting your friends bar some really bad Luck or Confusion/Blindness mucking with your aim. Unlike in real life splash damage discriminates friend from foe rather easily on account of anime/game logic Making It So most of the time!

If you're doing Single Target attacks their is no risk at all of hitting Nox unless either you fuck up really badly with the aim or they fuck up and find themselfs intercepting a Spell on accident, both of which are VERY rare mechanically and IC.
