Can any part of Biv's Close & Personal ability be used against objects?

I assume you are asking because it states with the ranged attack that you target the same "figure", yes?

In the original RAW, there was an omission that stated Reach could not be used against objects, since it specifically states "figures". After some community rumbling and some dev input, this was altered in the FAQ.

While this specific text was made after the Reach FAQ, one could postulate that this is intentionally stating figures. Personally, I would allow C&P to be used against objects, even though RAW states "figures".

To me, this sounds like a rules query (see link in signature). Either this is another omission, an oversight, or there is a specific reason you could not use C&P's ranged attack on an object.

Thank you, and yes, that is my concern.

I'll write to the FFG site and post my response here.

Please PM me with the results, and i will post them to the FAQ.

I should really change my signature to add a link to that post and a link to Fizzgrid™.

No, “Close & Personal” must target a figure.

Thanks!

Hi.

Quick question- thins like splash and cleave on items- like terminals, door- do they have damage reduction applied??

Currently there is no way to avoid or reduce Blast or Cleave damage.

No defense dice are rolled so there's no way to add blocks.

Blast, Cleave, Shock Grenade, C22 Frag Grenade and a lot of other abilities are not attacks, so you don't defend against them, whether figure or object.

Biv being Biv, though, no one would put it past him to get angry enough at an immobile object to make it personal

Kylo Ren made it personal on several immobile objects with one of his temper tantrums.
