I really don't understand why people are 'uneasy' about Andira's attack affecting other, non-adjacent enemies she is attacking. It is simply a case of using some imagination.
(snipped fairly lengthy thematic explanation =P =P =P)
In all honesty, I think my own uneasiness with the idea was mostly surprise. I hadn't ever thought of or encountered in game a situation like this one where Andira's Peirce should get applied to targets at a distance and I made the same subconscious inference that a lot of other people in this thread seem to be making (ie: that she cannot affect targets at a distance.)
As I said in previous posts, I completely agree with your interpretation of the rules. I also agree that thematic flavour should be bent to fit the rules (wherever possible) given the disasterous potential of doing things vice versa. As time passes and my mind becomes accustomed to this discussion, I find myself less and less queasy about it. Don't worry about us lolligaggers, Corbon, we'll catch up eventually. =)
