This, my friends, is a sticky situation.

[Aseaheru]

Can I fire then move?

[Powder Miner]

martzel is not in his most effective area here

[IronyOwl]

Can I fire then move?

No. You can't in normal FEF, and I believe it came up when giggles was describing Officer shenanigans.

[mastahcheese]

I'd tell you to GET TO THE CHOPPA, but that Skyranger's expensive equipment to waste.

[Blade Master Model 42]

I think it's time to GTFO.

[Aseaheru]

How does shooting on diagionals work?
For instance, if I go to F20 could I still shoot purplemachineofbio-engineered death B?

Also, are we allowed to read the other sheets in the big ole' database of lists, including armory, mooks, and aliums, sutch as exist?

[GiglameshDespair]

Diagonals don't exist in FEF, XCEF included.

Shooting ends your turn. You can move, you can shoot, you can move and shoot, but you can't shoot and move.

You can read sheets I've linked to at some point. If I haven't linked to it, it's off limits. You can read other players sheets, sure.

[Aseaheru]

So, can only shoot/throw things in cardinal directions?

That... limits things somewhat...

[Sheb]

No, but distances for range are calculated in manathan coordinate.

You are silly. Again.

Diagonals exist in XCEF (And FE in general) HOWEVER, the distance (hereby termed as 'range'--the distance between the starting point and endpoint) is calculated cardinally.

Let's mark that example out in code, so y'all can see it.

Code: [Select]

o   o   o   o   o
o   o   x   o   o
o   x   @   x   o
o   o   x   o   o
o   o   o   o   oSee the adventurer above! In generally all roguelikes, they have a range of 1 tile! The same goes for FireEmblem, and its associated spinoffs, like XCEF! The range is denoted in the x's. The person is obviously the @.

Now let's give em a recurve bow (as seen in the many FEFs around) [range 2]

Code: [Select]

o   o   x   o   o
o   x   o   x   o
x   o   @   o   x
o   x   o   x   o
o   o   x   o   oSee the range in how it can get diagonals--but requiring 2 moves, cardinally?

As a mirror, the Crossbow has a range of 1-2.

Code: [Select]

o   o   x   o   o
o   x   x   x   o
x   x   @   x   x
o   x   x   x   o
o   o   x   o   oSo you can see minimal and maximal differences.

Let's extend that to a Customized Machine Gun with a range of 1-4!

Code: [Select]

o   o   o   o   x   o   o   o   o
o   o   o   x   x   x   o   o   o
o   o   x   x   x   x   x   o   o
o   x   x   x   x   x   x   x   o
x   x   x   x   @   x   x   x   x
o   x   x   x   x   x   x   x   o
o   o   x   x   x   x   x   o   o
o   o   o   x   x   x   o   o   o
o   o   o   o   x   o   o   o   o
Damn good aim, soldier.

AS A RULE BY THUMB: Think of your range as a 'pyramid' or a quadralateral. Assign the number to stretch out cardinally, then draw diagonal lines from the MAXIMUM range tip in the cardinal direction to each other tip--and that's how far you can attack.

[GiglameshDespair]

This is the same for movement, shooting, throwing, whatever.

[IronyOwl]

How cute, it's moving away from the warm flesh. Silly examples are the best!

[GiglameshDespair]

That grenade rolled minimum damage on two enemies, and merely low damage on the other.

[mastahcheese]

It is terrifying.
