Pokey's "Catch" rules question

[pupshaman]

So on Pokey's "Catch" ability, do the other puppets keep the buff for the rest of the turn, or is it only puppets that happen to be within in 2 and LOS at the time of the attack?

I commented briefly on this in chat, but posting here for clarity.

 

Puppets only gain Range 2 if they are within Range 2 and LoS of Viktoria. If they kept it, it would state "till the end of this turn". It's likely that way for balancing purposes if anything else. Hooded Rider starting within range 2, moving 3 spaces and attacking at range 2, for free, is a little suspicious (he can gain range 2 by other means, but there's always a cost).

 

It's the same as Lady Justice's Pep Talk. Pep Talk is an action, however. It targets Self, because the action centres on her. It also states that it lasts until the end of the turn. That's not to say that puppets gain range 2 until the end of the turn (well they do, if within range and LoS), it's until the end of the turn, puppets within range 2 and LoS gain Powerful +1. So while being slightly different, because it's an action, it's pretty much the same.

 

Hope that helps =]
