Considering the recent Detonate Tanks ruling, I want to confirm that I'm playing Santiago's Leadstorm correctly.
(2) Leadstorm
(CC: 14/Rst: Df /Rg: :pulse6) Dg 4.
Unlike Detonate Tanks, which is a (1) Action, this is a (2) Spell, and it includes a classifying it as a ranged attack. It does not generate a duel, it merely inflicts Dg 4.
So:
1. Santiago cannot use this in melee, due to the ranged icon?
2. Despite the ranged icon, I assume no randomization for melee, everyone is targeted by the pulse? I'm not sure about this. What about the +1 Df for being in melee? It's not a Strike, but it is an attack, so I'm on the fence either way.
3. Does cover come into play in a Df resist duel? Does cover only apply to opposed Strikes, or does it apply here?
4. The ranged icon would indicate that Santiago needs LoS, even if a model is within the pulse?
I have a regular opponent who often uses the Santiago. Clarification would be appreciated.
