Hi!

I just have a (hopefully) quick question in regards to shooting a pistol during melee.

The block on Point Blank makes it clear that if you are shooting a pistol against someone in melee with you, you do not get the +30.

The block on Shooting into Melee is clear to me if the scenario is A shooting at B who is in melee with C, then A gets -20.

What is not clear to me is the wording under Shooting into Melee about "another character".

What happens if A is shooting at B while B is in melee with A? I know the +30 doesn't come into play, but does B get a -20 since A is in melee with "another character"? Or is that more for the 3+ party situation above where A is shooting into a group of melee?

Thanks!

Seems I can't edit, sorry the above I swapped A and B in the last part. I am wondering if A gets -20 on his BS, not B.

Sorry.

Since you're probably not in danger of shooting yourself, the -20 only comes into play when you're shooting into a melee containing a character different from both the shooter and the guy who you shoot at.

Also, the Edit-button is located right above the post on the grey line. Yup, this forum software is certainly the best one ever made.

Ah I see the edit now, thanks! My eye site isn't so great lol.

And your answer makes sense, thank you!
