In the above picture is Mak's Covert ability in effect? The card reads hostile figures 4 or more spaces away. Does this mean 4 empty squares or is it 4 as shown in my picture?

I always thought 4 empty but I got a lot of push back from a player on my last session.

I don't have the page references handy, but as it is in the picture would trigger the ability. Look up "Counting Spaces" in the RRG.

I think it's like in your picture. That nexu is 4 spaces away form Mak. "4 or more spaces"

Covert ability is in effect as per the rules for "counting spaces" in your example.

That nexu is just gonna pounce in and bite Mak's face off anyway. Might as well remove him from the table.
