If my opponent has the crit “Depowered Armament” in which he/she can’t attack at long range, can they still take control of a token at long range? I would think no, as control of tokens is determined by “gathering your dice pool as if you were attacking”

Thoughts?

Different question, same answer - you perform the same steps as if you were attacking, up to the gathering of dice.

So, no?

No, indeed.
