[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 4282828, member: 1656"] If the player doesn't expend the daily, the orcs [i]aren't[/i] lined up right. I'm not talking about "Orc 1 is in square A3, and Orc 2 is in square C3". It doesn't matter which squares they're in on the battlemat, as long as they fit the mechanical requirements of the power. But those squares are five feet across. On average, the orcs are ten feet apart. But when you film the movie, if you tell the actor playing the orcs "You must be somewhere in this square, and you in this square", they could conceivably be only slightly more than five feet apart, or they could be over fifteen feet apart, depending on where in the square they stand. Let's say that for two orcs in squares A3 and C3, the ranger can only make his shot work if the first orc is standing along the left-hand edge of his square, and the second orc is in the far-front corner of his square. On the battlemat, the mini is just "in that square". But when you film the movie, within those squares, they're either in the configuration that works for the double-shot power, or they aren't. If the player expends the daily, they're in the right positions. If the player doesn't expend the daily, they aren't. Either way, they're in squares A3 and C3. But if the player doesn't spend the daily, then in-game, the ranger thinks "Damn - if the other orc were half a foot to the left I could nail both of them!", and just shoots one. If the player does spend the daily, the other orc [i]is[/i] half a foot to the left, and in-game, the ranger thinks "I'll never get a better chance!", and takes his double-shot at both of them. So your question is "What happens if they line up right, but the rules don't allow you to the use the power?" My answer is "Unless you use the power, they [i]don't[/i] line up right." -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
