Wait then fire question

I have a question about wait then fire: Does it qualify as a special attack? Woudnt it qualify as an attack modifier? For example, say I have a 4th mass figure with height advantage and wait then fire. I add one dice for wait then fire. Do I add another dice for height advantage?

Thanks

Need miniatures painted?

Re: Wait then fire question

Yes. Wait then fire is a special power not a special attack. So you you can add to your attack.

Is it called Wait Then Fire Special Attack? Does it have its own Attack value? Does it have its own Range?

No. No. and No.

So, its not a special attack.

and all this time I been just going with "If it doesnt say Special Attack, its not a Special Attack"....never thought of those other two criteria

5 MS, 6 RTTFF, 2 FOTAK, 4 VW, 3 TT, 3 SOTM, 3 TJ, 3 DnD, atleast 3 of each common, atleast 1 of all uniques, 1 set of Flagbearers, 1 Marvel.

Oh, the one is sufficient, but the other 2 are indeed characteristics of all Special Attacks.

While special attacks are always named "Special Attack", special moves are never named "Special Move". That's when those other criteria come in handy: Does it have it's own Move value? It's a special move and can't be modified by movement modifiers! Otherwise it can (with the exception that flying does not benefit from road/wallwalk bonus)

They are done! Version 1.00 is out: Books of HeroScape in pdf format
