Question about pushes

[11th Thunder]

If I have to push a model 3" away (but not directly so I can choose the direction it is pushed) am I obligated to chose a direction that will make it move the maximum distance in a straight line, or do I pick a straight line, and move it until it hits a peice of impassable terrain?

[Priceopolous]

As long as at every point during that push the model is moving away from you then it is legal. You are not obligated to pick a direction that isn't obstructed. So yes you could just push straight into an impassable object and stop there.

Also be clear on whether it says "push 3" away" or "push up to 3" away". One gives you an option on the distance up to a maximum of 3", the other must be 3" (unless obstructed which is the case in your scenario)

It really depends on how it is worded. I font have my book on me at the moment, but Im pretty certain that Away and directly away are synonymous in this edition. Ill provide page reference numbers if such is the case once I get my book back.

[Soundwave]

Yeah, Away and Directly away are the same - or rather, there's no Directly away nowadays.

Away is in a straight line away from the target point. The other kind of push is "in any direction", which is, in any direction.

At work as well, so I can't be handy with page reference numbers, sadly.

Page 43.

Pushes are done in a straight line. Some pushes are full distance and some say "up to".

All of them end if there is anything impassable in the way.

Towards and Away are both Directly Towards or Away.

Hmm interesting. I was playing the other day and I triggered drag with a December Acolyte. There was an intervening Ht1 piece of hard cover in between the acolyte and the target. Does that mean the drag would hit the cover, expend 1" being dragged up the cover, then drop down for no extra movement and then continue the drag from there or simply stop when it hit the cover in the first place.? It isn't impassable so I'm feeling the former here.

Blocking?

Then it would stop.

The model cannot pass through impassable objects (such as other models, or walls) or climb. If a Pushed Model comes into contact with an object that is impassible, the Pushed model stops in base contact with the object.

Please note that this is from the last beta PDF but I doubt it changed in the book - what I don't have at hand right now.

I think I know the answer, but just to clarify, if you move over a Ht1 rock as part of your move, does that count as "climbing"?

[Fetid Strumpet]

Depends on how you and your opponent have classified it.

[Mike3838]

With the options being "Climbable", "Open" or "Impassable" ?

[Priceopolous]

Right, so just to tie this up, a Belle's Lure is a push in their direction equal to your wk stat right? I have been WAY too accommodating to my opponents. I have been taking the path of least resistance to the Belle when I simply could've whacked the potential target behind something, anything! I hate lure! Oh Rasputina what have I been doing to you all these games?

[Ausplosions]

Lure is a walk, not a push.

[Fetid Strumpet]

Actually Lure is a move, not a walk.

[Priceopolous]

Damn... I reiterate. I hate lure. :Sad_Puppet2:
