Chaplain Otho Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Testing out my army list on Tuesday I came up with a question which neither me nor my opponent could answer, If i use Null Zone, psychic power used in shooting phase but not classed a s a psychic shooting attack, can the librarian and unit he is with still run? I said yes because he is not shooting or using a psychic shooting attack, my opponent argued no as he can't do both actions in the same phase, In the end we rolled off and agreed to look it up later, can anyone help?

dswanick Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 As you stated it is not a Psychic Shooting attack, it is simply an action taken during the Shooting phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something Wycked Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 For more clarity (and ammunition you can use against your opponent :huh: ), psychic shooting attacks typically are targeted instead of a general area of effect. Flame templates, blast templates, a straight line, a specific unit, etc. Many of them have a shooting profile like a ranged weapon. Like the others have said, this is just a psychic power that happens in the shooting phase. With few exceptions, psychic powers in the movement phase do not prevent the caster from moving, nor do powers in the assault phase prevent the caster from assaulting; only powers that act like a ranged weapon of some sort or specifically state they are psychic shooting attacks would prevent the unit from running, since one model is "shooting."

Excessus Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 There is a clear definition of shooting attacks from the faq. Q: What psychic powers count as psychic shootingattacks? (p50) A: Any psychic power with a profile like that of a ranged weapon (i.e. has a range, strength and AP value) and any psychic power that specifically states that it is a psychic shooting attack.

Ming Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 OK...can you then null zone and then smite with an epistolary in the same shooting phase.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 OK...can you then null zone and then smite with an epistolary in the same shooting phase.... Sure can. You are limited to one Psychic Shooting Attack per turn. As Null Zone is not a Psychic Shooting attack, it does not count towards nor is it affected by that limit.
